8) I'm starting this off myself so that everyone knows they
can trust this thread and it will always continue on the promises I
made. GoldenLotus has agreed to my terms to make sure everyone that
purchased from me continues to get free updates. HE will carry on my
work and I am forced to bow down. I said I had one more post left, and
this is it. I regret to inform you that PurpleLotus has now retired and
is going to step away for awhile. I wish everyone the best.

Edit:
For
anyone interested in reading through my now locked and retired review
thread to get an idea where this community came from, go here... This
starts at 300+ pages after I began vending, the old testament of
couponing is long gone.

Thanks for everything, PL! Good luck to you and your endeavors!
-
I'm glad I got the guidebook.....and that I'm just stupid enough to make coupons. lol.
Good luck PL.....
-
Much love PL!
GoldenLotus, welcome! Cannot wait till you are
ready to begin operations and see what you bring to PL's legacy. What
new coupons will we have? What discussions will we have? What new
projects might come of this? Sad to see PL go, but excited for this new
chapter in the history of SR!
-
Thanks again PL. We'll miss you but I have a feeling you won't ever be too far away.
Bring on the new era.

Welcome aboard Goldenlotus. We the members of purplelotus will protect you.. sorry C.I.C 8)

Here we go, all aboard ladies and gents

So let the Golden Age of couponing begin.

The Original Collection is now posted for sale once again:

If you have purchased it in the past, please contact me for directions
on how to get grandfathered in to a listing you already purchased
through my predecessor. A plan is in place so that we honor promises
made prior to my promotion to this new position.
-
The first rule of this thread is we do not allow drama, if you came
here to be dramatic then you can leave out the door you arrived. 8)
-
yes goldenlotus! this is my kinda guy drama-free! No one should
drama online anyway plus these are coupons that help everybody people
shouldnt hate they should appreciate :)

Purple Lotus.
You should have warned us about taking down the coupon website...
I personally only saved 4 of the 9 files in the new OC.
And 0 files of the whole new pack.
I was planning on finishing tonight... until Ive seen that's its a 404 message.
Please! notify GoldenLotus to restore the website, with both of the packs.
Fuck! Please Man!
Its like I was given a Ferrari, and it was taken right back to the dealers lot :(
-
ecstacydude, the listings are back up on a new site, scroll up a
little to GoldenLotus' post and follow the bread crumbs home.

You will be taken care of by golden! Don't worry ecstasydude

Could somebody also kindly point me in the direction of these
breadcrumbs? I messaged GoldenLotus, guess I'm just waiting for a reply
like the rest?
-
The end of an era... Been great PL!
The start of a new... Hello GL!
Lets nike this shit.
-
Welcome GL! I look forward to trying out your products and helping you any way I can. Hello everybody.
-
I still don't know what happened with PL. Is it the drama on the forums that caused all this?
If so, feels unjust to me. but like the class act he is, he stayed true to his word thru the end.
+1
to him, hope he will get all the RL karma he deserves and +1 to
GoldenLotus for stepping up. Hope this thread is 50% as awesome and 100%
drama free
-
just wondering....can we still talk about the pl listings? or will this thread be for only gl?
Ive
moved on with the oc, now im letting friends get the benifits from
them...they had there first $200 dollar savings day and it felt good to
see them so excited...
i tried a in ear beats at wally world, the
nice csm lady tried a few times but could only get it to ring up for 1
cent off, any one else get this on there tries?
cant wait to see what the future bring ! long live the LOTUS!!!

Hey guys,
The past is in the past. Let's let it go and move
forward as the wonderful community that we are. While PL will no longer
serve an active role in the vending process, he has agreed to stick
around while I transition into this role. If you have previously
purchased from PL, then you will have to message him and get verified so
that you can get the stealth listing that will guide me in the process
of forming who all already has rights to the collections.
I would
get that message in sooner rather than later, as it is unsure that he
will be around for very long, in which case I'll be on my own and the
only way for me to verify you as a customer is to have you answer some
specific questions to prove things. For now, the easy way is to contact
PL on SR. Make sure you message him on SR as it will be much easier on
him.
It's rather thrilling to have this fresh start in our
community, and I think we are truely entering the Golden age of our
community here on SR. Listings will go up tonight so that those of you
who have been patiently waiting to purchase will be able to.
Thank
you to everyone who has welcomed me so far! The plan moving forward is
to keep up with the same customer service that PL provided while
avoiding the same mistakes and pitfalls he fell into.
I will be
writing a much more extensive guide on this thread very soon that will
eliminate many of the FAQs that new or potential buyers ask. It's long
overdue. The first rule of Fight Club, NO drama. If they bring drama to
us, just ignore it. Do not even acknowledge it. This is not what we are
about, and I know for a fact PL regrets dearly not adopting this policy
himself.
GoldenLotus
@whiteonwhite: You can talk about PL
and his collections, as I am in fact picking right up where he left off
and those listings will be up tonight. PL has retired and will only be
answering messages for a limited time, but we will never forget him and
I'm sure he will be a subject we always talk about here.

@ecstacydude: PL
regrets he did not have the foresight to warn people, however he has
been working hard along with me to make strides to put plans into place
to cover his promises in his absence. Message me on SR, like everyone
else, and once your previous order is verified, you will be given a
stealth listing for the exact price you agreed to pay for the current
links and your future updates... 0 btc.
By tonight both listings
will be back in place for those of you who did not get a hold of the
listings in time. If you waste my time with claims you own the
collections and it is reported back to me as false, then you will not be
eligible to purchase them. When he stops assisting me, then we will
switch over to a question based method of verifying you were one of the
OG's.
8) 8) 8) If you have your old links, then pasting them to me in a SR PM is all the verification I require.

Thanks Visa, I'll get u again in 68 hours or so :)
And props to T4B for treating everyone to Mcdonalds.

Thank you T4B for everything! If PL said it was cool, then it must be cool. I'd +1 but I still can't. 8)
Hopefully
within the week I will be well established and can start producing new
work for everyone. After suffering through this nonsense, I think we all
deserve some new content.

-
Thanks Turkey for Breakfast! Great looking coupon. Let
me knock out a couple more posts and I'll get you some +Karma lol.
-
LOL totally forgot why were here... The coupons :)
Well, let me be the first to review OC in the new thread (2 pages deep):
THEY
WORK!!!! had a basic run after a short hiatus, new link, new dates, new
prints. all OC that I used work. some, like the tide, pampers, glad
bags flag the cashier, same as before, just kindly tell the cashier to
try the other barcode.
I feel like everyone on PL and now GL's
threads bought it, enjoy it and just come on here to bullshit around :)
If anyone hasn't bought these, run and give GL your money before it's
gone again LOL
As for HC, I feel like I've gotten all I wanted
from it and feel like most of it is too hot. I'm sure they still work
50% of the time and if you have not bought these yet, it's an amazing
high when you score 1 (or 2-3 in a day) but I'm pretty much done with
it.
I can't wait until the Lotus comes up with the next original series. The Golden age you say?
-
And there we go, positive karma for all you couponing fools.
Loving my new otter box phone case. Original collection has been a
game changer for the whole family. HC are fucking awesome and
work if you make them. Can't wait to see what's coming next in the
Golden Age.
-
Thanks GL!!!! Sad to see PL go. How do i send karma? that +1 thing? i
wanna give it to the everyday people who keep this forum alive and
stuck up for PL 8) Really crazy it turned out to be like this and
very nice of PL to not just disappear and say f everything........
-
Just about to purchase the OC. Can't wait to try this shit out!
-
Awesome, looking forward to it skibler! That makes you #2 when you
place your order. Just got my first placed order for the OC moments ago!
What a thrill!!!
Special gift for the first 5 orders... one down, 4 more to go.
GL
For
those of you grandfathered customers waiting on a verification, it
should be later tonight when my next round goes out after it is checked
for accuracy. PL is out celebrating his late birthday which was on
Monday when he could not enjoy himself. Everyone be sure to wish PL a
Happy Birthday and say your goodbyes. He will have advice for those of
you who already have done business with him.
***Monday was April fool's day***
Just
having fun, I'm not really mentally challenged to say something that
foolish. :-) None the less, wish the guy happy birthday. I'm sure we
missed it somewhere.
-
Left you good +KARMA skibler..
Just about to purchase the OC. Can't wait to try this shit out!

You need to reach 100 "post" in order to give karma.. Left you good KARMA as well!

Thanks visahate, thats def the reason, i thought i was going
nuts. I remember someone talking about locations., PL was talking
about having a site and everyone logging to avoid scum who share this
shit on scum sites. I've been to certain places where shit is wiped off
the shelves and it makes it very obvious. Then we're there like a
deer in head lights. Thats bad news. This IMO needs to be worked out
soon. Hard to say location I understand 100% we have to think of
something. PL took alot of his/her time to find all of these coupons on
4689638963948 different sites and put them all in a package for us. Its
much appreciated. I am fucking feening for a WII-U and Super mario game
and nintendo land lol im itchinggggggggggg anyone find one yet or ;)
-
So is goldenlotus just purplelotus under a different name?

I
have no idea what you are talking about. Why are we like a deer in

confused.. Have you had too much koolaid tonight? ;) (joking +1)
-

Roxanne,
welcome to our little tribe. If you weren't on the other thread, you
might have missed what happened. PurpleLotus had a bunch of drama go
down and chose to hand over the reigns to his protegé GoldenLotus..
-
wow, I leave for 24 hours and everything is chaannnnnging!!
farewell
PL, my friend! and welcome GL. run this shit w/the same hard work
and integrity as PL and you'll have a damn loyal fanbase quickly.
-
@turkeyforbreakfast lol i stay far away from sugar. I'm kinda okay
with cane sugar, but rarely ingest it. Kool aid, i felt was the
kool........ aid...... these forums needed. (after hoechella and
prickmode) Don't take it so literal, the name is a scum corporation
feeding on killing children with their pork infused red #40. YUCK!
-
OK! Well now that I'm a member of this elite club. Is there anything
I need to worry about? On the OC collection do you need to check UPCs
or anything? Tempted to just jump in and go, but wanted to make sure I
am not missing any major "rules".
-
Well I don't know about rules but some suggestions:
Stick to the big three walmart, target, kmart typically better results than regional stores
Make sure coupon upc matches upc on product.
Many recommend paying cash, and opinions vary on how much to do within a trip, go with your own comfort level.
Save money and repeat.
Throw Lotus a tip from time to time for your amazing savings.
-
I'm currently FEASTING on free McDonald's thanks to Turkey for
Breakfast's coupon he gave me. Gave it to the cashier and she didn't bat
an eye! THANKS T4B!! Btw, I got this meal on the way home from
using PL's OC coups at Wal-Mart. So thanks to both you, really!
-
Damn, I was only gone for a little over a day and I come back to this :'(
Good
Luck and thanks for everything PL and if you endorse GoldenLotus then
I'm sure this will end up alright. I can't wait to see what GL brings to
the table. If one thing's for certain PL has laid the foundation of
couponing on SR and it's got a bright future.
-

Wait a day, read the forums... there are many tips here that will help you avoid csm interaction and possible rejections.
But
basically yeah just print N shop. Start off slow to build confidence,
try not to draw any unnecessary attention to yourself, dress nice
compare upc etc.
It is also wise to know each store's coupon policy
tl;dr
google coupon mom
-
Thank you sysco88 and handsoap!
I will look into everything a little bit closer! I appreciate the advice. I have a feeling this will be a new addiction
-
I'm amazed that we haven't had anyone from the retail industry post
some knowledge here. There was a guy who claimed to be a CSM on the
other thread but he disappeared.
we know by now that OC is golden (hehe) and 1% ends up on CIC after a year and is still ignored by most locations.
Does anyone here know anything about the big pharmacies LP? Allegedly they visit the stores that are hit hard with HC
and now they send out THAT email on a weekly basis so even if you're the manager who doesnt give a fuck it gets hard to ignore.
I
know they use the phrase "no coupons for free gift cards" often so I
can suggest the unpopular idea of $10 off any subway card instead of
free $15, or $20 off whatever. might be worth a try. I know some people
still pull these off with good % and like I said I stopped using these
when I SAW the emails for 2 major chains. Just an idea
-
Ok, handsoap. We will do that in the next set of HC additions.
Unfortunately, my hands will be more than full this week as I establish
myself, but I'd love the idea of getting started doing updates by next
weekend.
I also want to right a FAQ or beginner's guide. It could easily be done by just quoting you guys.
"basically
yeah just print N shop. Start off slow to build confidence, try not to
draw any unnecessary attention to yourself, dress nice compare upc etc.
It is also wise to know each store's coupon policy"
The first
series of 5 digits on the UPC of the item must match the coupon, with
the exception of the K-Cups and HP Ink coupons, those will fly on any
version of the product regardless. If you grab 20 items, and one of them
has a different UPC for whatever reason, then it might give you an
issue. So when starting off make it a habit to check. After awhile you
will be buying the same stuff over and over again and the days of
checking will be long gone.
Start off small.
Don't go to
the same store with a hand full of coupons more than twice a month. This
is mainly because the cashiers will start to recognize you if you allow
yourself just to go in multiple times in a week.
Yes, L2D, it
is addicting. The savings are great, but I think it's well worth the
price of admission for just the rush alone. No doubts.
Nice catch
on the cash thing Sysco, I should write this all out before I make any
more sales. I still need to go list the HC collection, but I only have
like 40 more messages to get through. Going to be a fun night, my first
day on the new job!
GoldenLotus
-
LOL I see you pick up right where PL left off, trying to take on
every special request! It was just a suggestion, check the field to see
if there is demand for it. Then again there will be demand for ANY
update :)
Great summary, I'm sure folks will add tips along the way.
*Profile cashiers
-
8) It's a common enough request, it's time it gets addressed.
I'm not sure how but I am going to attempt to do additions this week to
both collections.
Who's your pick in the Final Four? I don't see Louisville not winning.
GL
-
Wow, this thread is moving fast!
GL, if you're taking requests, could you PLEASE make a coupon for Mountain House freeze dried meals (~$5 off):
clearnet:
http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=mountain+house&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0
They
make meals while camping sooooo much easier and they're surprisingly
tasty! Plus, they have a five year shelf life so you could stock
up for years!
I'd be happy to throw you some coin if you could do it ASAP.
-
I wish you the best of luck here Golden,I've messaged PL to send
confirmation to you that I've purchased everything ever made by him,lol
It is bittersweet.....but if he vouches for you,that is good in my book.
On a side note to answer your question,I hope it's louisville and syracuse....that will be a good one.
Fuck michigan though,I have a bad feeling about them.
Can't wait to see what you are working on for new additions!
Thanks for stepping up to fill the need by the way.
PEACE and +1 to ya.
-
Just a heads up, both horizon milk coupons ended up back in the
updated pack. The one w/two milks on it is the one that had issues
last time, I believe. Use the one with 3 to a page unless anyone knows
if the other has been fixed?

This
is a great idea! Send me a PM and tell me more about the sizes, prices,
etc in your area. I have never noticed this product myself but will go
check my area too and if we find them all over then I'll make one right
away.
One thing is for sure, there is a ton going on right now,
but if we are to begin this new chapter on the note PL would have wanted
us to, then it must involve NEW COUPONS!
@shrek: I think Michigan might best Syracuse, but I said that about the last two Syracuse games too.
@Dev:
According to my notes, the reason that happens is because both PL and
RX made their own version of that same coupon. It was the day they
realized neither one of them wanted to be doing double work, so they
made a system so it never happened again. However everytime expiration
updates would come along, RX would resubmit his same Horizon coupon and
PL would not notice and then we have two Milk coupons again. Thanks for
pointing that out, with me taking control I don't think we will see that
happen again.
-
So, I was just checking out Walmart's coupon policy and for internet
printed coupons it says that you can't duplicate them... Well,
yeah. But what about PRINTING 4 copies like you can at Target?
-
Posting to sub as well as to say thanks for carrying on PL's legacy.
-
Usually I am gone for a week and there is a new wave of people that
have purchased the packs and are having fun sharing their success
stories and so forth. It's expected every time I do chime in I will see
more new faces then old but I wasn't expecting a change in the Lotus
anytime soon.
In that sense I'd like to say, "Thanks PL for
everything you have shared and provided us with and may all your future
endeavors be great. A wise man always knows when to fold" and "Welcome
to the community GL, and although I am confident you aren't quite new at
all, this is a different position so things will be interesting."
As for everyone else, HEY! Long time no see. Keep couponing
-
So,
I was just checking out Walmart's coupon policy and for internet
printed coupons it says that you can't duplicate them... Well,
yeah. But what about PRINTING 4 copies like you can at Target?
The
way that rule works is not very well understood by the employees or the
customers. One time I was at work and found a coupon on a smoothie king
promotional site that was for a free smoothie. It was a real coupon. I
told my coworker about it, he signed up and we both had coupons for free
smoothies, which we printed out and went to claim. They said they were
duplicates, even though I know they weren't. I explained the situation
and they eventually gave us both our smoothies. The fact is, coupons can
be duplicated on a copier easily, and they have no way to say if you
did or did not do that. We could have gone ran off 100 copies of that
smoothie kin coupon and all 100 would have worked. It was a real coupon.
I would think you would be just fine trying the limits at
walmart, some people might say "cannot be duplicated" to you... but that
same thing gets said to people who are using 100% real coupons and
aren't using duplicated coupons too when they have multiple of the same
coupon printed offline.
Just talk some magic and you'll get whatever it is you were going for if questioned.
GL
-
Welcome Golden Lotus!
I'm a bit behind on the forums but I
PMed you. Not sure if PL is available but I think my PM will show that I
have bought both the OCs and HCs and dominated them. People on this
forum may also help with reassuring I have been around on (two maybe
three lol?) of PLs threads now with stories of success. Let this be a
new chapter of success to all! Cheers! :D
Regards,
Bio
+1 to you GL!

EY GL even though i just sent you a pm I wanted to know for future
references do you want us to send you pms preferable through SR or
Here?? Thanks
-
All hail Goldenlotus, the new king of coupons. I hereby swear an
oath of fealty to our new forger friend and wish him the best of luck in
his new profession. Having spoken to Purplelotus, I believe his
successor is a competent and knowledgeable man of questionable morals
and a penchant for mischief similar to his predecessor.
Welcome friend.
:D

Does anybody who's been doing this for a long time still get nervous
when you're about to checkout? It's not so much about wondering if the
coupons will work (I know they will) it's more about how the cashier
will react. Usually the cashier won't give a damn but I still have those
butterflies anticipating the worst lol. I haven't made that big run yet
but I've been working towards it. Hit two Walmarts today and bought
some more scholls inserts and hanes socks. One bill was 15.50 and only
paid 1.20, the other 9.48 and only paid .48 cents. One thing I always
said I would do if I ever become a millionaire (besides two chicks at
the same time) would be to just buy a bunch of new socks and at the end
of the day throw 'em out and put on a brand new pair. Thanks to PL and
now GL, I can cross off that goal and focus on becoming a millionaire
haha.
-
Does anyone know about Game$hits coupons with their personal EBC
codes?? It would be fuckin epic if we get that up and running. Fuckin
Rip-off scumbaggs robbin little kids of their presents.

Can you use these at gas stations? Like the soda ones?

So,
I was just checking out Walmart's coupon policy and for internet

yeah. But what about PRINTING 4 copies like you can at Target?
I
have run at least 6 and possibly as many as 8 Horizon Milk coupons at
Wal-Mart in a single transaction. "Can't duplicate" simply means you
can't clip them from the paper and photocopy them. Internet coupons can
be printed as many times as you like.

I
do rarely get a bit paranoid at checkout. When it happens it is really
bad and I have to cognitively calm myself down and remind myself I have
done this hundreds of times with very few problems, and never
anything that was not minor.. Congrats on your first few runs! I have
also had the same dream of wearing new socks every day. I have settled
for throwing all my socks out about once a year and buying about 5-7
packs of identical pairs so I never have to worry about mismatching..
Does

They do not accept any coupons at all..

Depends on the establishment. Some places will others will not..
-
Yeah I still get that nervous feeling when I'm next up in line, I'm
honestly more nervous about the people behind me being assholes (cause
they tend to get jealous as fuck) than I am about the cashier giving a
shit. It's all part of the rush that comes when you're walking out
the doors with a ton of shit you got for pennies on the dollar!

butterflies anticipating the worst lol. I haven't made that big run yet
but I've been working towards it. Hit two Walmarts today and bought
some more scholls inserts and hanes socks. One bill was 15.50 and only
paid 1.20, the other 9.48 and only paid .48 cents. One thing I always
said I would do if I ever become a millionaire (besides two chicks at
the same time) would be to just buy a bunch of new socks and at the end
of the day throw 'em out and put on a brand new pair. Thanks to PL and
now GL, I can cross off that goal and focus on becoming a millionaire
haha.
Stone
cold serial killer demeanor, every time. Get your mind right before you
ever enter the store and this will never be a problem. Remember, you
are an "extreme couponer". Watch the show, look at the type of people
that actually do this. They are hunters, they are sharks, they are
fierce competitors that will not be denied. Your blood, sweat, and tears
went into this endeavor. This is your money and you should act like it.
70% of body language is non-verbal! If you feel nervous....then
rest assured you're behaving nervous! These nervous mannerisms raise
subconscious red flags in those around you and make them much more
likely to question your authenticity. It also makes them automatically
assume a position of authority. Don't ever let a lowly Wal-mart cashier,
the jerk in line behind you, or the CSM become the authority figure.
Own it from start to finish. I had a CSM tell me that they had someone
use fake Beats coupons and I STILL got her to use my Beats coupon....
I
did get a bit nervous one time when a manager followed me out into the
parking lot to take down my license plate number....but even then I
laughed it off...

STICKY POST! ;D
Left you good +KARMA Smoked
Does
anybody who's been doing this for a long time still get nervous when
you're about to checkout? It's not so much about wondering if the
coupons will work (I know they will) it's more about how the cashier
will react. Usually the cashier won't give a damn but I still have those
butterflies anticipating the worst lol. I haven't made that big run yet
but I've been working towards it. Hit two Walmarts today and bought

Went around to pickup some more gift cards today. This was
probably my worst run so far. I used to have no problem getting
50+ giftcards over a weekend. Today over 4 hours I managed to get 6
total before calling it for the night. If you've read my posts in
the past you know when I go for cards I usually spread between stores
within a 300 mile radius.
Walgreens was an absolute no go
for each and every gift card attempt. I also noticed at several
walgreens they no longer are using the 99366 variety, and rather the one
that contains 7. These walgreens are all walgreens that I've hit
before and they used to have the 99366. 2 of the walgreens that I
went to had a picture of the newer "Free $100 Visa Card" coupon that had
FAKE wrote across the top taped to the register. This is the
first time I've seen this one from the newest batch of HC.
I
tried going to Kohls since I thought someone a while back suggested them
for gift cards. I couldn't find any of the 99366 variety though.
K-Mart
couldn't get the Red Lobster, or Applebees to scan for some
reason. I know it wasn't the coupon itself because I was able to
redeem them at a few other stores. The second K-Mart I went to as
soon as I walked in I saw a cashier that I went to a few weeks back and
she made eye contact with me several times for pretty long periods of
time so I just left for my own safety. Last time I went through
her register I snagged 3 food savers and they ended up paying me close
to $50 to take the food savers. So I have a feeling she knew what I
was up to.
Walmart is the only store I had success with, but
even then it was limited. At one store I had no issues whatsoever,
in fact this was the first time while using the Free $25 gift card
coupons that when they scanned the coupon it popped up as -$25, instead
of Enter Coupon Amount. Which I think helped with pulling it off,
as they tend to question it a bit more if it asks for the coupon
amount. The second walmart I hit each coupon I tried popped up
with some really weird error on the register that I've never seen
before. The cashier stated that they had just updated their system
and so that may be why it wasn't working. I know a few months
back we had issues when walmart ran an update, hopefully this isn't
similar. The last walmart I went to said that they could not
redeem "Manufactuers vouchers." I attempted to explain that a
voucher is a coupon, but by this point I was exhausted and didn't feel
like arguing so just walked away.
Overall not the best day, but
once it was all said and done me and some friends got to eat close to
$100 worth of Red Lobster for free. We also have a stack of
Applebees cards for later this week.

They 1000% do. I went to one to try and get a red psthree where I
spoke to a manager and he was telling me all about their custom barcodes
called EBC. Their previous name was electronic boutique (C short for
codes im guessing ) Then I went to another one because I thought he was
bullshitting me and spoke with another manager that told me the same
exact thing. Speak to manager they really dont give a fuck lol even they
know the corp are scum
Does
anyone know about Game$hits coupons with their personal EBC codes?? It
would be fuckin epic if we get that up and running. Fuckin Rip-off
scumbaggs robbin little kids of their presents.
They do not accept any coupons at all..
-
thanks for that info zeke...im always curious to how people go about
the gc....ive had terrible luck...only tried three runs but out of 10
stores ive only gotten a a gas card and one of those 40 of 50 visa...
You
got 3 savers at 1 time at kmart? i bow down! hahaha i guess its time
for me to try one of those...what paper did you use? i just grabbed some
card stock and the hc looks alot better on it, ive only tried the beats
in ear on card stock so far and i never felt nervous passing it, csm
tried a few dif times but it only rang up .01 cent do you or anyone else
have any jedi mind tricks for this?
i guess i could just get a foodsaver and take it back, but its not as fun as passing the coup for the beats...
also
GL, i know you have a mountain of work to climb but the talk about the
backpack food and yesterdays weather has me think summer...whats the
chances we could get a summer theme release?
things that come to mind:
sun screen ( i never use the stuff, but all my white patnas would be grateful)
Otterpops !!!! its a summer classic round here
potting
soil that shit is expensive and re doing the lawn this
year.this alone would save me $ and i would def tip for this
Weber Q...ive always wanted one...its the propane kind
coleman roadtrip...these are nice also
leatherman
any camping type stuff...bug spray, coolers, sleeping bags...
o and from the last thread Naked juice would be awesome
long live the Lotus!!

SR and Tor giving me issues so far, trying to get in so I can handle all my messages, hoping it works here shortly.
@zeke:
I've often wondered and wanted to ask people who have been told about
the e-mails in their area, at stores like Walgreens and CVS, exactly
what their couponing habits were. It's strange how certain areas have
issues while others seem completely fresh and untouched and unaware of
the giftcard coupons. I figured one of two things was happening. Either a
national e-mail was sent out and many stores did a poor job of training
their employees or getting the memo to their managers, or it has only
been regional emails sent out in areas that are having an issue with the
problem.
I think if you have been able to get up to 50+
giftcards in one weekend over a long period of time then first of all
that means these things work very well. Good job! Although it may be
that you caused every store in your area to get notified of the issue.
The HC collection will be listed sometime today, and my question to you,
zeke, is what would you like to see added into the HC collection now
that giftcards are not working as well for you?
They
1000% do. I went to one to try and get a red psthree where I spoke to a
manager and he was telling me all about their custom barcodes called
EBC. Their previous name was electronic boutique (C short for codes im
guessing ) Then I went to another one because I thought he was
bullshitting me and spoke with another manager that told me the same
exact thing. Speak to manager they really dont give a fuck lol even they

would be fuckin epic if we get that up and running. Fuckin Rip-off
scumbaggs robbin little kids of their presents.
They do not accept any coupons at all..
The
answer is that Gamestop is a franchise which is privately owned by
individuals who can decide for themselves if their store will accept
coupons or not. This means you will just have to go and ask if you
really want to try a Gamestop. I would try to go in or call in and ask,
and then when you know the answer, later on go give it a try. As far as
their personal coupons, it would be possible to decode them and redo
them, maybe it would even be simple, like a math problem that takes 30
minutes, but it still is something I'd avoid doing from a risk
management point of view, because it's so easy for any manager to get
corporate on the phone, and Gamestop knows exactly what coupons Gamestop
makes.
The same applies to Gas Stations in the sense that some
won't and some will. Some chain gas stations will universally accept
them or not accept them depending on who makes that call for their
company. You will just have to ask or try.
I can't remember the
last time I felt nervous about a shopping situation, but one feeling
that never changes is that feeling you get when you have a successful
trip and the cashier hands you your receipt as you exit the store.
One
thing that is certain with this thread like it was with the previous
threads we had, is that people reading this thread for the first time
will be confused and have questions. Could I ask that a couple of the
old school members of the community briefly explain to a new SR user why
they should make the decision to buy this listing. The current state of
affairs for a new user on SR is that they are more at risk now of
buying a rip off listing that will disappoint them until we are able to
establish that this is where the awesomeness is happening now. Even when
we hit 100+ pages again, these first few pages will always be critical
because the first 5 and last 5 pages is all someone is likely ever going
to read.
Thank you all, SR finally seems to be working, so now I
have 40 messages to go tend to. I would expect we will have some major
announcements coming this week. we have a bunch of ideas and good things
going on right now. Last week was filled with announcing bad news, this
week we will make up for it by having some really good news to present.

First post on the new thread.
First off I'd like to welcome
GL to the family. It's very sad to see PL leave, but at least the legacy
is living on through a new vendor and supplier, and eventually a full
fledged member of the family (once he proves himself to us all :P). I
have sent my verification message to PL, so looking forward to hearing
back about it soon.
I cannot wait to see what GL will bring to
the table, and if all goes well he may even see a nice tip from myself
and a few others that bought from PL. :D
Now about requests for
coupons. I like the idea very much of requesting coupons for use,
because one person cannot think of everything on their own, plus
different regions may carry different items. The only problem I see is
sometimes it clutters up the forums. What would you guys think of a
deepnet version of stack overflow or google moderator? Something where
people can suggest and vote on things? Would make things a lot more
efficient in my eyes. Clearly this is up to GL as he is the one taking
requests. But I just had that in mind and thought that'd be something
that might work better.
Again, looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for us GL. :D
-
I wish we could just have a private thread on here for members
only. That way we could have real conversations about things
without cluttering the review thread, confusing people, or allowing any
drama to occur. Exchange ideas with each other, poll opinions on member
matters, etc.

I've
been using these at least 1-2x/week since last summer. I use them
at most of the same stores over and over again, yet still never have
any issues, and have saved tons of money. The other guys selling a
mix of clearnet coupons that are mostly on the CIC website are stale as
hell. They're a lot of coupons that debuted on SR w/PL a year
ago, and even at that point they had already made the rounds on 4chan
among tons of other clearnet boards. I think anyone who has
purchases these will back me up that it's a no-brainer purchase and will
pay for themselves ten-fold in their first week or two, just use them
responsibly!

I can say for 100% certainty that the OC is the best thing you could
do for your family.Ive been having fun with it for the past few months
with only minor trouble one time, but all that was on a stupid cashier
and not the coups.
Ive pulled up heaping baskets and saved over $250 in one run with no problems!
i
can afford stuff i never could before like good razor blades and juice!
I have been able to help out friends and fam, even a complete stranger
pushing a stroller...there is no words to how you will feel giving a
stack off diaper coups to a stranger in need ....its the best high on
SR!
im not good with computer stuff and thought there would be a
learning curve and there wasnt...simple print, clip, and save...its
that easy!!
i would pay a couple hundred for this...i saved 40 on my first trip so its impossible for it not to be worth it.
add free updates and its the best thing on SR hands down!
edit:
im going to be best man in a upcoming wedding and im throwing the oc
down for wedding food saving them a couple hundred for sure! More for
the honeymoon!
HC is a little more YMMV , but its still worth every penny
i just tried a foodsaver at the K but it range up -.55 instead of the -100
i
tried the coup on the decoder on my phone and the upc does ring up just
55 cents but the databar was fine and rang up 100...my Q is has this
happind to anyone else and do all stores have the ability to scan the
databar one? im not sure why she didnt scan the datbar one, that one
would have been just fine but she gave up after one scan im guessing it
scaned the upc one?

Am I excited to see the torch passed down and what the future
brings. True membership system would go a long ways in keeping it
secure. Also I'm missing some that I didn't d/l from the new

compression of the files also.

GOLDENLOTUS'S FIRST OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AND NEW LISTING (preorders only atm) ;D
I present to you "The Coupon Club - Submission Lottery"
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/828370f562
This is a special price for those of you willing to preorder.
Read the description for terms of preorder.
You must be an existing customer to be eligible to preorder.
This will be a nonprofit listing, although I am running it, I will not see a penny of the proceeds raised.
This
listing will go live anywhere between tonight and Thursday, with me
pushing for it to be ASAP. Just need to get a couple things in order
before it can properly go live and the Thursday latest deadline is being
very generous to me in case of an emergency.

I will be the first to happily support you. Thanks again for everything you do here. Looking forward to this surprise :)

Curiosity killed the cat! Hopefully it wont kill me ;)
I'm game. We have enjoyed your product very much! I'm excited to see what this may be.
**edited for spelling**

I sent you and purple a message on the road about trying to get access back.
Thanks for the coupons so far though! haven't payed for food in a while. :)
edit: I have already been taken care of. thanks golden!

The
gift cards are getting tougher and tougher, it was like printing money
there for a while. Yep the 3 foodsavers at once at k-mart was me
being cocky and it honestly should have never gone through. I
cannot remember if I printed on card stock or the heavy duty high
quality glossy photo paper from red river. I am thinking it was
the paper from red river, can't remember which one off the top of my
head, I know it was like $0.50-$0.75/sheet. I used holograms along
with putting the food saver logos on the backside of the coupon but I
brought the opacity down a bit so it blended well. I haven't tried
the current foodsaver, but its possible there may be an error with it.
@zeke:
I've often wondered and wanted to ask people who have been told about

I think if you have been able to get up to 50+
giftcards in one weekend over a long period of time then first of all
that means these things work very well. Good job! Although it may be
that you caused every store in your area to get notified of the issue.
The HC collection will be listed sometime today, and my question to you,
zeke, is what would you like to see added into the HC collection now
that giftcards are not working as well for you?
The
weird thing about the emails that I saw at Walgreens were both at
Walgreens that I've not been to before. At one of them the manager
said that the president instructed them not to accept any coupons for
free gift cards. I don't truly believe him, but I do believe it is
probably a Walgreens wide email that goes out. Maybe some stores
managers aren't on top of it as well as others and don't check their
emails as frequently or print out the emails. Who knows...
It
very well could have been my coupon habits too, but the way I run the
HC ones I'm not entirely sure. I tend to travel a good distance
when running HC. I try to get at least an hour away from my
current location before starting. I go with a group of friends and
just massacre every store possible and usually make a day of it.
Usually starting around 8:00am and going until close to 10:00pm.
Like I said we tend to drive great distances to hit stores that we know
we haven't hit before.
As far as suggestions for new HC
items, I am not entirely sure. Most of the items that I get I
rarely use for myself. Most of the time I am just getting as many
as possible and then flip them to make a decent profit. Coupons
that are less than $50 off are my favorite as they don't require the CSM
at walmart. Also items that have a high availability of others
wanting to purchase said item at close to retail but maybe a few dollars
off. I really would like to see a $25 or $30 off any "insert
brand here" blu ray movie. Get a blu ray for free, then go flip it
for $25. Do this with 100-200 movies and you could make a nice
little profit over a month. Other than that I would really like to
see a 80% off any bitcoin deposit through Blue Sky Traders or something
similar, actually put this at the top of the list if you could!
Haha but really I am not entirely sure I have been moling over what the
next big money maker could be and I can't really think of one at the
current time.
A couple of things I would really like to see, that wouldn't be a money maker, but things I would have a use for are:
Children's board games, board games in children, children's toys, and activities
Camping stuff, tents, chairs, blow up mattresses, stoves, etc...
$6-$7 off any Sterilite container
$5 or $6 off a 3 pack of EcoEarth Coir
Also I am pumped to see what this new listing has to offer! You already got my money in queue!
-
------- As a Veteran member of this Board let me tell anyone
and everyone that this is the real deal. I and my girlfriend are
both amazed over and over again at the little amount of issues we have
time after time. We are both confident that the services we buy
here are well worth any cost and really the return on your investment is
10 fold. The response from GL and the overall community
support here is top notch.
That all being said we are in!!!! Pre-Order IN!!!!! Can't wait.
First
weekend under the new regime and all Hail the Lotus's! LOL
Went out to our normal spots and had a great run with a total haul
of about $300 for a little over $40. Dropped in to Walmart and
because last week we had a strange error message decided to only try a
few. Actually ended up getting into a supervisors line who was
very nice "but" the second coupon actually jammed the computer!!! LOL
after several attempts and about 5 minutes she asked me to move to
another line! And when the CS rep looked at the coupons asked the
Supervisor well these are more then the products! The supervisor
nicely said yes thats ok just scan them through and as long as they go
no problem! So although Walmart has been a bit grumpy over the
last few weeks with the computer updates we still had a great little run
thanks to a very wonderful supervisor! LOL
-
While being hand picked to take over the lead of this community was
quite the honor, having the numbers next to my name to support the crown
is the next benchmark. In just 3 days we have managed to get almost
half way there. Can we, in just one week, become the top rated coupon
community when the mark to beat has been here for over a year? YES WE
CAN! 8) In less than 3 weeks can we break over 300? YES WE
CAN! 8)
Waiting on a few people to get back to me, and we
will have the brand new listing officially go live. It will without a
doubt be a very fun and awesome listing and with it's nonprofit status,
the question is "What will we do with all of the proceeds?"
While
you must be a previous customer to preorder the new "The Coupon Club -
Submission Lottery" listing, this will not be the case once it goes
live! New customers will be eligible to join in on this listing.
More to come... stay tuned!

Coupons, gambling, any drug on earth.....I fucking love this place!!!
-
you forgot awesome green ogres for friends!
speaking of gambling.....I would have lost my ass on the 2 NCAA game spreads this weekend,I hope louisville beats that ass!
-
I am skywalking tonight because of you friend!
+1 for you as well....
-
Enjoy, my good man!!
+ 1 back at ya....
-
As soon as my transaction is confirmed by SR I'll be purchasing the pre-order on whatever GL has in store for us. :D
Eyes are getting heavy though so it may not be until the morning that I do it. :o
-

No
way was I touching that spread on the Louisville game the other day.
They barely won that game, but I'm pulling for them tomorrow!
I know
we are all getting tired of hearing about it, but watching Ware break
his leg in the game before last was some sick shit to see on TV. I think
they easily walk away with the title.
In coupon related news, we
already have $120 (minus SilkRoad fees that keep this place running) in
the pot for the debut of the new Lottery and that's just prerelease! It
will be a recurring, once a week lottery, but one thing that will never
recur is having to purchase the listing more than once.
-
We need to explore the optimization and compression of the files also.
I
talked to PurpleLotus at length about this. There is an easy automated
way to reduce the file size of the entire collection by 70%! I now do
this myself every time I download the files... Hopefully GL takes this
up.
-
I will review PL's notes and make sure that in the future all
uploads are done with a better form of compression. Tor downloads are
annoying enough as they are, we should take every step we can to make
that more seamless.
-

Yes they are. Great to know somebody is looking out for our time as well as our wallets. :D
-
OK,
GL when you get yourself adjusted.
Please, Start pumping out a new update for us.
Large amount of new food items coupons is very necessary.
I personally had a 10 item list, that was wanted by me on PL list before he left.
Some people agreed on my requests, so I got an Idea.
Maybe you should create a Post on this thread called "Update Requests"
That way we can compile a list of all the items (SR) wants.
***Example***
I say we need... Lays Dip coupon.
So If 3 other people are..... also..... like Yeah, Yes, Need that.
Then we add that item to the Request post, and make a 1), 2), 3), 4) Request list.
You do your magic, and we wait patiently. ;D
Does this sound any good?
-
Go ahead and send me a message with your requests if you don't mind
ecstasydude. I'll start compiling a list and make sure they get
addressed in the next set of updates. Releasing new content ASAP is one
of my top priorities to establish myself. Everyone who has purchased the
listing can send me a PM with any requests, and I can test myself to
see if I can live up to the challenge.
The sooner your requests
get in, the more likely they are to be honored. Although I can't honor
every request, I cannot overlook repeat requests either. Just send me
what's on your list and if it's a repeat I will denote that to make sure
it gets priority.

I started out small this weekend and picked up huggies, horizon
milk, tide, cottonelle, and purina dog food. Everything worked fine and
the checker didn't even bat an eye. Thanks GL ;D
-
We should definitely get a separate forum going and maybe leave the
one here for reviews, basic questions, etc. It'll be easier to
keep track of topics. It would also leave this one less cluttered
and chaotic (in the event of a few pages off-topic ;D) so people
with pre-purchase questions & concerns don't have to try & sort
through 50 pages looking for their answer. Of course, we wouldn't
abandon this one at all, after all the vast community here is what
cements some decisions to buy & start saving ridiculous amounts of
money.
Examples of separate topic threads - Coupon
suggestions/requests, homemade submissions for critique, methods &
locales. I'd even go so far as to have one or two people collate
the requests into a weekly list so GL doesn't have to check on it every
day. Maybe even set up voting polls on a few items.
I think
the thread would take a bit of time to maintain but should be worth it
just in terms of organization. The link to the forum could be
included when someone purchases the collection. GL and the chosen
mods would even have the ability to block or ban people who start flame
wars.

Cafe Bustelo new coupon update didn't work in neither Walmart or
Target! Even though i used the old expired coupon at both stores before,
racking about 18 cans.
Also didn't see the Old "NEUTROGENA" updated coupon in the OC MARCH list!
***EDIT***
Or the Nestle Water
FOUND----------> NEUTROGENA on file 9

Shoot.
I can't even find Cafe Bustelo in cans anymore. Just in the cheap
packages.. I have an updated Neutrogena.. Pretty sure I got it before
the change. I never had a Nestle Water one. Which collection was it in?
-
Ok, So finally a review after i got my 50 posts.
The OC
collection works great. The only issue I have was the Neutrogina and the
Oxy coupon would not work at Walmart, but worked fine at Target. No big
deal.
Would like to see some more products. Maybe some other type of
coffee, like the instant coffee (Nestle) Some other food items, like
buttermilk, butter, Cheetohs... Maybe some house wear items, power tools
that they have at Walmart.
Now for the HC collection. My friend
and I made a weekend out of it and went out to see what we can do. We
scored 5 of the $100.00 gift cards all from CVS. Ride Aid denied
so did Walgreens. Funny thing about one of the CVS's, the manager called
the district manager and he approved. We tried the $50 gift card coupon
at Albertson's and they denied and freaked out, I was in a different
line while my buddy tried doing it and they were watching out the window
when he left to see where he parked and where he was going. Kind of
funny.
Then we tried the Xbox full page $150.00 off the 4GB
model, got denied at Kmart and Walmart. The World of Warcraft coupon
scanned as invalid at 2 Walmarts and 2 Targets, the Subway card scanned
invalid at Target. The Shell gift card has a different UPC out here the
one that starts with 7. And last we tried the Xbox full page wireless
headset $30 off and that scanned as invalid at Target as well.

Great review of the coups.
I
would like to see Cheetos as well, but I think there are multiple
Cheetos coupons on the CIC database, so might want to watch out for that
crap make sure it looks different.
Lucky that the district
manager in your area is a dumbass, I've had no luck at any CVS or
Walgreens with the gift card coupons in my area. Guess it all depends on
how suspicious the workers are.
I'm not sure about Albertsons
because we don't have them in my area, but I know Target doesn't take
coupons that are for a large amount off. I've had no luck with any of
the HC coupons at Target. They always scan invalid. The OC ones work
perfect at Target and I've saved a shit ton of money on groceries
though. Target's coupons all have different UPC's than the ones at
Walmart (as stated in the previous thread).
The Xbox full page wireless headset has worked for me at Walmart, so you may want to try there if you really want one. :D
What
I've noticed is the Visa $100 GC has a different UPC everywhere. CVS,
Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Randalls, etc. I have yet to find a UPC that
matches the coupon.

The Nestle Water in 2012 collection.

cafe bustelo works fine at target and walmart in my area just got some today.
had
a 60 dollar saving at target with cleaning supplies and hanes products,
only issue was they had to break the transaction because i grabbed two
hanes shirts.
ibe got way to many socks and shirts now!
-
Thanks white!
Maybe the bustelo has been blocked at both locations that the coupon was used. Ill check at a few other locations..
****FALSE ALARM****
The
new cafe bustelo from March/2013 UPDATE hasn't been tested. Seems
that the last cafe bustelo was blocked right around the time of the
expiration.
I'll test the coupon in the next few days.

Morningstar and Boca products. For those that don't know these are two brands of vegetarian/vegan prepared meals.

I know a person who would LOVE these.

Looking forward to the new era GL. I've been couponing for about a
month with the OC, not gonna buy the HC until it's replaced. A few recs:
1) That new Lysol Motion Activated Air Freshener :)
2) Healthy food items. I don't think I can eat anymore frozen food.
3) As a music festival Goer, tents, air matresses, that food storage bucket that someone also recommended, sun lotion, etc.
4) I also second coupons for small items things that can be flipped easily like Blurays.
Can't wait for the lottery and your new additions!
edit: GOYA!!!! I consume plantains and yuca like there is no tomorrow

I think there is one for morningstar
-
And Boca sucks :)
What is the lottery about?
Since we are all suggesting products: Light bulbs
-
I think there is one for morningstar
Oh
yes. I do see that. Only reason I mentioned Morningstar was because I
knew they went hand-in-hand. I went to the freezer a few hours ago and
saw Boca and got the idea for a coupon on these.
Didn't even double check for the Morningstar just typed it down knowing they are right up there with Boca. :P
So Boca coupon as my request then. :D
And Boca sucks :)
How dare you say such bad things about Boca. :P
I prefer Boca over Morningstar personally.
-
GOYA!!!! I consume plantains and yuca like there is no tomorrow
YES. I haven't bought GOYA products in years, but would definitely start again if I had a coupon. :D
Thank
you for suggesting this one. If I could I'd give you good karma for
reminding me I need to start using this brand again. :P

Good Karma to all the old heads here.

Seems no expiration was coded in the barcode on a few.
You
can download a coupon barcode decoder from the App Store and check if
exp. dates are hard coded without testing them at stores. The decoder is
free, but limits you to 5 tests a day or pay 99 cents to do unlimited
testing.

Just
splurge and drop the $.99, if I could I'd make a free App coupon for
you, but no need to be such a penny pinching couponer. Look what we
started, got people not even wanting to spend 99 pennies now a days. So
spoiled! HAHAHA JK
@bigndn: no harm no foul, but let's keep our
PMs private along with file names which may or may not have been used.
You can let the comments stand, but I'm just throwing a caution out so
we don't give up too much information to that point that I can no longer
distinguish between a real customer and someone who data mined the
forum.
Really hoping to release details about the new listing
today, but still have one more thing I need to deal with before
proceeding. The sooner I get this done, the more coupons I can make for
the additions to the current collections also.
A lot of talk from me so far, but it's time we see some production and exciting new things.

The
coupon tools allows me to make any coupon I want now. Glad that was
posted after PL quit selling and left. I was able to download the
software and booklet and teach myself within a few hours to make
coupons. I have made several so far and it is nice to know how to do
this. It is a very simple program. Now I dont fear losing the links
because I can make them. This is a great tool. I hope GL will offer it
in the future for those who didnt get to download it free. I have made
10 coupons and all of them work perfect. AWESOME!!
I
wish I could have gotten around to purchasing that from PL, but if GL
decides to offer it in the future I'll be one of the first to buy. :D

I've been doing some looking into different types of paper and I ran
across two websites selling paper for coupons. And one of them has the
CIC Hologram on the paper. If we could get our hands on paper like this
that would bring the HC to the next level.

good
luck using your hp deskjet printing on that. You can just use
24bond, the issue is the high gloss will require laser or a very very
good inkjet with a specific ink(certain manufacturer) to print and not
have smudges.
no one ever looks for a security mark lol.
getting the right paper is easy enough, just not cost effective because
ink is not cheap and your coupons will be costing their weight in
ink. however for gift card ones it would be worth it in value but
the cashiers who read the memo will still deny it.
Just be patient, new things are coming that make your $2 off Velveeta seem like a waste of time

I figured we'd need a good printer with good ink. Just thought it was worth sharing.
I've
had cashiers (as well as managers) tell me they can't take it solely
because it was a printed coupon and you can just put it on the scanner
and get endless supply of copies, so for people like that I think it'd
be worth it because these would in no way look like I just printed it
out.
wraithe, you got some kind of insider info you're not letting us in on? :P

Thanks t4b for the mcdys, got the angus yesterday!! hahahaha
I
had an Angus Bacon and Cheese yesterday myself. Had a minor issue, it
was the second time (at two different locations) that they stated they
do not give out Free LARGE combos. I had to settle for a free medium
combo.. I wasn't hungry or thirsty when I was finished, just a little
miffed that I didn't get my large fry and drink! Oh well, I have had
them dozens of times! Greasy deliciousness.
I certainly applaud
anyone wanting to eat 100 big Macs, but take it from this old McDonald's
rat, I've spent my entire adult life eating at McDonald's, and a
program like this one can do more harm than good.
I
make copies of the free birthday meals from the local stir fry place
here and by the coupons I should be about 215 years old. but its a
free $15 meal lol
-
I'm having trouble finding the foodsaver in the OC, I found the
refills coupon but not the physical foodaver. Is it in the HC?
Is
the Mcdonalds coupon a special coupon made by T4B or also in the OC? I
may have misread...I do admit I've been scanning the thread a bit
quickly.
THanks!

I know beggars can't be choosers but one coupon I'm surprised not to
see in the OC pack is a coupon for Taquitos! They're microwaveable and a
quick snack, similar to pizza rolls but bigger, better, and more
mexican. The El Monterey brand is the best and they come in 28 count
boxes of various types of taquitos (shredded chicken, shredded steak,
chicken and cheese, steak and cheese). They retail for $6.92 at my local
Wal-Mart and the family code is 71007. If there is not much interest in
these, no worries, I've saved tons already and am grateful for what
coupons we have.
While we're throwing out suggestions, I second the light bulb coupon too.
Also,
can't wait to see what this Lottery is all about, pre-ordered and
finalized early. If your offers are even close to what PL would offer, I
have no doubts that this will be amazing!

understand why now. I will talk to GL and suggest whatw e can do
to avoid this. it will be very time consuming but a necessity from

accessing
say usps.com to track your package from tor raises flags because of the
location of the proxy etc. he is implying doing the same thing
with the cic will raise flags. but the cic isnt gonna correlate

i can argue both cases.
accessing cic from home shows your interested in coupons
accessing from tor shows the cic that someone who wants to be anonymous likes coupons
i think we forget these are coupons and not illegal midgets we are trying to smuggle across the border
i think using tor is safer

Scout is pretty accurate. What PurpleLotus said was, if someone
pastes a CIC website on this thread, don't click on it. It was just a
theory he had that if the CIC wanted to create a honeypot they could
just make a special link and ONLY post it here and anyone who clicked it
would obviously be coming from this direction. My suggestion was that
if someone posted a link that was a CIC website, to just go to the main
CIC website and then navigate your way there. It was simply me a thought
he had one day when we were really high and thinking about "Hmmm, if we
were the CIC then how would we catch us?" As far as whether he had any
opinions on To Tor or Not To Tor... well scout knows his history better
than I do. I'd say it's a lock to put your money on scout.
And
honestly, in a sober state, I realize the CIC is obviously NOT
interested in SR users even if they are aware of SR and PL/GL. Now if
they are aware of this operation, then are they interested in me? I'd
think so.
I have reason to believe the CIC has no idea what
SilkRoad is and have never heard of us. I strongly believe that but this
is not the place to have such kind of discussions. It's all
hypothetical and if a real threat ever exists I'll be the first one to
come on here and report it. For now, all is good in Coupon-land.
One
question, I'm curious, Scout have you ever purchased and or get gifted
any of PurpleLotus's coupons? I know he was the type of dude to just
give things away to someone like yourself. If you say no, I am afraid I
have to kick you out of this thread, as it's for customers only! HAHAHA
JK WE ALL LOVE SCOUT. Scout has always been a supporter of all things
awesome and making SR a better place overall. I have a ton of admiration
for him. Without a doubt I'm one of the biggest scout fans on SR. +1
karma (Although I'll just have to right it down on a piece of paper on
my desk until I am able to actually give karma)
Let's quit having
this conversation and talk about coupons or speculate about the new
listing or something funner. All this CIC talk is bad for business, and
unnecessary when it gets this theoretical. We got hurt bad enough this
week, it's time to turn things around and head into the future.

I just relieved the following message from SR Support:
"ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD: You officially now have the only listing on SilkRoad where
people can purchase it, then the next week the value of bitcoins can
QUADRUPLE and people still say "Damn, I'm glad I made that purchase!""
I'm
just kidding, SR Support didn't really say that, but none the less it's
the truth. You not only make your money back, but you make it back
exponentially much faster than the rate bitcoins have been going up. If
you want to make a smart investment, invest your money in coupons before
investing in bitcoins. It's projected to pay out much higher this year.

had one day when we were really high and thinking about "Hmmm, if we
were the CIC then how would we catch us?" As far as whether he had any
opinions on To Tor or Not To Tor... well scout knows his history better
than I do. I'd say it's a lock to put your money on scout.
And
honestly, in a sober state, I realize the CIC is obviously NOT
interested in SR users even if they are aware of SR and PL/GL. Now if
they are aware of this operation, then are they interested in me? I'd
think so.
I have reason to believe the CIC has no idea what
SilkRoad is and have never heard of us. I strongly believe that but this
is not the place to have such kind of discussions. It's all
hypothetical and if a real threat ever exists I'll be the first one to
come on here and report it. For now, all is good in Coupon-land.
One
question, I'm curious, Scout have you ever purchased and or get gifted
any of PurpleLotus's coupons? I know he was the type of dude to just
give things away to someone like yourself. If you say no, I am afraid I
have to kick you out of this thread, as it's for customers only! HAHAHA
JK WE ALL LOVE SCOUT. Scout has always been a supporter of all things
awesome and making SR a better place overall. I have a ton of admiration
for him. Without a doubt I'm one of the biggest scout fans on SR. +1
karma (Although I'll just have to right it down on a piece of paper on
my desk until I am able to actually give karma)
Let's quit having
this conversation and talk about coupons or speculate about the new
listing or something funner. All this CIC talk is bad for business, and
unnecessary when it gets this theoretical. We got hurt bad enough this
week, it's time to turn things around and head into the future.
GoldenLotus
GL you're killing me with that grammar. :P
I just relieved the following message from SR Support:
"ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD: You officially now have the only listing on SilkRoad where
people can purchase it, then the next week the value of bitcoins can
QUADRUPLE and people still say "Damn, I'm glad I made that purchase!""
I'm
just kidding, SR Support didn't really say that, but none the less it's
the truth. You not only make your money back, but you make it back
exponentially much faster than the rate bitcoins have been going up. If
you want to make a smart investment, invest your money in coupons before
investing in bitcoins. It's projected to pay out much higher this year.
Why can't you just tell us what it is already? ;D ;D ;D
-
Some
douche name Mangoes is trying to buy the coupons and wants them up
front of course. Too bad, almost got some beer money for GL from a
douche bag. Of course he offers more than the cost of them hoping to
play on greed but he wants the coupons first.lol GEEZ!!!
Take the deal. :P
There's always somebody out there wanting to scam.
-
I
am no longer saying anything - didn't realize what I was walking into
when I tried to pass along what I'm sure PL himself would have said!
I
hope you are not referring to me Scout. my question was an honest one
about how educated that organization really is about what they do.
I will still take the advice given, if you don't mind :)
Keep up the good work every1. This is definitely still the best listing on SR
-
Banged Bigndn and Turkey with good + KARMA ;)
Good Karma to all the old heads here.

So what is the lottery?
And for what great cause will the funds be used?
And how much will the listing cost once it's up?

Color
laser is the way to go for what we are printing. It makes text and
barcodes a lot more crisp. And really the paper above isn't the
only option. Just go to a print shop and do your research. There are
plenty of thin, glossy/semigloss (coated) papers that would match the
look and feel of something you clipped out of a
circular/brochure/cataloge or were sent from a manufacturer. Add a
hologram and now you are set.

The
dot raster on modern day laser printers is really for blocking the
counterfeiting of money. It's not present on most personal use printers;
it's really for tracking fake money back to large industrial-scale
printers.
With that said, you can never be too careful.

The new review thread for the Coupon Club - Submission lottery is
now created and can be found with preliminary details at
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=145738.0
We expect
to go live with full details tomorrow. Please do me a favor and devote
100% of your comments pertaining to this listing to that thread and do
not discuss the Lottery or submissions on this thread as to not confuse
new users about my real listings. The Lottery is a non profit and just
for fun listing and the money will be awarded to those who submit. Go
there for more details.

HAHA I'm going to start a listing callled "Good ideas by wraithe"
and charge 75btc for it. I'll give wraithe three whores of his choice
off backpage or backdoor or whatever site he uses for every listing that
sells... hahaha backdoor, I hope I just made that up! I'll also send
him enough viagra to keep us in business no matter how many we sell!
He's a really smart and mostly good dude, he just lacks the good looks and charisma of a Lotus.
In coupon related news,
When
is the next set of new coupons set to be released into the OC and HC?!
Friday night. When will the HC be back up for sale? Also Friday night.
When will the lessons be back up for sale? If time allows then Friday
night, but let's call it Monday morning in the event I don't put on a
LeBron James performance by Friday night. Wait, LeBron was PL's go to
guy to reference, I'm gonna go with Chris Paul from this point on.

we were not left with out a leader and I would like to welcome and thank
GoldenLotus for taking us on. I wish I knew how to give karma I would.
Also I hope its not to late be grandfathered in. Well I look forward to
being a part of this new thing. Also much thanks to PL you are truly a
stand up person. Any question problem or what not you always were there
to help thanks

I'm glad GL is bringing the lessons back. :D
You've been a busy man this week. Lottery up and running tomorrow, coupon updates the next day.
Just be sure not to lose the stamina. ::) like a lotus can lose his stamina.
Anyways.
I'll be reading on the other topic starting when I press "Post" here
and see what all the Coupon Club fuss is about. 8)
-
What is this "HC" and "OC" people keep referring to? OC is original collection, and HC is...?
-
What is this "HC" and "OC" people keep referring to? OC is original collection, and HC is...?
Hardcore collection.
It includes free gift cards and big savings on high dollar items.
I don't have the list on me, I'm sure GL or somebody has the list.
GL currently only has the OC and the Coupon Club available for purchase.
As
many people have said, save your money until you get used to using the
OC coupons because the HC takes a high amount of social engineering to
pass off as legit coupons. I haven't had much problems with the <$50
gift cards, but the higher dollar ones take some skill.
-
...
I say we need... Lays Dip coupon.
...
Sorry if this has already been covered - I'm catching up on this thread - but, will the Lay's chip coupon not work?
For
most things, if the first five significant numerals on the UPC match
(and your cashier isn't a busybody who's checking the coupon wording),
you can use the coupon for just about ANY product from that
manufacturer, in most cases at least. ;)
For example, I use
the Kraft shredded cheese coupon for sliced cheese and even Philly
Cream Cheese (also made by Kraft and has same first five UPC #'s).
Again, sorry if somebody has already addressed this.
HTH

...
Would like to see some more products. Maybe some other type of coffee, like the instant coffee (Nestle)
...
Not
sure if you've seen it (and I've never tried the product and haven't
used the coupon yet), but PL2013_9 has two Starbucks coupons, one of
them specifically for instant.
I use the hell out of the larger coupon, picking up four of the 11-12 oz packages per WM trip.
Again, sorry if this is old news.

The Mountain House freeze-dried camping food suggestion brought back
great memories of backpacking the Rockies. That stuff is delicious
beyond compare.
Really, some of the other camping brands sux (or
at least did back then) and could only be stomached because you were
exhausted and hungrier than you ever get on a normal urban day. Mountain
House, though, stands on its own and is awesome anytime.
Not
complaining about what we have now, though. The existing OC is plentiful
enough to stock my pantry better and fuller than it's ever been.
-
@AH , good looking out helping, but refrain from actual prices and
exacts on public message board as they are never exact when listed for
precautions.
On another note, yes you can use coupons for other items when they are in the same family.
e.g. Kraft cheese on maybe kraft slices or something stated for one size but will really work on the smaller yielding free.
The
issue with that though is if you have someone scrutinizing your coupons
and matching them, simply enough they won't match and they will deny
you.
You could go as far as editing the picture and words of
coupons... A simple copy/paste will give you alternatives of similar
items and sizing something we all should be fairly capable of doing .
just my .02 though.

what? I had Mountain House on my list to add to the OC, but someone
beat my ass to it! It is in fact a coupon found in the Coupon Submission
lottery! That coupon on it's own is worth the price of admission! Also I
am sorry it did not go live today, it will go live EARLY tomorrow
guaranteed! Today I planned to come home and release it, and then
received a call IRL that I could not pass up. I had no choice but to go
handle business and just walked in now, slightly tipsy, and no one wants
me releasing shit after a few drinks, so tomorrow when I wake up, it's
getting handled! Sorry for the delay, no one could have predicted this
event, not even me, but it was the kind of thing a man can't walk away

DO
NOT DO THIS unless you know what you are doing. You can only do
this when a coupon has a generic family code which not all do.
Quite frankly this is bad advice, because majority of people that know
the family codes would also already know to photoshop etc.
theres nothing wrong with saying you wanna see a Durex coupon for $3 off.

most things, if the first five significant numerals on the UPC match
(and your cashier isn't a busybody who's checking the coupon wording),
you can use the coupon for just about ANY product from that
manufacturer, in most cases at least. ;)
For example, I use
the Kraft shredded cheese coupon for sliced cheese and even Philly
Cream Cheese (also made by Kraft and has same first five UPC #'s).
Again, sorry if somebody has already addressed this.
HTH
I
agree with Wraithe here. This constitutes as fraud and couponers
actually get in serious trouble for it. You can try 1 in your stack and
it might work, it might get rejected but on a larger scale DON'T! Lotus'
coupons are worded generously enough.
The one that always gets checked for me when the cashier is "observant" is Amy's. They always say "but you didn't get a pizza"

@Kaleb you are right, I think that's why the bitch from the tv show
got locked up. I do it rarely when I can't find what's stated on the
coup and I tell them that if questions arise.
The fucked up thing is
that these policies have nothing to do with how the stores cash their
papers. They limit the consumer's use of a coupon much more than MFR
limits them, thus creating a lot more work for them, delaying customers
while they weed out a legit coupon that expired 1 week ago, for which
they can get reimbursed but accepting 10 photoshopped coupon for which
they will get 1/10 of the value if they're lucky.

Lol,
wow. I had not heard about all the "Extreme Couponing" drama until I
saw your post. That's pretty funny. I guess that's a good rule of thumb
for folks using GL's pack: don't make a major TV show about it where
you're filmed using counterfeit coupons.
-
Too who do i send or email my generated coupon too?
-
@eerva, Nice to see you learn others lessons, yes she was a DUMB
BITCH airing her crimes in national TV but at least we learn.
@Visa, pm GL I'm sure he has the answers. wish I knew how to make these :)

Do you guys think I could scan these myself at a self-checkout station?
-
Ok I went through this entire thread and also bought the OC pack and
I still have questions that I hope someone would be helpful enough to
answer:
1) By buying the OC, am I entitled to coupon updates?
2) Has anyone gotten in trouble/received any backlash from using these coupons?
3) Do I need to print these on special paper?
4)
How often do you guys/gals visit the same store with these coupons...
Basically If i use like 20 coupons in a store for one large run, should I
never show my face there again?
5) Can you go through the self-checkout with these coupons?
6) What should I expect/be ready for and anything else a newbie needs to know?
Sorry for all the questions but I do appreciate any insider help/tips
-
Do you guys think I could scan these myself at a self-checkout station?
Yep,
self checkouts work just fine. I used them a bit when I first started
with these coupons bc the live cashiers made me nervous, but now I
prefer the live person :)

Sorry for all the questions but I do appreciate any insider help/tips
1)
Yes you are entitled to all future updates, free of charge (although if
you're feeling extra appreciative, I'm sure GoldenLotus wouldn't object
to a donation ;) )
2) None of us (that has been reported) has gotten
into trouble for the use of the coupons. The most that has happened is a
rejection.
3) The OC don't need to be printed on special paper, a
lot of people even print them on black and white, I like color but
that's personal preference.
4) I have a rotation of about 4 or 5 stores I use, and won't hit the same store for about a month.
5) Self checkout works fine.
6)
Read the store's coupon policy! Sometimes you will get a jerk cashier
or manager trying to give you bs and if you bust out with your policy
knowledge- or even better- the policy itself, sometimes it will save
your purchase. Don't be afraid to be turned down, it happens to everyone
at some point.

Sorry for all the questions but I do appreciate any insider help/tips
1)Yes according to ancient Lotus tradition each listing purchased gets access to updates for that listing.
2)Not
that we know off. Highly unlikely if you follow protocol and
commonsense but if something serious were to happen to you, I doubt you
would post it here.
3)You do not NEED to. some get fancy with
magazine style paper but it is not necessary for OC IMO. For HC, people
on here can write a book about their elaborations, others just do plain
b&w and pull it off.
4)Rule of thumb here is a minimum of 2 weeks between visits. alternate stores as much as you can so you don't get bored :)
5)Yes
but some places limit their machines, in which case you will need
override for multiple coupons. try 1 or 2 in SC but live cashier is
always better
6)Be ready for a whole lot of fun (maybe even save some
money, I forget LOL) but do your homework first. research stores'
coupon policy, start off slow, 2-3 coupons to get comfortable. double
check the first 5 and pick a chill cashier

Edit:
2 more things: Shop Mom&Pop, coupon @ corporate. don't screw over
the little guy :) and if you happen to buy more than you can use, and it
is easy to get there on a coupon high (I hear) give to the needy. too
many poor in this country and we have a magical thing going atm. pay it
forward
-
+1 lulz and your nimble fingers LOL
a month between visits is much better
-
Do you guys think I could scan these myself at a self-checkout station?
I
try to use the self checkout whenever possible. What I have noticed
though is that some stores don't have GS1 decoders at the self checkout
(that's the nontraditional long barcode on the right of most coupons) so
I cannot use some of the coups at these stores.
I've had no problem at Walmart self checkout.
If
you purchase the HC you cannot use most of them at self checkout
because most of them are gift cards and need to be activated at the
register, and for the ones over $50 you'll need manager approval anyways
(depending on store policy).

Plain
old paper will work and B&W or color is fine. It all depends on
what you are comfortable with and how far you want to take it. Many of
us use black & white all the time with no problems. Some go full
color and even holograms. It's all about how you want to do it but it
all works. When it comes to using them don't go to the same store days
in a row. Once a week is probably the minimum I would go but remember
the longer in between trips generally means the safer you are. Again,
there are many opinions on this but it's all about how comfortable you
are. I know going too often is bound to get you questioned but that's a
rarity if you maintain a good schedule.
Basically this is a
pretty simple deal and relatively easy to execute. There also has been
little to no repercussions, aside from some questioning, that go along
with using them. At most they might ask where you got them from and you
can either come up with something creative or give the old "I got them
from filling out a survey" line. There probably won't be any more than
that associated with the OC and at worst they say they can't accept them
and you leave them with a cart full of shit to put away. Grab the
coupons and bail. Keep in mind that even that is rare, these are pretty
safe as long as you use your head with them.
Welcome to the club
and enjoy yourself. You've just greatly increased your quality of
life whether you realized it or not. :)

I was actually wondering the same thing myself.

Thanks for the +1 Visa, you'll be on my list too as soon as I can
give it in return. I will try to get a Coppertone made and tested this
weekend and let you know how it goes, or since I usually get pretty busy
on weekends I can just make it and you can test it out if you want.
Either way works for me, I'll do my best.
KitKat is still
around.. username is now KitKatisBoredNow, I saw a thread she made about
contacting SR Support regarding PurpleLotus.

I finally have enough posts to become a member of this forum!! I've
been lurking for almost 3 weeks now. The OC was the first purchase I
made on SR and so far, in 3 Wal-Mart runs, I've saved $297.93 while
paying only $98.64. I'm pretty friendly so my first run I decided to go
big and came home with $151.97 worth of groceries for $42.40! Can't wait
for the HC to be re-released. Shopping becomes addicting and you feel
like the man when you just give stuff away.

OmG I love you all. Sick mutha fuckas hahahhahahahha

Just a quick announcement and my apologizes. I was a day late on the
Lottery release and also I regret to admit I won't be done with these
new additions to the OC and HC until Sunday. Sorry guys, but I'm trying
to cover as many of the requests as possible while unplanned things keep
slowing me down.
Also just released 10 new coupons into the
Submission Lottery Collection. I won't always make announcements here
about it here, but since it's release day I will. Please subscribe to

Update: Target has seemed to be much more lax about coupons and
don't even look at them. They try to scan them and if they go through,
there's never a problem. I even got them to give me $10 cash because one
itunes coupon rang up as $10 and the other on $0.10. The manager looked
at the receipt from moments earlier and then pulled a $10 from the
register!
And since I can't give karma yet, I just wanted to
mention Turkey for Breakfast has basically walked me through the coupon
system, where good stores are to use them at, he gave me a coupon for
free mcdonalds which has been wildly successful from what I hear. He
also showed me how to get to tormail. The basics that I'm sure all of
you veterans have forgotten about having to learn in the beginning.
+2344958379 karma to him if I could give it.

Breakfast has basically walked me through the coupon system, where good
stores are to use them at, he gave me a coupon for free mcdonalds which
has been wildly successful from what I hear. He also showed me how to
get to tormail. The basics that I'm sure all of you veterans have
forgotten about having to learn in the beginning. +2344958379 karma to

Let me know if the McDonald's coupon works for you. I haven't had the chance to try it yet. TFB is the man.

Update:
Target has seemed to be much more lax about coupons and don't even look
at them. They try to scan them and if they go through, there's never a
problem. I even got them to give me $10 cash because one itunes coupon
rang up as $10 and the other on $0.10. The manager looked at the receipt
from moments earlier and then pulled a $10 from the register!

I
fucking love Target! WM is cheaper but then they have that pesky $50
savings limit before a manager has to come by and use their key. Target
is a bit more expensive but I can save all I want w/o manager
intervention.

Just
got back from Tarjey with our first Lottery Coupon Run ... not a big
one just wanted to test the waters... LOL - I should know better -
everything worked wonders including the Coppertone ----- Thanks
ForTehLulz - Found a product with the UPC code and it worked fine -
didnt try one with the (Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Lotion Spf 100 Plus) 6
digit code but probably will tomorrow.
0 418871 9
^ ^
Also did Laundry Detergent, Snuggle, Razors, Lotion, dish soap and coffee.
Like
I said should have never doubted that this would continue to be one of
the most profitable threads around...... thank you all for continuing a
true legendary work....
Total Savings $52.00 - with a 45 min trip to the store!!!!!
Not a problem, Visa! Glad to hear you had a good trip & that the cpn worked out for ya.

I
can't wait for the HC to be re-released! PL gave me the kindle fire
coupon as a trial before he left. I just got some holograms in so I'm
going to go try it now. I also created an amazon watermark pattern for
the back of the coupon that i printed on semi-gloss paper. Ill report
back when I return. I am in love with this community.

So an interesting story. I gave a bunch of coupons to my sister and
yesterday she went to Traget. Was using about 10 coupons plus some real
coupons from the paper and a bunch of stuff with no coupons. The old
lady that was ringing up the stuff started to look at every coupon and
putting them to the side. Then she tried to scan the Tide coupon and it
would not. (I think she grabbed some new tide with a new SKU) anyways,
she calls over a manager and he starts looking at the coupons and
started to talk all this crap "Whaaat they don't make them that big,
what is this" but keeps scanning them, then tries to call someone on the
radio 2 times but they would not answer. Then he tells the cashier to
make a copy of all the coupons and a copy of the receipt. But they did
take all of them. My sister almost crapped her pants haha. Told her not
to go back to that one for a while. This was her only 2nd run.
As
for me, decided to do more of the HC run with my buddy. Did not have
much time, but scored some stuff. Got an Express 25 gift card, applebees
25 card, Xbox Wireless headset and the War of Warcraft 60 day prepaid
card. No Luck on the 100 Visas this time.
We also checked out
Staples and office Depot and they were willing to take the red lobster,
Starbucks, subway coupons, but the SKU are all different. They use the
76750 or something like that SKU.
-
Thanks for sharing :)
Your sister shouldn't use coupons in that
store for a while (was the manager close to retiring? LOL) after a
while, just avoid that cashier.
I don't care how flawless they are,
it is better to build confidence because for the first couple of times
most of us send out some serious shady vibes (subconsciously). That's my
opinion.
The tide and maybe 2 more have been flagged by that chain.
good news is, for some reason it does NOT apply to the GS1 (longer
barcode)
HC: If you read back, or just browse enough stores, you will
see there are certain chains that only order from the slightly less
common batch (the number you mention). It's rare but it can also differ
within a chain so feel free to check out other locations.
There is also an emerging 3rd batch (61xxx or something) but they are still rare to find, others exist but are harder still
So I hear
-
We need to start having more cashier profiling discussions. I'm
scary good at it. It's probably my best personal skill when using
coupons.
Pro tip - if the cashier looks like there is any chance
in the world he/she might have worked there for more than 5 years, skip
to the next one. Cashier Lifers are the people who spend their entire
life working at Walmart (or any store) and these people tend to take
their job very seriously and also have been around to see just about
everything. Look for someone who looks like he or she is going to have
multiple W2s to turn in at the end of the year. No, of course they won't
get fired for accepting the coupons, they are just doing their job, but
you know what I mean.

In off coupon related news,
between the setbacks of last week and the bitcoin value crash this week,
business has slowed tremendously on my original collection. I will have
the HC collection and the coupon making lessons both relisted soon, but

and check us out.
@m3bimmer: Remove that post. You already gave
me the list and I already told you I got all of them I could find in my
stores. You posted it on the Submission Lottery thread already which
means someone might end up making something I already made. I'm pushing
for the release of the new additions tonight and it looks promising but
it might not be 100% of the requests. Regardless this is not the thread
to post that on. Post suggestions that you want to see in the additions,
but don't repost something I already have. You should be feeling a lot
better when you see my new additions later tonight.

First
mistake was going to an old lady, always always always go for a
teenager. I had my biggest trip yet last weekend, I took my kids (2 and
4) with and went to a HS aged girl. That shit was like cheating, she
barely even looked at the coupons, took every single one, no problems.
Now,
the bitch I went to at Walmart on Friday, different story, she was
maybe mid 20's, hispanic, and refused my Clif bar coupons, telling me
they weren't working (she lied, they rang up fine, I could see where she
rang them in and then removed them on my receipt). That being said, I
did get $35-40 worth of coupons through her, so if she wants to refuse 2
of them to make herself feel better she can go right ahead. To make
this trip even more nerve-wracking, I had nosy ass big momma behind me
in line going "yo I need to get me somma them coupons, where you got
them at?" Standard answer: blame the wife and the internet, "I have no
idea, my wife gets them on the internet, she does all kinds of surveys
and shit"

i
just tried the Kindle coupon at bestbuy. got denied even with the
hologram sticker. It also scanned incorrectly. oh well. i'll try my luck
when i get the whole HC pack.
When you did your HC run, did you
go to the register with all the gift cards at the same time? did you
use the survey story for all of them? that looks like a successful run
to me but i feel like i would get scared to try more than one GC if my
only excuse was filling out surveys online.
-
tangojuliet: sorry to hear about your problwem with the Kindle. Did
you happen to notice I amde two different Kindle coupons with different
UPCs? It seems some of us had one UPC in our area while others had
another. Not sure if still even more exist out there, but make sure you
are using the correct one for the store you are going to. You will have
to find the actual Kindle which in my area is in a cage but I can still
usually pick out a UPC. Make sure the first series of 5 digits of the
coupon UPC match the first series of 5 ion the product UPC. You'll find
two different UPC combos I made. Possibly this will help you out.

We
only do 1 gift card per store, my friend is a good talker and bullshits
his way. Last week at one CVS a sales person would not take it, so He
quoted the coupon policy that they have to scan it etc etc, and they did
and gave him the $100 gift card. Thinking of taking a couple of days
off work so we can drive around and try to score more stuff.
-
I thought CVS coupon policy was that they won't accept coupons for
free items. Does paying the sales tax make the item qualify as a
purchase and not free? Your friend must be one hell of a talker.
-
Today's Run:
Walmart - Groceries - $120 before coupons, $36 after coupons
Target - xBox Controller - $50 before coupon, $15 after coupon
Walgreens - $50 Visa Gift Card, $4.95 w/coupons
CVS - $100 Visa Gift Card, $5.95 w/coupons
I'd say it was a good day. Thanks GL.
Also,
does anyone know a good way to convert these visa gift cards into
bitcoins? The best technique I've found so far is paying myself thru
paypal using the giftcards and then withdrawing it as cash. Is there any
way to buy bitcoins directly with the gift cards?
-
limit: Don't believe everything a manager tells you at the store.
They are just as likely to lie as we are, probably even more so. I've
hard all kinds of stuff and I've learned they will just say whatever
they think will get you to leave quietly. I've never had an issue at CVS
besides the occasional "No" on HC coupons. I guess I better get the HC
coupons listed quickly so new viewers have some kind of clue what we are
talking about.
@HEATFan: Don't go too hard with the VISAs and
your Paypal account. As far as I know there is no way to buy BTC with
those giftcards. IMO, go spend that money ASAP! Save your other funds
for BTC, but those cards need to get spent up asap and not put into your
PP account.
-
I have been wondering the same thing, what is the most effective way
of converting them over to BTC? I know that gift cards are run as
credit at POS terminals, could they be used as a credit card on a BTC
site that doesn't require 8 forms of ID and a sperm sample? Maybe
there's a vendor that would exchange BTC for GC's? I think GL said
before to use them ASAP after getting them before.

@GL I was referring to an earlier post about an email as well as a
sign in the CVS in my area by the registers. I never shop there
anyway with all the wall-drugs and rite-nows around, so it doesn't
really bother me. 8) I was just pleasantly suprised by someone
else's success. :o
@HEATFAN- I'd be leery of doing anything that
would link me to the GC after the fact, like transferring to an acct.
with my name on it. Different strokes for different folks i
guess. I know that with the $50 card running as a credit card you
can get cash back at most stores, then use moneygram to make a BTC
deposit. Thats what I've been doing, but I'm always looking for an
easier way. I go to one store, get a fifty $ GC, go to the next
one and make an OC purchase(or ten) and then withdraw the
balance(usually $40). But I only go to stores out of my local
area. No reason to shit in ones own backyard.

Interesting
you mention pawn shops, I just remembered that most check cashing
stores and payday loan places in my area(CST) also buy gift cards, but
they only give you like 50-60% of its value. How much of a fee do
the pawn stores charge? I know Pawnamerica is a national chain,
but i don't know if they do gift cards. Maybe SR needs a GC fence,
lol.

Anyone use one of those e-cigarette style oil vaporizers? I've been
wanting to pick one up. Do head shops accept coupons? :o

have consider starting a GC fencing operation on SR. People would be
happy to conduct that through me if no one else steps up to the plate.
I'll look into it in a few weeks if no one has claimed the market and I
finally get myself established to the point that I can take a breathe
for the first time since I started GoldenLotus. It sounds like a risky
operation to run on SR, but I think I'd be the man with the least to
lose. Wouldn't make much sense to rip me off for $50 when I'm just going
to blacklist you and then you'll have to start a new account and pay me
again for my listings. Everyone interested would already be a customer
of mine so I think I could make it work well.

Thank
you both for the concern, I do appreciate it and there is always
something to learn. I've evaluated this a little bit already. My
reasoning is that those GC's could be purchased by anyone after the
fraudulent coupon purchase. I could always claim innocence and say I
bought the cards from someone on craigslist. I have no real liability
but I agree that if I was doing this in larger sums (1k+) then I'd need
to look into more anonymous options.
The other thing I've been
able to do with them is obviously spending them for daily needs. Gas,
groceries, etc. I used the Visa GC to pay for my groceries at Walmart
today (after using the coupons) so effectively I got paid $12 to buy
$120 worth of groceries. On top of this I got another $100 visa.... this
shit should be illegal.... oh wait...

So now here is another great question: Who has the best dabs on SR?
That
question would have a lot of different answers from a lot of different
people. it's like asking what your favorite strain is.
People like different things, but in terms of purity IMO I would go with
shatter. Some people say you want high THC/CBD content, but it is the
terpenes that define the type of "high" you have, whether it be couch
lock or an energetic buzz that makes you paint your house a different
color. Honestly, better product is made from better material, so
the better herbs, the better the concentrate. Best stuff I ever
had was made from Shiva Shanti and White Widow dry ice extracted
hash.

Is there a way to test the coupons bar codes

You
can use a coupon scanning app depending on the phone you have. I use
coupon scan on ios but you could use any one, just go to your phones app
store and search barcode scanner. You need not worry because they all
scan fine.
-
Thank you MordoandRigs and HEATFan.
I got an app and I'm
going through my copies now. All have scanned fine. I just feel bad for
the poor lad at Walmart who tried scanning them for 10 min. OH well!
good times :)

Coupon Decoder is the iTunes app, but Android has a bunch of free
apps that will scan for a successful scan and you'll know it's scanning
with no issues, but it won't decode all the information for you like
Coupon Decoder will.

Can't wait to use them, good work bud. The only omission that I can
think of that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is some Pepto Bismol or
Gas-X.
-
I love how (if all of you remember how many other threads and pages
and pages of reviews we have had) that we seemed destined to break more
pages than contained in the Bible.

Thank you for the new coupons GL!!!!
On a side note. Now that I have the scanner it is 100% a printer issue. Seems it maybe time for a new printer.
Thank you for everyone's help!

Take
a pic of your coupons (The 3 per page ones) and upload it and send it
to me via PM. I'll see what looks wrong with it. Clear pic please. Use
imgur for upload (scrubs exif data).

I sent you a PM on water...

8) New coupons are now LIVE in the OC. Got some Lottery
entries to sort through and upload too, but have not had the time quite
yet.
I should make some kind of prize for the first person to get all of the new OC coupons onto one receipt.

If you are having any issues with a certain file, just redownload
it. Tor downloads can act up and corrupt a file every now and then, but a
simple retry will fix you up,
Can't wait to here what everyone thinks and how the first wave of trips goes!
I
just had the best set of flashbacks... Who remembers Christmas 2012
around here? I can't wait to see what Christmas 2013 will be like. In
2011, I had to take out loans just to get everyone gifts. In 2012, we
had the best Christmas ever. Paid those loans off, had presents for
everyone that I didn't even have to pay for 90% of them.
Oh
shit, we are a week away from 420! Hmm, do I have anything up my sleeve I
can pull? Am I at 100 posts yet? I'm ready to go through the pages
spamming +1s.

8) It's nice to see my dude over here doing good things with
the Lotus name! Keep up the good work my brother. I'm just dropping in
to give you all some motivation, KEEP PUSHING! Oh, and unlike my
counterpart GoldenLotus, I actually can give +1s still! Let's do this.
Shoutout to some of the best vendors I ever met in my life...
420blindman: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/bc73c406d1
He
doesn't seem to have any active listings, but when his listings are up
you won't find a better dude with better bud! He doesn't sell a listing
that I don't immediately want to buy. Hope to see him pop back up soon.
FarmGuy: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/8117dd9cee
He
might not be very active on the forums, but without a doubt he is one
of the best around. Another vendor who lives up to the standard of being
one of the greats on SilkRoad.
Blueveil: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/6b054e104e
Another one with no active listings. Where are all the great vendors going? Make sure you become a fan of this dude.
Speaking
of great vendors. I'm going to pour out the rest of my cup for
CaptainMal. Don't know where he went, but without a doubt that's one of
the realest dudes I ever met in my life.

sorry to hear about your problwem with the Kindle. Did you happen to
notice I amde two different Kindle coupons with different UPCs? It seems
some of us had one UPC in our area while others had another. Not sure
if still even more exist out there, but make sure you are using the
correct one for the store you are going to. You will have to find the
actual Kindle which in my area is in a cage but I can still usually pick
out a UPC. Make sure the first series of 5 digits of the coupon UPC
match the first series of 5 ion the product UPC. You'll find two
different UPC combos I made. Possibly this will help you out.
GL
i
used the one with the correct upc :( know of anywhere else that carries
them? i'm really excited to just try something that is carried at both
walmart and target. i heard kmart was good but unfortunately the one
closest to me was recently shut down (for reasons other than coupons i'm
sure)

$3.00 off Chobani Yogurt 16 oz. (finally)
Sweet. I've been waiting for this one. :D

You've never heard of The Cult Of The Lotus?
@GL-I got the links to work, I think we were all just d'l at the same time. :)
@PL-Now
that I can finally post on a real board, THANK YOU FOR BEING THE
BEGINNING OF A WONDERFUL HELP TO A DISADVANTAGED FAMILY, AND THANK YOU
FOR CHOOSING A MORE THAN WORTHY REPLACEMENT. You guys make the
world a better place for everyone but the insurance companies. F@#$
insurance, they never paid when I got hurt.

maybe
the prize is a lottery entry?? anyways sounds fun so i collected all of
the new coups into one folder. can't seem to find the jose ole one.
anyone else having the same problem?
-
It appears to have been removed, for the moment at least. I didn't get it either.
-
No it wasn't removed, rather it was left out on accident. Turns out
the file is messed up, so I will get it reloaded tomorrow.

Thank
you for the kind words!! I'm still around, just sharing vending duties
these days with SativaSally, my partner. When my listings are down,
please check her's. Now I get to be in the garden more often! My two all
time favorite hobbies, growing and couponing.
The gift card
coupons have been excellent in my area. Still able to hit Walmart self
check out with 2 $25 GCs at one time, no CSM needed. Usually run 2
transactions, if it's kinda busy, so I walk out with $100. Thanks PL!!!
Looking forward to the Lottery, another awesome idea from the Lotus
family.
Does anyone else feel like Robin Hood? I do when I give a
hand full of coupons to my friends and family, and they return and are
gushing about how much money the saved.
-
Has anyone seen a coupon for Grey Poupon? I thought I saw one from
awhile back, but can't find it. Love that shit in my tater salad....
-
I was wondering when you would be listing shake again.
I'll
make a custom coupon for any product and any amount to anyone who places
an order with SativaSally this week. Place an order with her and then
send me a message with the details of your coupon request and I will
have it finished in less than 24 hours for you. Anyone selling
420blindman's products is someone you can trust the same way you did me
when I started selling PurpleLotus products. I can't make any promises,
but if history taught us anything it was that coupon community members
always got a little extra weed in their order too.

SativaSally has some posted now, just check her listings. And we
will continue to ship TWO FREE GRAMS when mentioning the Lotus family in
your order, instead of the standard one free gram that all customers
receive. Gotta keep paying it forward!!!

I LOVE the new additions, are more coming in the lottery?(you mentioned

apparently. ;) Thanks for helping me out, can't wait to get
started later today!!! Looking forward to being an active part of
the community!

Back to the subject of the thread, do any of you guys resize the OC
collection? Is there any certain formats that you prefer
when making certain ones? I noticed the fine writing seems more
blurry when I make them smaller now, is this due to the update or do I
need a new printer?
-
I think I'm gonna work on making a coupon for a new printer.
Been using a good photo printer, think I may upgrade to laser.
Anyone recommend any brands besides HP?

Hi guys and Gals,
So this looks really interesting. I
was laid off some time ago and its been a real fight to try and keep the
family afloat ...
I can't wait to buy the OC pack as soon as I
can scrap up the funds to do so. So far all I have used the road for was
making buys for other people and making just a little bit over the fees
to buy a few extras for the kids.
I do have some questions in the mean time..
1. How hard is the "use cash" rule?
2. Has anyone used these at publix?
as
it sounds in this thread ( I read all 22 pages) Target seems to be one
of the top places for this.. and walmart a close 2nd..
I would
love all the insight you guys can offer.. I'm just trying to find away
to keep the family going.. My other half and I should have some shrooms
coming up soon and I know that will help the bottom line but every penny
counts so much..
Thanks in advance!

you
want to use cash to be safe. they could possibly charge back your card.
I think I remember someone posting that happened to them in another
thread.

I
think chargeback would be a rare thing. I would be more concerned
with a history. same card used, same coupons, wouldnt take much
to see a pattern. I dont think they could legally chargeback.
-
I really only ask about the card / cash thing as my sister has
food stamps and kicking her some coupons would help her out too.. I
just did not want to get her in trouble just trying to help.. ;)
-
i've gotten stuck without cash before just due to my spaciness and
have used a card on a few isolated occasions. only once did i
notice that a charge from walmart seemed to be more than it should have
been, but i couldn't find the receipt to confirm or disconfirm that
suspicion.
it seems to me that with the really big companies like
walmart and target, things are so compartmentalized that the cashiers
and CSMs likely have no connection to these coupons once they're sent
out from the store. one of the CSMs at the local walmart know my
wife and I as the 'mad couponers'. we've been using these coupons
(OC) at this walmart for over 4 months now and no one has given us any
guff at all.
-
That's really great to hear ARG thank you for that.. :D +1 when I can!

Just
a question for whoever may be out there, would you really want to be
known as a "coupon" guy or gal when it comes to the OC? I know
with the HC the tendency is to be as low key as possible, and I think GL
or PL posted previously that it was something you didn't want to
do. i may be wrong about that, I'm just seeking clarification.

Chances
are, it would not be a big deal. But there is no reason or value in
having a high profile. Best to keep your name and face off their radar
as best you can so you can keep it going for as long as possible.
Forever if you can!

really only ask about the card / cash thing as my sister has food
stamps and kicking her some coupons would help her out too.. I just did
not want to get her in trouble just trying to help.. ;)
using
a foodstamp card i would recommend her making 2 purchases. one
for coupon related things and another for non coupon. if anyone
asks her she can tell them it is because her card is monitored and she
does not want them to justify/lower her benefits due to the amount of
food she receives for mad couponing. bullshit but a cashier would
believe it. she is atleast covered this way.

For

in case. Try to spread it out. Specially for the HC stuff.

I
try to use cash as much as possible but I have used my personal card a
few times. I don't think it's a huge deal since this is the only illegal
thing I do from time to time, besides the occasional Roll or Trip.
These
coupons work GREAT at Publix! Especially with their weekly BOGO offers,
assuming the cashier is dumb enough to not notice. Example: Sabra
Hummus, got two for $3 minus $2.50 from the coupoun.
Stay away
from the registers with the customer service desk in view. Something
tells me that if a manager saw a huge stack of coupons being scanned in
perfect view it would raise flags. Also funny story:
Wanted some
crest white strips, $20 off coupon, and when I went down the appropriate
aisle I found a "See Customer Service Desk" notice. I go up the desk,
pick the right white strips, and then show her the coupon. She takes a
hard look at it and then disappears into the back room. 10 minutes later
comes out, apologizes, and goes into a different backroom, comes back 5
minutes later. I pretend to be a little pissed off about the wait. She
tells me that they had to verify the coupon and it checked out. It scans
perfectly, I attempt to pay with my card...insufficient funds.
I was broke because I had been couponing waaay too much my first week. :D

I
gave some to my roommate last night and he saved about $100 his first
trip. Gave them to another friend and she saved $40 her first time. I
told my roommate that the coupons are for the products in a different
region which happen to be priced higher which is why the coupon amounts
seem high. Logical enough for him and he's an engineering major (its
partially true, items in different regions are priced differently). I
told my female friend that they were non-manufacturer manufacturer
coupons (i hate to use the word fake because they are very much real)
and she went kinda easy with them. If you give them to your sister or
anyone else, try using the different region excuse. It'll keep them in
the dark and they can legitimately claim ignorance. Plus it'll save them
from having to act if they think they're real.
Also, let us know
when you get those shrooms up! I've been researching some shroom
vendors on SR but they seem to come and go so its hard to find a
trustworthy vendor.

yeah
as a point i like to avoid that sort of thing, but i also would rather
exude warmth and kindness in interactions with CSMs than to be focusing
on a low profile, so this particular woman has remembered me. i do
space out my visits there, and at first i was a little uneasy with
being recognized, but it hasn't seemed to make much of a difference in
my ability to keep using the coupons there which was the point i was
trying to make. obviously we do our very best to minimize possible
exposure to what we do, but my experience has shown that there CAN be
some wiggle room, sometimes substantial wiggle room.
-
Thanks for all the great info guys!!!
Yeah keeping her
semi in the dark is a great thing.. LOL.. But I will tell her to just
use them at different times just to be safe.. good idea
great to
know that Publix has no issues with these we have TONS of them down here
as well as Target.. I try to avoid Walmart but I might do this there
since we have so many here.. LOL
And YES I will let you
guys know about the shrooms.. We are working on a small batch right now (
we just moved) and that will mostly be a sample batch I think we will
see what the weight yield is on it ..
We are working on building a
large scale set up here at the new place like we use to have at the old
place. We have so many festivals and things down here in the south its
has not been hard to move weight in the past.. But now I have SR and
that will take a better volume I think so we can go a bit larger.. It
will be a little bit but its coming guys and they are top grade yummy
too. :)

Wow - Ran into the Bullzeye on my way to work this morning to try
out some of the new releases....... Total savings $90.00! LOL
Only
issue I found was the Dawn -----> (released 4/15/2013) which
wouldn't scan not sure what the code was at that point I figured I had
saved enough but for some reason it scanned but with an error
message. Maybe Ill try a different location to make sure! CS
didn't offer to over-ride as we often get but hey $2.64 is a small
price to pay! (FUNNY, I HAVE MY OWN "Dawn coupon " Which has been
generated using PL's generator. NEVER WORKED AT NEITHER WALMART OR
TARGET)
Besides that everything was smooth sailing.....
Purex, Snuggle, Yogurt, Olive Oil, TP, Razors, Lotion, Sunblock
Coppertone and Banana Boat and Coffee oh and all in multiplies of

thank you T4B, my life has now become a little more unhealthier thanks to you
-
Had a decent day out yesterday....ive only tried a few HC with not
the best results so ive been alittle cautious to try again...got up
enough nerve and thought id try the go phone at wallyworld...grabbed a
phone and minutes and walked away with a ten from the register! grabbed
another from the wally across town and same thing! 20 in my pocket plus 2
phones! to bad i have no real need for the phone
also had a
wedding over the weekend and thanks to the OC we saved them alot on food
costs! i just wanted to say thank you for them to PL and GL and anyone
else who has helped along the way bringing this to SR ! a real game
changer (and gut changer...ive packed on 15 lbs since ive found these)
@GL...thanks for the OC updates nice cross selection of items!
also i was wondering when the HC was going to be back up on SR? are you planning a update for the HC also?
and do you plan on doing OC updates on a reg basis ?
good stuff GL thanks man

HAHA I love VISAHATE and when he announces his plus ones, but what
confuses me is when he announces on the forum that he sent me a PM. I
check my PMs first so by the time I see the post, I'm just sitting there
smacking myself in the head.
@whiteonwhite: open a vendor
account and start selling "ANONYMOUS THROW AWAY CELL PHONES!". As far as
the HC is concerned, those who own it previously see that a couple of
them have expired. I wanted to fix these before relisting it, and this
week had me jammed packed on time. I have been prioritizing things and
taking care of all the old customers and getting them back on board with
this operation was priority number one, and then the OC updates I felt
was important too, so HC updates and relisting should be coming very
soon. I will also list the Lessons soon too, but if you hit me up with a
PM you can get a custom listing for either one of them today. I just
need to work things out, including retyping the listing descriptions
which SR Support had to get rid of, but don't get me wrong, I'm a huge
fan of SR Support and have nothing but respect for them. Despite PL's
faults, SR Support is the reason we are still here right now. Thank you!
@thedude19:
It's not a big deal, we have all been guilty of it at some point. Even I
have accidentally not had enough cash and just said fuck it, but do NOT
make it a habit. Nothing bad has happened yet, so let's try to keep it
that way. lol :-p
@VISAHATE: I may redo that Dawn coupon because
it appears as if Dawn uses different UPCs very often and on different
sizes, so I think I'll remake it up like the HP ink and Kuerig K-Cup
coupon so it will work on multiple versions of their UPC.
I feel
like keeping a low profile is vital to the longevity of your ability to
use these coupons. I have been couponing at the same stores for well
over two years now. If I allow people to recognize me and start to
identify me as that guy who always comes in with the coupons as soon as I
walk through the door, then my days are limited and it's a matter of
time before a manager approaches me and says "Yeah those coupons you
use, we aren't being reimbursed for them." and then I become the guy who
is banned from using coupons at that store. So far I've done an
excellent job flying low and under the radar. We all still want to be
couponing at our favorite stores in 2014 right? No one wants to be
driving an hour just to use a coupon, while reading all of us talking
about how awesome the latest shit is.

Hey GL any updates on that 1BTC contest coupon?
And can I get in on this karma love train? About to drop this mother fuckin karma bomb all over this thread.
-
Well if anyone was in doubt, there is no doubt heatfan deserves some good karma. He is one of us for certain. +1
That
coupon was experimental and the experiment turned out to not go so
well, and unfortunately I would have loved to award the 1 BTC but it was
a failure of an experiment and at no fault of any contestants. It did
teach me some valuable lessons though which I hope to turn into valuable
options for everyone.

Word.
That's what I figured. It was definitely fun though. I think that
coupon was the most valuable coupon I ever fucked around with in terms
of helping me step my game up. I actually got one cashier to put it
through even though it definitely wasn't scanning. He just wanted to get
home and desperately try this bogus website I made up on the spot...
hahaha good times.

www.purplelotus.com works every time for me. I just say "Yeah this
dude PurpleLotus saves people tons of money all the time."

and now.. Karma BOMB for all the peeps who helped today.!!!! ;D
-
www.purplelotus.com works every time for me. I just say "Yeah this dude PurpleLotus saves people tons of money all the time."
I
should probably find a real site though because I've considered the
situation where someone takes out their smartphone to look up whatever
website I say.
Now that would be bad... and hard to recover from... "What do you mean there's no purplelotus.com??" haha
-
Holy shit you need to make a front website. Or someone does. Maybe I
will do this. That way we can send people to a website which from the
front actually looks like it offers incredible "Savings" for surveys.
And the coupon could have a verify code on it or something... hmm....
just thinking out loud here. Could make some hardcore coupons more
legit. Or it could just make them harder to pass off because there's one
more obstacle for the cashier to cross. But for the ones that are hard
to pull off it adds another layer of perceived legitimacy. What are your
thoughts?

HEATfan, this has been an idea in my head for a long time. Today I was
looking into making it happen myself despite a lack of good web design
skills, figured I could learn, but I would love to have a verification
website to put on the coupons that verifys they are real. I was thinking
of like everify.info or some shit... just rip off a real coupon
verification website and manipulate it to represent my coupon codes as
valid and host it outside of the USA by using a registration site and
host that accepts anonymous BTC payments.

Figured I'd post this for the hell of it :D
So my
buddies and I decided to go for a coupon run, (target is like 20 minutes
from my house) and we got side tracked into smoking a foot long and
some other blunts at my other buds house. By the time we got out of
there it was 9:40, 20 minutes to close. We were way to high to be making
logical decisions so we decided to go anyways. Show up at target at
9:45 with some random ass coupons. Grabbed our shit and we were the last
ones in the store. Ended up paying up $1.90 for $180 of food. HAHA!
That's what I'm talking about. We didn't stop eating that night. It
tastes so much better when it's free....and you're high. We even got a
'I'm very impressed by you boys' from the manager! She told us we need
to give her a few tips on savings!
Again, one of many successes with these coupons. Much love.
-
Fuck yeah! This i like. Lets make a donation bucket and call it
"Occupy Wall Street Coupon Verification Website" and start dropping some
bit coins and get this website going... ;)

Back
to the subject of the thread, do any of you guys resize the OC
collection? Is there any certain formats that you prefer
when making certain ones? I noticed the fine writing seems more
blurry when I make them smaller now, is this due to the update or do I
need a new printer?
YES.
I take the entire collection and unzip to a single directory. Then I
batch convert everything to PNG8 format. After this I run them all
through a program called PNGOUT.
Done properly there is zero loss of printed fidelity with a file savings of around 70 percent. This works on 95% of coupons.
For
the 5 percent that are full page, full color jpgs you can easily save
them with 50% quality in Photoshop or use an image compression program
called RIOT.
Don't hesitate on the laser. Any cheap one will do.
Be sure to get a true 4 color laser printer though. It won't match
photo quality of an inject but graphics, txt, and barcodes will be
substantially better than any inkjet unless you're printing on
photopaper.
There's a whole other set of rules for outputing PDF, which I think is better, but that is for another day. :p
-
I appreciate the hell out of Smoked for his attempts to show me a
better way, and his ideas worked great in terms of minimizing the file
sizes, but ultimately there was a loss of quality which was clearly
noticed by me. Would they have been any less effective against a
cashier? No fucking way, they would have worked awesome. The fact
remains, I can see the difference. If I can see the difference, then all
of us will too. It won't matter to a cashier, but I'll be damned if I
have my coupons looking any less sexy than they currently do. If you
print in color then you would have noticed a much larger difference, but
black and white printing you would have noticed no loss.
We won't mention it again. Take the time and download the files.

HA.
Can't argue with that! I said from the beginning if there is quality
loss then it shouldn't be done. I compress things out of hobby and
because of work so sometimes I get carried away. :P I guess asking GL to
compress his files was like asking Michelangelo to paint faster. ;) As
always, thank you GL!!! This is a great community.
Just some parting thoughts before I shut forever on the subject (it isn't that big of a deal)...
1. The loss of color fidelity came because of the conversion from PNG24 to PNG8 (reduction of colors).
2.
For zero quality loss you can still just keep them in the original
PNG24 format and *only* use PNGOUT (lossless compression) to get a
smaller size, albeit not quite as drastic as before.
Example: DawnDishLiquid.png = 2.00mb, after compression DawnDishLiquid.png = 1.5MB.
Again
not drastic, and probably not important, but for those of you at home
who want to do this just for fun I thought I'd throw it out there.
P.S. The new coupon additions were awesome!
-
Don't know about GL but Michelangelo was a champion speed painter :)

Been loving the coupons but wanted to ask about groupons...
On
clearnet sites, you can buy groupons at about ~50% off from their
initial price on the Groupon site. This effectively gives you 75%
percent off the 'original price'. When I bought these, I would pay using
paypal, and I would ALWAYS be making payment to some account with a
Chinese name. I dont think someone over in china is buying these and
then deciding to sell to recover what they spent.... especially since
the same person can have between 5-10 identical groupon certificates for
sale at a heavy discount. What gives?
Do you think it is possible to 'hack' the groupons like these people seem to be doing?

a
good scan of a groupon should be able to yield more groupons, photoshop
personal info out, change a barcode if there is one. very
feasible.
-
Brilliant!!
I wouldn't be shocked if they just used some extremely generic barcode that fits the generic restaurant/business POS.
has anyone compared a couple of groupon barcodes? experts?
-
Oh, good lord! Groupon idea seems very possible and a brilliant suggestion
-
Oh, good lord! Groupon idea seems very possible and a brilliant suggestion
I agree. This could open a whole door for us. :P
-
Can someone with some good experience using real Groupons send me a
message so I can ask a couple questions. I've seen them but never used
them. Seems like there would be several different possible angles to
this working.
-
Haven't used them myself but I'll look around. I'm down for brainstorming :)

just went and got the dove products...
and the starbucks 4pack drinks..worked fine.. went to a dollar store..lol

like centrum or one-a-day. etc.

-
I've used groupons a fair amount and my company has put up offers on
groupon. Ours were a little more expensive and for a small niche
market, so we didn't sell thousands like some of the chain businesses
for a $10 off deal might sell...not sure if all smaller businesses do
this, but they gave us a file of everyone who purchased our groupon by
name and we would just mark it off our list when it was redeemed.
When I've used them for AMC movie theaters and chain restaurants etc it
seems that a lot of the time they don't even scan them. Anyone else
notice this??

This
is a much better idea than what i printed out diaper coupons
for...Every time i go on a run, i check the diaper aisle for MILFs,
hoping that Ill find one looking at diapers in which case I'll approach
them and be like "i have these coupons, i thought they were a good deal
and i hated to see them go to waste so i cut them out anyways". Hoping
it'll lead to me being able to mark off MILF from my bucket list. I cut
them out and put them in my binder under a tab called "milf bait". hope
yall think its as funny as i do. especially when i'm stoned.
lol anywho, imaginary +1 (still cant wait to give actual +1s) to you for your generous heart.

Imaginary
+1 to both of you! When I go on big runs, I usually do more than 2 and
dedicate one of those trips to donations. I get a cart full of stuff and
go drop it off at the local township, they get so happy! It feels
awesome to help others, especially when it's so easy to do.
-
All of you are saints. The diaper coupons and all the baby items are
incredible life savers! Anyone who can use what we have here to donate
to good causes is making the world a better place and further justifying
how wonderful our community is! I love you guys!
-
I donated a bunch of lighters to my stoner friends. Does that count?

I finally got tired of lurking and made it to 50.
Just want to thank both of the Lotus' for their hard work, as well as everyone who submitted a coupon for the lottery!
I can say with confidence that this is the best purchase I've made in a very long time. ;D

I am really confused. ???
@GL- Has the OC been reuploaded without compression? (crosses fingers)
@all- Has anyone gotten the Forceflex bags to work? I got messages at K-mart, Wal-Mart, and Tarjey stating it was invalid.
-
Have they tried both barcodes? that usually solves it.
Has anyone had the 10 off itunes scan as $0.10?

Had a shit day today, went to the local FOOD ONLY walmart which are
much smaller than super walmarts with about 6 registers. Went in to get 4
food items, pissed off everyone in line because the cashier upon
looking at the coupons went straight to the manager. Waited a LONG time
to finally talk to her. Basically said starting on the 14th they can't
take manufacturer coupons. I gave the survey excuse and asked if this is
how all people who use coupons are treated? I was standing there for
nearly 15 minutes and a dude behind me was screaming at the manager "WE
HAVE JOBS AND FAMILIES! HELLLLOOOO!"
I'm going to wait a month or
two before using them in small amounts there again, to test whether or
not this "starting on the 14th" thing is true. I've unloaded about $100
worth of coupons total this past month on 4 separate trips.
In
other news, during break at work T4B's McDonalds coupon worked, however
for dinner I got turned down. But the manager said that FREE LARGE
COMBO is incorrect for my area, apparently if it said FREE LARGE VALUE
MEAL it would be acceptable LOL. why she told me that valuable info idk.
T4B u got a pm :D

That's
my biggest issue with these coupons. I'm really not nor have I ever
been a cheap bastard in my life.... so when I used the OC coupons and
handed the cashier a stack of them.... made me feel cheap. Especially
because people had to wait for each and every coupon to get scanned and
they were getting visibly annoyed. I wish the process was faster... but I
guess you can't complain when you're saving 75%+ everytime.
-

Has anyone had the 10 off itunes scan as $0.10?
i
had two in my cart at target. one scanned as $10 and the other scanned
as $0.10. feeling stoned and ballsy so i told the manager about it and
he handed me a $10 from the register.

gave me a good laugh. But seriously its not a bad idea. If I was
approached in a store that way, I think I would be a lot more
receptive to that than just cheesy bullshit flirting.
-
I tried the glad bags @ Tarjey also but didn't work. Its actually
the only 1 that hasn't worked for me. I have not tried any of the gc
coupons but have scanned them with an app. On itunes one bar code scans
at 10$ off and the other @ .10 I also noticed the visa gift cards
scan with something like cashier intervention/approval?
-
Where is the mcdonalds coupon?
-
After 1 month of use, I've managed to save right around $400 from
the OC, weaseled 4 $50 VISAS, and also made a steady profit selling cigs
by the singles at parties 8)
So far, I've had one incident
at a local grocery chain (Food Lion to be exact) where they caught on
to my shenanigans. No legal trouble, just told me the manager couldn't
accept them. It was a letdown for sure, but I've switched to Walmart and
Target full time now so there shouldn't be anymore trouble. Just
something to look out for at your smaller stores.
One coupon I have to ask about is the Hungry Man frozen dinners. Has anyone else had any troubles getting these to work?
Good +KARMA for you brother. Welcome! :)
Thanks! As soon as get my posts up I'll give back to the thread lol
-
Where is the mcdonalds coupon?
I don't think it was a published coupon, just one a member of the community was passing around.

So I was going to BUY the OC today.. Got my deposit in this morning
(making and order for some friends) I log in to check my funds and place
my orders AND my deposit is $53.54 usd SHORT! I put in
$333.99 there is the ZipZap fee, the 3.99% bitinstant fee and that
should have netted $316.833 USD WELL it only came in at $263.23!!
:'( >:(
I DON'T understand this a bit!! Now I can't buy
my coupon pack :'( and I have to wait and try and scrap up funds
to do it AGAIN!
I'm NOT giving up on this.. I really think it
will help my family... **Plop** Kitten is staying here.. **POUT** I'm
going to learn all I can from you guys in the mean time I guess.. :(

I'll have to warn my fellow MILFs about you. Chicks before dicks and all that. ;)
Though you did give me imaginary karma so...

I finally got tired of lurking and made it to 50.
Just want to thank both of the Lotus' for their hard work, as well as everyone who submitted a coupon for the lottery!
I can say with confidence that this is the best purchase I've made in a very long time. ;D
Same here and welcome.
Also,
GL you might want to start a GL newbie review/discussion thread. That's
how I found out about PL and wouldn't be here otherwise.

So I go to the store last night for a little HC action and got
denied on a $50 visa because the store claimed to not accept mfg.
internet coupons even though it doesn't say internet on the damn coupon
or full page ad. That was the 4th store to tell me that so it got
me thinking(necessity is the mother of all shenanigans), that maybe I
just needed to disprove the internet claim. ***Solution- Graphics
editing program. Scan the full page Visa coupon into your computer
in color, and then cut out the name(with cut/paste) of the company who
issued it.(I won't say the name on here, if you have the HC you know
what I'm talking about) Then take this name/logo and save it to a
separate file as a graphic image. Most programs have templates
that allow you to make ENVELOPES. (If you can't find a graphics
program, PM me and if I can figure out how to make an upload site I'll
help you out. I have a lot of programs I'd be willing to share
with the community just for the sake of sharing, though most can be
torrented and cracked if you know how. ***NOTE: I am not offering
coupon programs, I was talking about Print Shop and Adobe CS6. If
you want coops, GL is your man.) Now, take the image and
place it on the envelope in the return area in the top left corner, add
in the address info of the company to the envelope from the
clearnet. Feel free to add whatever info for a mailing
address. No need to mail it, just seal the envelope and tear it so
you rip off the corner where the stamp or postmark would have
been. (The cashiers never checked anything on the envelope,
they just saw I had it with the logo on the front and accepted the
coupon after cutting it off the full page ad.) Gave em the CC
story about how I got two free nights at a hotel and the gift card but
it didn't really make much difference since I gotta make $1500 in
purchases. I got it to pass at EVERY STORE THAT TURNED ME
DOWN!!! Even with one of the original managers. I told him I
called them and they mailed it to me. Hopefully this helps anyone
else with the full page ads that are getting turned down due to
internet coupon policy or some a$$clown manager making stuff up.
:P
-
I forgot to mention that when I took one to a store I hadn't used it
at, the store manager that came to the cashiers assistance stated he
"hadn't seen it before", but after glancing it over stated, and I quote;
"It's real, it's the same paper we send these out on, go ahead and
punch it in." He then just walked off. WINNING!!!! FYI- I
was at tarjey, and I have no idea what the hell he was talking about
that they send out.
Does anyone know?
Semi-Pro-Tip
The paper I have been using for the GC's is called premium presentation
paper 120g, matte finish with double sided printing(so you can put a
watermark or security seal on the other side, like for 360's and
foodsavers. ;) Aside from the internet coupon denying fiasco, I
haven't been turned down on any HC I have attempted. ;D
-
I will fix the Glad coupon quickly, hopefully tonight but I work late so we will see.
Limitless:
that's a really inventive idea you have and I bet it works amazing.
What makes me a little nervous about it though is that now you are
sacrificing your deniability for a higher rate of success. At the end of
the day, you always have to be able to say, "Oh this isn't real? Guess
I'm the fool." when using coupons from the HC collection. The envelope
idea is great, but then how do you explain yourself if a manager says
"We have seen this before and it's a fake."

GL:
I only plan on using them once per store in different areas, as I am
moving in 6 weeks halfway across the country. I also figured if I
did them all within 2-3 days I could pass them all off before anyone
caught on.
@GL- Did the OC get reuploaded at its original
file size since the update? I'm getting fuzziness in my barcodes
when I resize them.
@thelorax-I had the OC back when we were graced by his majesty, the king of coupons and cashiers hearts(lmao), PurpleLotus.

You could try, I dunno, lemme see here, USING CAPITALIZATION? ::)
I'm
just kidding, don't take me too serious. That would be cool
though, or maybe smileys that have animations like having a smiley do a
facepalm, or holding up horns and headbanging.
Does anyone know
if GL rereleased the OC without the new compression they just
used? Or are they just not going to use it in future
updates? ???
-
No I don't think it is compressed that way

Yea
GL has a strong point here. I've thought about doing that same thing
with the beats by dre...I went so far as to printing logos and return
address on labels and even stamped ink over the stamps I used, I was
about to use it but realized: This is A LOT riskier than playing the
"dumbfounded fool" as GL said. It sets you up for some actual big
trouble if things were to go wrong...just a heads up so be careful.
*On
a side note; great idea. Went on the run with OCs last night and I beat
my record for savings. The total bill was two hundo an total savings of
hundred seventy six!
*I've pretty much mastered it by creating a
list by what it the item is and putting the coup. amount next to it.
Auto sum the list and you know how much you "should" be saving. I
arrange the items by location of store (that i know) and bring in a pen.
Every item I find, I cross of list and jot down next to it the
difference in +/- price (I'm a math nerd i kno) but it has saved me a
lot of money as some stores had try to screw me over and then I showed
them my math work and asked if I needed to speak with the manager. They
responded "Oh I must've missed this one, oh and this one oops..I'm so so
sorry". 8)

I
wanted to share here... First Limitless over all GREAT Idea and
FANTASTIC you pulled it off !! I'm glad it worked and I can't wait to
have the money to get both packs!
BUT, as someone who was a retail
manager for 12+ years, I would not have fallen for it and would have
called you out on the envelope..as you missed one thing that I know
should be there.. Go grab some envelope you have gotten in the mail.. Go
on!... now look at the bottom.. See all of those little lines? Those
are printed by the post office for the scanning machines...You could try
and fake them as its not like they have to be scanned.. or.. send some
pre-packaged ones to a friend OUT OF AREA and have them mail them too
you! Then you will have that envelope with all the post marking done by
the Real thing AND it adds to the deny ability story if you ever needed
to!! You can stick with what ever story you have for the social
engineering side of things that you have (servery, hotel story
what not) and you have something with REAL post marks to show that it
came in the mail.. As an added bonus if you really want it too look
good. Use a Po Box for the return address then the post mark zip code
and the return zip code on the real post mark do not even have to
match!! This way if you get called out on being fake you can say "
Um, like I would know it came in the mail" then they can't try
and blame you for printing it and trying to pull one over... Only
someone really on their game would catch this but others like me are out
there..
I no longer work retail..but I do know all the ins and outs of how it works..
in
the mean time.. where is the best place to get paper for all of this
type stuff? I'm not real sure where to start or what to look for.. (
Noobie thread? GL ) And what are these holograms you guys keep
talking about?

Hey all! Long time no see!
I'm about to go try to make some VISA's fly!
What amounts work the best & what stores work the best?
Also did we ever get a answer to whether or not you can go to self checkouts for the GC's?
Any quick tips before I head out are appreciated! Also where is the 100$ visa GC located at?

Hey White Out!
The
100 visa is located in hardcore 5 i believe, maybe 4. they aren't full
page. PM me for the other questions if someone doesn't answer, or if you
want my .2 cents, regardless I'd be happy to help you out.

Our local crisis pregnancy shelter got a much needed diaper donation today thank to Team Lotus. <3 Thanks for what you do!
This
is a much better idea than what i printed out diaper coupons
for...Every time i go on a run, i check the diaper aisle for MILFs,
hoping that Ill find one looking at diapers in which case I'll approach
them and be like "i have these coupons, i thought they were a good deal
and i hated to see them go to waste so i cut them out anyways". Hoping
it'll lead to me being able to mark off MILF from my bucket list. I cut
them out and put them in my binder under a tab called "milf bait". hope
yall think its as funny as i do. especially when i'm stoned.
lol anywho, imaginary +1 (still cant wait to give actual +1s) to you for your generous heart.
You
gave me a good laugh. But seriously its not a bad idea. If I was
approached in a store that way, I think I would be a lot more
receptive to that than just cheesy bullshit flirting.
What a good idea, both for flirting and donating diapers.

Lots of papers will work. You need one that is double sided and approximates the feel of catalogs or magazines or tabloids.
In other words, brochure or presentation paper. Be sure to get the lightest and thinnest "matte" finished paper you can find.
Just
getting coated paper is going to go a long way to improving the picture
quality and professional look (and feel) of your coupons. On regular
paper the ink is allowed to "spread" (absorb) into the paper and that
reduces the resolution substantially. This is why Lasers are so cool no
ink spread so text and barcodes are always crisp. You can get the same
quality on your inkjet if you get a coated (photo/presentation) paper.
Go
to staples website and type in "519718" in the search bar. That is a
good paper to use. Honestly just go to any print store and ask to feel
samples. Tell them what you want. You'll get good paper. Then just go
online and order it. ;)
-
@absinthekitten -Lmao
Right as you were writing your post, I
just made a template with the sorting barcode at the bottom and I have a
personal postage meter to meter the envelope like the post
office. I also should note that when I was in each store, I never
handed them the envelope, I had it in my left hand to cover where the
stamp had been torn off, but they could see a full color "H%$#@" logo
emblazoned on the envelope as I pulled out the flyer. They never
scrutinized the envelopes, I was playing guinea pig to see if it would
work.(young cashiers between 4-8pm work best in my area since kids work
after school and these seem to be peak shopping times when cashiers are
just dreaming of going home.) I see you have a great mind. ;)
Thanks
for the compliments, I am humbled and happy just to be able to share
any knowledge I come across. I honestly was pissed off about being
turned down for those, and just wanted to get the last word, er, coupon
in. I never go to the stores I used them at, and since I'm
relocating, never will again. However I will be using them when I
travel cross country when I move. I haven't touched the "free"
visa's(i read they raise flags) or gas cards yet. Anyone wanna share any
thoughts or success?
I wanna expand into everything else now.
BTW-Target just dropped two foodsavers under $100 yesterday.
-
Ya'll are making me want to go HC! The rush from the OC is
diminishing. Although I had some trouble at Walmart last week. Threw a
bitch fit and left with everything I had coupons for. Probably won't be
back to that Walmart though.
Didn't even feel bad about taking their money that day. effers. ;)

Smoked
is absolutely right, and I can expand a little bit. The best
selection you can find will be at office supply stores like Staples(as
smoked mentioned), OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, etc... IMO and
experience(I'm not an expert), the best paper I found for inkjet
printers(I have an HP Photo Printer and a deskjet), is 120g "premium
presentation paper" for the visa's and stuff that looks like it could
have come in the mail. I use 180g glossy brochure paper for the
other flyers like xbox360, ps3, and I'm gonna try the kindle later today
or tomorrow. Double sided is always best, as some such as myself, like
to go the extra mile to put opaque watermarks as a security feature on
the backs so they appear as though they cannot be copied. ;)
Others like to use Holograms, but I've only seen one vendor on SR with
them and I'm looking for the rectangular ones.

Oh someone said they had issues with the Kindle one.. I'm not sure
what Kindle it is for since I don't have the HC, YET, LOL...They were
turned down at Best Buy.. I saw some at Target you guys might want to
check theirs
are you guys printing the OC on reg paper? I know I
saw some people do Black and White others color.. just wondering about
the paper on these..
is the food saver in the OC or the HC? I'm
not ever sure what a food saver is but you guys seem to be saving a TON
with them so..
-
@smoked Thanks!!!! +1 karma when I get to a hundred, I
couldn't find them anywhere but never use amazon, I was trying to buy
them on SR.
@Absinthekitten(we should drink sometime)-The issue
with the kindle someone had was that there were two different UPC's and I
think they simply had the wrong one. For the OC, I use regular
paper but with 92 brightness instead of 96 but I don't think it
matters. I just had a ream of it cause staples had a rebate to
make it free. :) The foodsaver is in the HC(hardcore collection),
and it is a vaccum sealer used to help preserve food. There's also
a coupon for the bags for them in the OC. I'm not saving a ton
with them, I give them away because I have a lot of hunters and
fishermen in my family. They are useful for packaging other things
as well....(hint:weed)
-
I passed the glad trash bag coupon yesterday and it worked no
problem, paid 48 cents for them. The only one where there was a problem
was the banana boat, it scanned but prompted the cashier to enter a
value off but this could have been my fault for grabbing one with a
different UPC.
-
LOL, Yeah Limitless we should!!
and thanks for the hints on the paper.. I'll start poking around at it..
and YEAH Smoked those are pretty kool thanks for the heads up on them!
....I
almost hate saying it but this is the type of stuff I excel at.. Too
many years on the other end I think.. As a friend and I ( on the end of a
Trip last week, Envious has GREAT Lucy BTW) We were talking about how
Cops come in two flavors but that MOST start off as just one.. Lawful
Good.. High and tight hair just trying to do the right thing, by the law
that is put forth in front of them.. After years on the force they tend
to split from that into two groups.. Mostly.. there is a 3rd.. but
there are less of them... Group one sticks hard nosed to the Lawful good
side and will die with a high and tight still crawling up everyones ass
for everything.. Group two retire or quit and become "hippies" /
Chaotic good or even Neutral ... May of them join the ranks of pot
smokers ect.. the 3rd group.. they just see too much, deal with too
much and it breaks them and then tend to end up in the Neutral Evil to
Lawful Evil group and due to being police now know how to break bad and
not get caught, or at least avoid it very well.
Its kinda like
that for me.. I spent many years in the banking industry and in retail
so I know the ins and outs of it all and there for can work the system
very well.. Being tall very busty ( 38 DDD) Female that draws a lot of
attention from men and Bi / gay woman.. Social Engineering is pretty
easy too.. so when I combine both skill sets along with my back ground
in graphic design.. Yeah.. I'm a force to reckon with on this.
LOL... I would be really interested in seeing that "lesson" set up
that someone was talking about..

Guys. I don't know who else to ask. :P
Has anybody tried to spoof a theme park ticket? 8)
My
initial guess is that the barcodes created for the online tickets are
activated on purchase so my instinct tells me there's no way. But
somebody want to give their input on this?
Like I said. Didn't know where else to ask. XD
We were talking about Groupon and I just had the bright idea... can you forge a theme park ticket?
GL let me know and I'll take this post off.

will scan for a successful scan and you'll know it's scanning with no
issues, but it won't decode all the information for you like Coupon
Decoder will.

GoldenLotus
GL,
I was most excited about the Jose Ole products coupons as that means we
can now get taquitos! Anyway, I found every coupon you listed in this
post EXCEPT for the Jose Ole coupon. Am I just looking over it or was it
not included yet?

So checking the cic today they have the following newly listed:
Haagen-Dazs, Ozarka, Dixie 2.50, and Frappacino? How big a deal is that?
Because I used the Ozarka & Starbucks ones this morning without
problem, this was before checking cic.
-
So, lemme see if I got this straight.
Were all born true neutral. :-X
We become chaotic neutral when we join the coupon club. ;)
We become chaotic good when we use the coupon club to help others. ;D
*For those who don't know, chaotic good archetype is Robin Hood. (lmao)
This would make PL Robin, and GL Friar Tuck(cause he continues to preach the good word.) 8)

Just pulled off a 100$ Visa GC at a local Walgeens going to try and get some more...
I got denied by-
Tarjet (Would have worked but said invalid coup)
Walgreens (manager said no-go)

I'm
pretty sure it doesn't matter, most stores aren't tied to their(CIC)
database, and most cashiers aren't going to take your coupons online and
check every one of them. I'm pretty sure the cashiers at my store
have never even heard of it. I think all of them will still scan
even if listed, it's just that eventually they may tell you they can't
accept them because the manufacturer won't honor the voucher. I
know if it becomes an issue GL will take care of it. We're in good
hands, no worries.
Yup
I
don't really know what the cic actually do except killing our buzz. It
is mostly a fairly long cycle until a retailer decides to act (flag on
their system) on one coupon so it's irrelevant.
That said, I do believe they will be a bigger force in the future

CVS and Walgreens usually haven't worked in my area.
Target doesn't take coupons for free items without need for purchase (as per their coupon policy)

Walgreens and CVS don't seem to work with the VISA's for me either.
Have not tried target or anything else besides walgreens and cvs though.
-
+1 to GL for the new coups!! Things moving forward!
Cheers all!
-
I
tried the glad bags @ Tarjey also but didn't work. Its actually the
only 1 that hasn't worked for me. I have not tried any of the gc coupons
but have scanned them with an app. On itunes one bar code scans at 10$
off and the other @ .10 I also noticed the visa gift cards scan
with something like cashier intervention/approval?
my
itunes did that, i notified the manager and he fixed it. the cashier
has to manually choose the itunes gift card. it just tells them to make
sure the coupon matches the item.

Oh
someone said they had issues with the Kindle one.. I'm not sure what
Kindle it is for since I don't have the HC, YET, LOL...They were turned
down at Best Buy.. I saw some at Target you guys might want to check
theirs
are you guys printing the OC on reg paper? I know I saw
some people do Black and White others color.. just wondering about the
paper on these..
is the food saver in the OC or the HC? I'm not
ever sure what a food saver is but you guys seem to be saving a TON with
them so..
i had trouble with the kindle at best buy. i'm going to try it with officemax and office depot soon
-
Where is the mcdonalds coupon?
I don't think it was a published coupon, just one a member of the community was passing around.
Would someone be so kind?
i'd be happy to if t4b doesn't mind. send me a pm.
-
I think Turkey For Breakfast might already be Little John ;)
Thanks
for the generous title, but I have in no way been offered any type of
"second in command" role by either PL or GL. I am just a fellow couponer
who does his best to help the community in whatever way I can. I like
to share my knowledge and make us all better at pulling this off..
Regards,
T4B

fuck me. i deposit $300 in bitfloor and it takes a week to go
through and then bitfloor stops all trading. shittttt. what is everyone
elses preferred method of obtaining bc? i want a good compromise between
speed and fees.

Our local crisis pregnancy shelter got a much needed diaper donation today thank to Team Lotus. <3 Thanks for what you do!
This
is a much better idea than what i printed out diaper coupons
for...Every time i go on a run, i check the diaper aisle for MILFs,
hoping that Ill find one looking at diapers in which case I'll approach
them and be like "i have these coupons, i thought they were a good deal
and i hated to see them go to waste so i cut them out anyways". Hoping
it'll lead to me being able to mark off MILF from my bucket list. I cut
them out and put them in my binder under a tab called "milf bait". hope
yall think its as funny as i do. especially when i'm stoned.
lol anywho, imaginary +1 (still cant wait to give actual +1s) to you for your generous heart.
You
gave me a good laugh. But seriously its not a bad idea. If I was
approached in a store that way, I think I would be a lot more
receptive to that than just cheesy bullshit flirting.
glad
i got you to laugh. ;D honestly, my favorite part of approaching
girls is getting them relaxed enough to laugh. i feel like girls (and
everyone else in general) takes life too seriously for the most part.
i'm an engineering major (soon to be graduate!!!!) and i'd have blown my
brains out if i took everything so seriously for the last 5 years.

Don't sweat it tango, I will get him set up.

fuck
me. i deposit $300 in bitfloor and it takes a week to go through and
then bitfloor stops all trading. shittttt. what is everyone elses
preferred method of obtaining bc? i want a good compromise between speed
and fees.
I
use BitInstant.. I do a cash deposit and you can send it to a bitcoin
wallet and cut the exchanges out entirely .. By the time you get home it
should be in your wallet.. If you send it to SR directly ( as you can
btw) it takes a bit longer but I'm sure you know it takes a while even
from a wallet..

If
you live near a Wells Fargo then try Bitcopia. I only used them about 3
weeks ago and it was very fast and easy. I purchased my coins at 89 and
with fees it cost $93.15 per coin (It will calculate everything on the
page for you). Made the deposit at 2:10, had the bitcoins in my SR
account by 3:45. The only downside is that you can only use them when
the bank is open.

This collection of money saving coupons is the best thing to happen
to my family. I have saved more money that I could possibly keep track
of. Thank you Lotus²!

Guys. I don't know who else to ask. :P
Has anybody tried to spoof a theme park ticket? 8)
My
initial guess is that the barcodes created for the online tickets are
activated on purchase so my instinct tells me there's no way. But
somebody want to give their input on this?
Like I said. Didn't know where else to ask. XD
We were talking about Groupon and I just had the bright idea... can you forge a theme park ticket?
GL let me know and I'll take this post off.
i used to do ticketmaster etc, pm for details but majority of the time it is not worth it or hard to counter

I'm sure you guys have seen this.. but I wanted to make sure.. It was a PDF that CIC sent out..
** Clearnet **
http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/doc/pg027307.pdf
loads in chrome no need to save it or anything..
Page 3 clearly states that any information needs to be submitted before October 5, 2012.

thanks AbsintheKitten and MordoandRigs! Also, I've been reading
AbsintheKitten as Abs in the kitten for as long as i've seen your name. I
feel dumb after stepping back and reading absinthe kitten for the first
time today. Also, i wish you hadn't mentioned your 38DDD. I'm a sucker
for busty women...although who isn't?

For
the reward yes.. But I just wanted to make sure no one is using any
like this.. I am sure a reward like that has these ones stuck in at
least a few peoples minds. I know something like that would stick in
mine.

Then
who do you guys normally go to for the 100$ GC's? The walgreens that
did work even offered to waive the 5.95 purchase fee, I said I would pay
it...
-
Thank you T4B and tangojuliet!
Plus ones when I can. I think its McRib time.

Hey guys, I'll be up late tonight and I want to make some runs with the 100$ GC's....
Any ideas on places to go with them that are open all night?
Do these work at WM?
Thanks

Ok, so this CIC shit is starting to piss PurpleLotus off and I'm having to deal with the brunt of his storm over it.
So for that, I have to institute a few new Lotus policies.
Don't
post about the CIC anymore. If you want to discuss the subject then you
can message me directly and tell me whatever is on your mind. I need
you to understand that I can't allow people to openly discuss the idea
that there may be a reward out for shutting down this operation. If you
violate this new policy then you very well might cause the exit of the
Lotus name.
I hope everyone gets this. We are here to do great
things at a minimal risk. Right now there is NO income and in fact I
have lost money in trying to return this thing to us all to freely
enjoy. I'd really fucking appreciate it if you did not bring attention
to things which could put PL or myself at any risk. All of the pros here
know that the CIC doesn't mean shit. We also know that the Lotus family
is constantly trying to keep off their radar for the benefit of us all,
but the reality is if a coupon ends up on the site, it doesn't effect
the ability of the coupon to work at all. Again, in the entire history
of this mission on SR, no one has ever reported back that a manager of
any store ever mentioned the CIC. They are a non issue, but we still
address it as an issue so that the customers have peace of mind. If this
behavior continues, it might lead to our demise. I strongly caution
everyone to knock that off. We are all batting 1.000 here in terms of
getting free shit with 0 consequences, so let's not put us at risk of
creating too high of a profile for the leads to be able to continue.
This
message alone might cause me to wake up and find my vendor account is
suspended, since some of you are drawing so much heat to me. There is
only so many god damned colors in the rainbow of Lotus's. Trust me when I
say that if at any point I felt this community is in danger then I'll
be the first whistle blower. It means infinitely more to me than any
amount of BTC ever could. People that know me, know I mean that. To
every last one of you.
GL
*EDIT: For the new user, when I
refer to the entire history of this mission. I am referring to the fact
that PL introduced these coupons a year ago to SR, made thousands of
sales and dealt with thousands of customers. Received all 5/5s and was
one of the top rated vendors on SilkRoad before he had to retire and I
am now trying to take over with his support and guidance. He racked up
600+ pages of reviews over that time, and now we are simply starting
again with a fresh face and fresh thread. Without a doubt, the dude was
one of the hardest working vendors on Silkroad and I'm simply trying to
fill those shoes and provide that same service today. He was a
visionary, no one could doubt it, and he still continues to share his
visions and my job is to execute them and share them with you. To say
that I'm here to make coupons is not giving credit to me, PL, or the
next great idea we are working on to release on SR. If you knew the man,
you knew he always had a next great idea. This is where I come in. I'm
not just here to provide updates to the collections and keep them up to
date on expiration. I came to bring SilkRoad the next new thing.

@adjanmciu
I'm going to be taking down my comment as I was
hoping someone wouldn't respond like this. Not trying to put you
down...it just draws too much attention (especially when you put
numbers, locations, etc.) you should take this post down and PM me. I'm
sorry but I can't put all that information on a forum that's accessible
by "anyone" technically.
-
GL, I'm SORRY!! I thought I was helping.. I edited my post and took
the info out.. I cant fix TFB, but I am sure he will.. SORRY :'(
Maybe
a members forum that ONLY members can join or apply to join that is
locked down and none searchable from the net would be good then you can
talk about anything and no worry.. just a thought..
thanks
AbsintheKitten and MordoandRigs! Also, I've been reading AbsintheKitten

LMFAO... Yeah.. well.. and YES it is Absinthe Kitten as in the Drink Absinthe :)
-
I am behind you GL...I think people need to read a "rules and
guidelines" as to posting on here. Details only draws scrutiny and
unneeded stress. Don't go researching stupid cic stuff. I think the
people here who have been here since the start can all back me up when I
say we "literally had to learn by doing". It takes experience...it's
not some magical spell cast on you when you have the "opportunity" to
use the collection. Let's not ruin a great thing and more importantly,
the lotus family inc. name.
-
LMFAO... Yeah.. well.. and YES it is Absinthe Kitten as in the Drink Absinthe :)
i
have a handle of absinthe in my cabinet now. i dont know how you
stomach the stuff. i'll stick to my handle of belvedere any day.
-
I agree with GL. Yes, this is getting out of hand. Let's keep this
to a minimum. If you have an issues than you send a private message to
GL's. We don't wanna hear the disintegrating of legend name "PL"
;)

other.. :) I hear there is a good Coupon for Nestle Water

No
worries. I know no one ever did anything meaning to harm. I continue to
be given ideas every day and the idea of having a members only forum is
fantastic and one I am looking into. I even asked administration here
if they would help out with the idea, but that wasn't really possible,
so I'll continue to look else where. It's a fine line because I want us
to be able to talk freely and openly about things which exceed the
limits of what a vendor review thread should consist of, but sometimes
it becomes a risk to us all to talk so openly in completely view of joe
blow. I think it would make us much stronger and present better ideas.
But this is what it is, a public forum open to anyone no matter if they
ever bought a listing off SR or not, so we have to pull the reigns back.
I will continue to work on another outlet so we can maintain this
thread as a thread that explains to the new user why this is an awesome
product and they should join us.
I'll put it like this, NickMode
made more money than I did since I started this account. I can't work
for free, just like Walmart can't give shit away for free... wait...
they can, that's what I introduced to SilkRoad. I'm confused now. I hope
you are not. If I go out of business, then from that point forward the
only coupons that exist on SR are from NM... can you imagine SilkRoad
without a Lotus?
Don't get too worried by those comments. I'm
simply trying to put things into perspective and let people see the
challenge I'm faced with. I have no intent of backing down or not
fighting until my last breath. This is the only way I know how to win. I
need some support and I need it now. The next month will dictate
whether we are still here in 2014 or not. I can remember in 2012 talking
about how important it was to still be here in 2013, and here we are,
by any means necessary.

VBullentin is very good and easy.. You can have "open" forums for
anyone , Joe Smoe to view.. and LOCKED that you have to be a member to
even know exist.. Just a thought. I would be willing to help.. I have
lots of experience in Modding them, setting them up and running the
template.. as I'm sure others do too here!
I'm sure a donation fund for it could be started!

This post is for the new members just discovering the forum (getting
back on topic of vender review): this is a no-brainer purchase.
Everything that PL and GL put out are no brainer purchases. You will
make your money back the first time you go out. You will make your
friends money the first time they go. Lather, rinse and repeat to save
thousands on groceries. I've personally saved $400 in 3 weeks and i'm
eating and drinking better than I ever have. I'm using name brand
products i could never afford before. I'm drinking healthy juices that
were out of my price range. This week alone I've saved three of my
friends $250 total. You will not be disappointed by the product or the
creator's work ethic. I will personally reimburse you for your purchase
if you don't make your money back. All the veterans of this thread will
laugh at my guarantee because there is ZERO percent chance of that
happening. Get off the fence and hit ground running. You won't regret
it.

new signature in honor of this thread. I came to silk road looking

I'm in the same shoes. I hadn't had any kind of fruit or specialty
drink (starbucks, naked juice, red bull, etc etc) in months. Yes,
months. Now, I'm eating a bag of frozen dole fruit a day and have my
whole fridge full of literally anything I want. And I did it all for
less than 1/10th of what it costs the general public. I made 3x my money
back in my very first trip to Wal-Mart (went a little overboard) lol.
And I have saved $1,000's of dollars since purchasing the HC & OC
collections just a few weeks ago.
I remember the whole reason I
even got into this "club" if you will, is because I had purchased some
drugs through SR 6 months ago and had just a little BTC left over in my
account. Well I come back 6 months later and BTC had blown the fuck up
so now I had way more $$$ than I had started with. I started looking on
SR to see how I wanted to spend my money and I narrowed it down to one
of the Portable Pen Vaporizers (~$150) and PL's coupons. I HESITANTLY
went with the coupons, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
Seriously, anyone considering buying anything else on SR, do yourselves a
favor and buy this listing first, then buy 10 of whatever you want on
SR with all the money you save. I've already saved hella money and I
only shop for myself and I guess my friends who I've been graciously
giving food and drinks away to. If you have a family or a significant
other, you will save far more than I have already.
So, thank you
to the Lotuses that have kept these coupon listings available through
all their hard work and superb customer service. Not to sound
over-dramatic but these listing have literally changed my life. Thanks
again!

This
post is for the new members just discovering the forum (getting back on
topic of vender review): this is a no-brainer purchase. Everything that
PL and GL put out are no brainer purchases. You will make your money
back the first time you go out. You will make your friends money the
first time they go. Lather, rinse and repeat to save thousands on
groceries. I've personally saved $400 in 3 weeks and i'm eating and
drinking better than I ever have. I'm using name brand products i could
never afford before. I'm drinking healthy juices that were out of my
price range. This week alone I've saved three of my friends $250 total.
You will not be disappointed by the product or the creator's work ethic.
I will personally reimburse you for your purchase if you don't make
your money back. All the veterans of this thread will laugh at my
guarantee because there is ZERO percent chance of that happening. Get
off the fence and hit ground running. You won't regret it.
I
still haven't tried mine. I think there's some uncertainty sitting deep
in me, which is weird, since this is pretty petty in comparison to lots
of other stuff I partake in SR... but just to be sure, I can just go
into a Safeway or Target and hand the cashier a handleful of coupons?
Should I limit it to 3-4 a pass?

This
is a great question and I think a lot of people are apprehensive at
first. :-\ (I was cause I'm a regular couponer)
It is normal to feel that way. I was told by the Lotuses to start
out small, a couple at a time until you get your feet under you to shop
with confidence. In real life, couponers are cut throat bargain
hunters, and when your coupons are being scanned you can act like the
shrewd bargain hunter, the tired housewife, or the struggling college
student(or struggling anything for that matter). I will go ahead
and put myself out there, to make a a better example. I have
social anxiety disorder, and I can't be around large groups of people,
in fact people I don't know make me really uneasy.(except you guys
:D) When I first went out, I would get 1-2 items with some other
things I was buying and use the self checkout. It was great for a
confidence builder, as long as you keep it under $40 in coupons.(Stores
policies may vary by region) Once you get used to the idea of
using them and the internet survey taker story, it's a breeze to go
through with a stack. I would point out that most stores will only
let you use 4 manufacturer coupons per item per trip.
(*Note-I
personally think it makes it easier to give an alibi when you sign up
for survey sites listed on the coupons in the OC. I just create a
separate e-mail address for clearnet couponing in case anything
untorward ever happened.*)
(*Note-It is also a good idea to NOT
save your coupons on a hard drive that is not encrypted. For
noobs, the newer USB Sandisk Glide(NOT CRUZERS) have a AES encryption
program included that is easy to set up and runs through a wizard so no
one can access your files without your permission. For others,
there is a myriad of open source programs for free on the clearnet.)
A
last piece of advice is learning to profile cashiers, in my experience
it is easier to get a lot through with someone younger that may not have
worked in retail for that many years, as opposed to a 15 year vet that
has seen it all and will scrutinize them.(which doesn't matter since
they look practically flawless once printed) I also make mental
notes when shopping who the managers are(for HC purposes), as I like to
run HC gift cards on the younger generation as well. They are more
techno savvy about websites usually, so they're generally less prone to
care about internet coupons and just scan them. I hope this
helps.
Protip-If your friends (or yourself) need jobs, encourage
them to become cashiers! :o It's paying dividends already, my
friend got hired as the assistant manger at Wal-drug!!! 8)
-
+1 KARMA for you limitless.
I too have a social anxiety
problem. And I will say that these coupons has actually boosted my
ability to talk to people I don't know (at least the cashiers and
managers).
Yes. As, limitless said, you shouldn't have your
coupons saved on an unencrypted drive. The likelihood that your drives
will get seized is very low, but it's always good to play it safe.
Having a coupon for the Sandisk would be nice. (:P PL and GL have turned me into a cheap bastard)
I
think there was something for a drive in the HC possibly? I'm not sure
100% on that. Might have been NM's coupon pack (Yes I was dumb and
bought his pack).
-
but
just to be sure, I can just go into a Safeway or Target and hand the
cashier a handleful of coupons? Should I limit it to 3-4 a pass?
FYI,
Safeway does not accept manufacturer coupons. Although my first
attempt at utilizing the coupon collection was at Safeway, and the
cashier decided to type them in anyway, I wouldn't count on that
happening. Most every other store you can think of does accept
them though. As limitless mentioned, I would suggest starting with
a few and working your way up to build confidence, but it's not
completely necessary.
@limitlesshorizon420, is the hard drive
encryption solely a preemptive measure in case law enforcement
confiscated your technology? Thanks for the USB suggestion as
well.

It
is always advised to know your stores coupon policy ahead of time.
Check online, or call and ask. Finding out at the register is never the
way to go.
-
All great answers. Wanted to emphasize start small, profile cashiers and research coupon policies so no one tries to BS you.
You've
been sitting on the OC and haven't even tried it? just print 1 and try
it. what's the worst that could happen? you get rejected and you build
character :) I'm sure you read enough success stories to know what good
can come of it
p.s protection is important but a precedent has been set where a judge can order defendant to give access to encrypted area.
-
Ya'll
are making me want to go HC! The rush from the OC is diminishing.
Although I had some trouble at Walmart last week. Threw a bitch fit and
left with everything I had coupons for. Probably won't be back to that
Walmart though.
Didn't even feel bad about taking their money that day. effers. ;)
Elaborate on what happened please. What was the trouble? How did it turn out?
My
own fault for loosing patience with the long lines and opting for self
checkout. Apparently it takes a manager and 3 employees to determine
whether or not coupons are valid. ::) I went up to customer
service, told them I didn't have time for them to reach a decision
because my children were missing their nap and demanded the coupons back
so I could take my business elsewhere.
At that point they checked me out immediately and accepted all the coupons.
It's been said 100 times here, but don't use self checkout!

I know I keep returning with this question, but places would you guys reccommend using the HC Visa GC coupon at?
Working at Walgreens
Comes up Invalid at Target but they are willing to scan then!
Haven't tried WalMart
Rejected at CVS. (Lady Gave me the sketchiest look, almost as if she too owned the collections)
I am planning on trying to make 3 or 4 work sometime soon.

All
my luck came from CVS. My buddy and me got 5 of the $100.00 gift cards
in one day. We printed on glossy paper on a deskjet printer. What we
noticed is that most of them look on the back. I will try to print some
visa logo on the back see what happens. We even thought about putting a
800 number for verification and have that forward to a burner
phone. That way if they call, I can be in the car and answer hahaha.

Good
Idea! Dude the lady at CVS stated firstly that they don't accept
coupons for GiftCards. Which it does say in the policy. You think you
just got some dumb cashiers?
Also, are they having to manually override yours? It's like my coupon scans but doesn't match correctly so they manually deduct.
This is at WG btw.

They scan fine, but need a manager to approve. Then we pay the activation fee and that's it.

tonight!
Can't wait to be able to officially become a part of the Lotus Army with my first coupon run ;D

Just hit up publix for some ice cream and had a friendly chat with
the manager after the cashier marveled at how large the coupon I gave
her was. Eventually the manager said that they weren't getting
reimbursed from the manufacturer. The manager also told me that the
manufacturer gave out a notice specifying exactly not to accept these
coupons. I wasn't sure if she was pulling this out of her ass or if this
publix is on their game. But worth noting. 2nd day in a row I've been
denied using the OC. I was then told by the cashier that its not my
fault, just sometimes when a coupon is too good to be true its a scam.
The problem I'm having is how BIG some of these coupons are. 50% time a
cashier says "wow these things are huge" then a manager comes over to
check it out.
I'm going to try another publix soon that I've never used coupons at to see if the notice is widespread.
Target and superwalmart is stilll good though.

Wait..... you're not re-scaling them? ???
-
I thought he was referring to how large in $$ value....I've had a
couple small issues w/the coupon being something like $8 off something
that's $7.29 and the cashier not believing that they would make one that
big. Never kept it from working for me though, just some hiccups.
-
I THINK he meant how large the discount was. anyway I've heard publix does a good job training so it is possible.
Most
cashiers that have been around for few years would see these as odd,
you will most likely still pass them but a quick scan of the available
cashiers and picking a youngster or a don't give a fuckster could save
you time and hassle
-
i just tried to use the visa gift cards at my walmart but couldnt
find them with the right upc. i'll have to keep looking. i wanted to try
wraith's 2x $20 off $25 trick bu t no luck. oh well, look forward to
trying the restaurant cards though.
-
Oh god. I haven't been rescaling these things. *slaps hand to face*
-
you've handed them full page coupons? They should still scan they
just look funny :) and most likely draw some unnecessary attention
-
Oh god. I haven't been rescaling these things. *slaps hand to face*
The first time I used T4B's McDonalds coupon, I printed three to a page. They were HUGE, but they worked!
Unfortunately,
even now that I fixed that (I found 6/page to be a good size), I think
the first couple managers that approved it had a talk with someone in
charge of the entire area, and not only do they know it's fake but the
last manager gave me reason to believe that they might have specifically
warned managers about me....
-
Hahahahaha i haven't rescaled the McyDees coupons either. Good god.
Part
of the reason why I didn't resize some of these coops is because I saw a
post a whlle back explaining that some ads are full page for a reason,
as to not give away that a single source is making these. Now that I
think about it maybe this was a comment about the HC made by PL or
GL, I have a hard time remembering.
You live and you learn :)

Ah, rescaling. An important step I missed. Any specific size work best?
-
Ah, rescaling. An important step I missed. Any specific size work best?
I
only re-scale the ones that are single coupons on one page from the OC.
I usually just open them up in MS paint, click "zoom out" twice, then
stretch the page (with the white dot at the bottom of the image) to
about 3 times the size of a coupon. I then use the snipping tool to snip
the coupon then I copy and paste 2 more of the same coupon directly
under the original image. The exact size is not real important imo. In
fact, I feel it gives the cashier an idea of "this guy got these coupons
from ALL over the web" when I have coupons in a few different sizes. I
know there are other ways to r-esize images but this is the quick and
simple way that I use. Feel free to PM if you want anymore
clarification.

Hey guys, a little bad news on my end I suppose.
Well I was
turned down for the 100$ GC at about 3 different walgreens & two
local chains. A lot of the stores were going to do it but just simply
were scared.
I got hungry & wanted steak so I went in a neighborhood walmart with a $25 Outback coupon.
Brought
it to the guy, he scanned it visually, passed it off to another, he
took it away for a while, couldn't find CSM, they let me have it
barely.. Just cause no one was there to address it.
On a shitty
note,neighborhood Walmart busted out their binder of "fake" coupons they
have been told not to accept. They had a bunch of shit listed.
It
was weird, it was like they all had the same format & looked just
like ours, but they had different product pics & slight little
differences.
This just worried me a bit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can I say to an employee if they says the store can take my $100 visa GC, but are just to scared to personally.
Holograms are definitely a must with these, I have somehow been passing these on plain paper lmao w/o a holo.
So I hope I can snag a couple more $100 pops!
My story has normally been.
Is there a manager here?
Yeah I was hoping you could help me?
I won this voucher for a weekly grand prize on site I do surveys for.
They told me to bring it anywhere that VISA giftcards are sold & redeemable one time only.
I wish I knew a store that would for sure without hesitation take these!

Very cool, although I think I have a way that will resize you a little quicker. Protip-It isn't Cialis ( :o )
If
you right click any coupon file, it will open up a menu. Click
print and it will open up your printer's sub-menu to allow you to select
paper size, type, quality, # of copies, etc... On both my laser
and inkjet there is a scaling option on the right side of this menu(I
have HP printers), for full size, 4x6, 5x7, wallet etc..
Choose your
scaling and make sure the whole coupon fits according to the scale
you've chosen; there is a button on the bottom to "snap to frame" that
you may need to un-check so that the image retains its original crisp
resolution. I can resize any coop image for printing in under 15
seconds. ??? (I timed it) Enjoy!

I
saw a similar binder at Wall-drug they pulled out when I first did a
forty off fifty visa(they go through way easier than the free ones
IMO). The manager laid it right on the counter and flipped through
it looking for a coupon with a specific UPC, but the one he found was
for a free visa that I'm pretty sure(90-95%) was a 4chan ripoff of
NM's. I cannot ascertain the validity 100% as I never bought
anything from him because of what I read in the forums before I ordered.
(Protip-IMO(I'm not speaking for anyone but myself), that guys an assclown who ripped off a legend)
I
have a friend who is now an assistant manager there(no thanks to
me :D ), and I'm pretty sure I might be able to get my eyes on it
again to see what else is in there. My daughter wanted candy so I
was dealing with her at the same time. I will work on it, as
information can sometimes be more valuable than gold.

Holograms are definitely a must with these, I have somehow been passing these on plain paper lmao w/o a holo.
I'm
only good at social engineering in certain situations and this isn't
one. I'm just not good enough to pass the higher $$ HC ones
without holos. Ditto on ones like vacuum sealer and xbox.
Can't even find the juicer around here. I can't get any of the
Wallgreens around me to accept any cards over $50 for the same reason a
lot of others have.
If you PM me, I'll point you to some of the
ones I've used and where I get them (about $25 for 200 of various
types). I found some small holos with a serial # that work 90% of
the time for me without having to alter the coupon to make room for the
slightly bigger ones.
-
I've never printed HC on anything but regular paper and black toner
only. Now I'm not saying thats optimal, I'm just saying it's all I had. I
did really well with just that method.
Check Bed Bath and Beyond for the juicer, this is where the idea came from and the first place it was ever passed.
Also,
does anyone think I should sell the VISA dove Holos I have been stock
piling? I've posted pics of them before. I had ideas for them, but have
been too busy to launch them, so it might be best to just sell them off.

So has anyone used these for good yet? I just read that someone
wants to donate pet food to a shelter and I personally wanted to hand
out fast food coupons to a bunch of homeless people. Like coupon Robin
Hood.

I had a fellow classmate break down in tears because she couldn't
afford diapers for her new born baby. The next time I saw her, I pulled
her aside and lifted over 300 diapers into her trunk.

Yeah
man we were just talking about this a few pages back. Some guys like
stopping by the baby section and handing milfs some coupons and others
like to donate the actual items.

the homeless ANY LITTLE THING you do makes an impact and makes what we
do here more justified. You've been blessed ;) pay it forward

I
have a friend who is 6 months pregnant, and very strapped for cash. I'm
giving her copies of the baby related coupons in the pack so she can
stock up on stuff.
I also know several college students with barely enough money for groceries who could make good use of some food coupons.
A lot of these people helped me out when I was in need, and now I have a way to really return the favor.

Hard to match the feeling of making someone's day/month

If we all donate 10% of what we save or get for free or get paid to
take we could make more impact than fucking food stamps :)

So went out today to try more of the HC, not much luck. No $100
visa's today. We got 2 Express gift cards. They are easy to get from
Rite Aid and Wallgreens. Also did some OC shopping and saved over
$300 :D Planning more runs tomorrow and Monday

Ah, rescaling. An important step I missed. Any specific size work best?
Coupons
come in a variety of sizes but the most common one is 2.5 x 6, the size
of a dollar bill!!! Any smaller and the rate of processing errors
increase, any larger and cashiers start looking at you weird. Remember,
you want to blend in as good as possible and using anything close to a
dollar bill size is going to go a long way in accomplishing that. It's
also a subconscious trick, they're used to handling thousands of bills
every day. They've been conditioned to accept this "size", use this
subliminal conditioning to your advantage.
For those of you
using Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8: The built-in "windows photo viewer"
works great. I just double click on a coupon and then click "4x6" or
"5x7"or "3.5x5" in the print dialogue. Be sure to uncheck "fit picture
to frame'. If you want to print multiple per page then increase the
"copies of each picture" until no more will fit.
On the Swanson Chicken Broth Coupon we get:
"3.5x5" = 2.25" x 5in (near perfect)
"4x6" = 2.6" x 6in (perfect)
Takes
less than 5 seconds to print this way. Also it lets you do a slideshow
which makes picking your coupons out a little easier.

Went on more runs both for OC and HC. All was good with the OC,
except the red bull was invalid at target, but the checkout lady
overwrote. As for the HC coupons, we tried Target again. Before it would
always say invalid for the free gift card coupons, but we noticed they
were scanning the old UPC bar code. We asked to scan the new longer one
and it worked. So now we always tell them to scan the new bar code.
Maybe the old style needs to be removed from the gift cards, because it
is the same number on all of them? Anyways, we got 4 Red Lobsters, 1
applebees, 2 more express, and the super wallmart my friends used two HC
xbox coupons at the same time LOL got a joystick and another headset,
and the manager approved. As well as approving the OC purchase there
with saving of $80. This was at likr 1am when it was dead.

I have been turned down at multiple CVS's, Walgreens, Target & both WM's for the 100$ Visa GC...
It's getting me down, I think I may go try some of the full page ones or some American Express's.
Do you guys know if I can make any of the HC GC's work at the self checkouts? I assume they would since they scan.
The problem I keep having is the cashier calls the manager, manager calls loss prevention, cannot accept...
Tips anyone?

The

Wallgreens, rideaid. The Red Lobster, applebees, subway, all work at
Target electronic section. They need to scan the long bar code.

Just wanted to post my most recent OC experience to help some new
people out regarding how to handle yourself during shopping. I've
had the coups for about 4 months now and have it down pretty good for
the OC but there are some things I do to ensure it goes down super
smooth. Take note of the most recent trip:
Every time we go
out I make it a point to go clean shaven, product in hair, looking nice
and smelling nice too (there is enough psychology research to indicate
that smelling nice is a good distraction for people and we want our
cashiers to be distracted from their usual role). I always mix in a
few real coupons from the local paper and also a couple of regular
products as well so that it looks completely legit. This comes in
super handy when the following situation occurs:
Walked into a
bigbox store maybe a red one? Anyway I took my daughter with me
and right away checked out the cashier lanes in passing - plenty of
young cashiers which is what I go for every time. I load up the
cart with a nice selection of goods and always keep under $50 in coupons
total no exception. I walk up to the cashier lane and find the
cutest girl I can. Let's go.
First and foremost
start immediately making small talk and or involve your child if you
have one. Be overly cute and try to chat up the cashier.
Being young they will think it is the greatest/saddest thing ever but
most importantly they will be distracted from their normal job.
This time around I bring my coupons out and she SHRIEKS in
excitement. She starts shouting that she has an extreme couponer
here and SHE LOVES IT! She loves it so much she calls the manager
over to watch.
Now at this point one of two things could have happened: 1). I'd be fucked. 2). I'd be legen-wait for it-dary.
I
chose #2. Because I had been chatting her up already I went with
it hook line and sinker. The first coupon, egglands best I think,
didn't scan properly. Great. They start inspecting EVERY
coupon individually but I also get involved too! We have a great
time and I give her a fake phone number to call me at too.
I know
this is long and drawn out but I think it is important to know that YOU
are part of the scam/deal and you need to start acting like it. I
won't be going back to that store for quite a while due to the scene
that happened but it works out ok because in the end it went waaay
better than it could. I'm a psychology major/instructor and I know
the importance of psychological distraction and how important it is to
take someone out of their comfort zone. (p.s. my wife can't pull this
trick off she doesn't have the social engineering skills to do so but
don't underestimate the power of self-esteem).
Good luck out there and have fun!

so did any of them work? or did u leave empty handed?

Golden I know you're planning to re-release the HC collection,
possibly with new additions. I was wondering if you could relist the
original PL collection at the original price ($60). I really want to get
my feet wet with the hardcore collection. I've been using the OC for a
little over a month.
At any point you could add the new additions
to the original collection as I imagine you've been quite busy lately. I
want in on all the gift card fun!
What are your thoughts GL?
-
Just PM me, truth been told, I have been selling the HC this entire
time and at a discounted price. I have my reasons it hasn't been
relisted quite yet, so just ask me. When it is relisted, it will carry
the original $60 price tag.
-
Ok so enough banging folks here! LOL - decided to start
banging the stores - graduated from the OC to the HC ended up trying
Rite Aid - girlfriend scored a 50 Macy's - tried another Rite Aid and
was turned down pronto! Went to Walgreens and scored a second 50
Macy's - Tried CVS and some rather large round man denied out request
and seemed irritated at us! Went to another CVS and rolled in and
out with a third 50 macys!!! Yeahhhhh...
Anyone know if I
slip out a few cards starting with (99366) and bring them into other
stores that may not have the matching numbers????? Also is anyone
doing more than one card at one register? Still a HC virgin so be
gentle!!!
Lastly we decided to go back to our our comfort zone
with the OC and banged like champions..... 140 in coupons - 90.00 at
target in and out the cashier even tried to find us another store coupon
that he was sure he had. lol Walmart self check out
worked like a breeze as well..... no issue .... Oil, TP, Snuggle,
Laundry Detergent, Water, Yougurt, Razors, Kleenex, Dove, Eggland and
dish soap.... all total cost a little under 40.00 for about 200.00 in
OC... Plus HC $150 on Macy's gift cards..

This is important. 99% of the success in using the OC or the HC coupons comes down to psychology.
I
no longer care what cashier I get. What store I'm at. How many coupons I
have. As soon as I approach I begin talking. I smile. They ask where do
i get them? Did I print them? I never let them ask "are they real". I
beat them to the punch and start being their "life coach". I tell them
to take surveys, write manufacturers, etc etc. I apologize tot he people
behind me. etc etc. Never for one second do I project my insecurities
on to those around me. When I'm checking out I've already convinced
myself that I bought newspapers and clipped each one of these coupons
out. No other reality exists.
When a manager is not on my side,
it doesn't matter. I've already got a loyal soldier fighting for me, the
cashier. Like I've said before, I had a manger tell me they had gotten
fake coupons for video games, sony headsets, and food savers.....and
STILL got them to give me the Beats headphones. People want to cheer you
on, they want to be part of something great, LET THEM!!!!!
-
Don't get me wrong, this is some great info and tips. However,
profiling cashiers is still my #1 goto tool. I picked this one girl
today because I could hear her telling a customer what high school she
went to. Ok I'll take you, you are in high school. I get to the front
and we great each other. She begins singing while she rings up the loot,
and I say "Hey, that ain't bad!" and then after a few more scans I say
"Well, now you have me singing in my head". I let her ring up everything
before I pull out a stack of coupons from my back pocket, and say "I'm
glad no one is behind me, I have all these coupons" and then after
awhile someone does get behind me. This chick was obviously very new and
therefor very slow with the coupons. I said things like "I'm glad you
take your time, some cashiers will just scan blindly and I am never sure
if I get all my savings" and then the lady behind me, who is older
starts to chime in, the cashier engages her too, and the lady asks me if
I got those from the internet. I said yes, and then she asks me what
sites, (I find the ladies behind me are even more prone to ask questions
than the cashier is.) so I tell her, swagbucks, and purple lotus coupon
club.The only reason I say this is because it was on my list of
achievements and so I score it! I then say, "With all the time it
toko me to collect these, and clip them, I might have saved more just by
going to work." and everyone laughs. The cashier then announces to the
people behind me how much I saved, and then I walk out of there looking
awesome. Saved $180 and now my shit is stocked. This was not my
only hit for the day, then I went to another local store and hit them up
for all my favorite products.

Just
for S&G, I looked up Purple Lotus Coupons on the clearnet to see
what it would say & see if there's any semblance of an actual site
out there. First couple of results were variations of the "We have
your [insert search term] coupons here!" which was pretty funny in
itself. There were a couple for the Purple Lotus Kava Bar.
But #4 was the PL Review Thread for SR with the title showing - Seller
of USA Coupons. At least it would provide me some entertainment
knowing there might be someone out there trying to get to the link to
print off the wonderful coupons but has no clue what's going on &
why it's so difficult to get to.
Another funny note though, most
of the rest of the next dozen results were for the PL
dispensaries. Think you can do some coupons to them? ;D
edit: fixed some typos that were driving me nuts
-
so i checked and all the harcore packs for like gift cards have the same first numbers on the upc??
what the hell? i went to a couple places and they are all different .. im hoping i find one that matches..
is that what everyone does? is check for the number to match?
got some hanes shit and some starbucks frappachinos that it.. still a good haul..
got like 3 packs of shirts lol
-
Ha, yes I occasionally google that shit too. Go search the
/SilkRoad/ subreddit for "PurpleLotus" and you will find some pretty
funny stuff there too. One guy said, "His coupons work great, but
PurpleLotus is an asshole."
I thought that was pretty hilarious.
Am I really an asshole? (It's driving me crazy having to constantly talk
about myself in the third person, I think by now it's safe just to
knock that off.) Surprised? I doubt it. Regardless, a complete
personality change was for the best. I was wrong to be enticed into
anger, when I easily could have just kept my mouth shut and continued to
dominate. Lesson learned.

@thelorax:
we simply used 99366 because it was the most common manufacturer of
those giftcards. We have a plan in place to expand those to cover other
common formats, but by far we got the most popular one. Try CVS,
Walgreens, etc, etc. K-Mart is different and you will find
local/regional stores to be a mixed bag but often use 99366 too. When
you go into a Walgreens, CVS, Riteaid, Target... you will see exactly
why they are use the same UPC. The VISA giftcards they purposely get
tricky with, but 99366 is still the most common one found. We simply try
to cater to the most common UPCs found in the country. I get a bunch of
requests to make high dollar ones for UPCs that I have never heard of
before from anyone, but I can't focus on a UPC if it isn't going to
benifit the majority of us. Then the complaints will really get out of
hand.
-
yeah.. well i had my girlfriend go and she wont go anymore she went
to like 8 different locations .. walgreens, a local food store and cvs
stores and now shes convinced it doesnt work.. lol
im not giving up tho.. ima keep trying..
she
said that half the time they called a manager to come up and they flat
out said yeah thats fake those are going around we cant accept that its
fake..
(for the visa gift cards) tried pretty much all of em...
i think you should get like the 7/11 upc and put that on there.. idk
either way im not giving up ima find a place to get the shit and make my money back at least..
the oc works fine

Committing a crime or not. (Is this stealing) by slipping out a few
cards starting with (99366) and bring them into other stores that may
not have the matching numbers????? They are FREE right?
Ok
so enough banging folks here! LOL - decided to start banging the
stores - graduated from the OC to the HC ended up trying Rite Aid -
girlfriend scored a 50 Macy's - tried another Rite Aid and was turned
down pronto! Went to Walgreens and scored a second 50 Macy's -
Tried CVS and some rather large round man denied out request and seemed
irritated at us! Went to another CVS and rolled in and out with a
third 50 macys!!! Yeahhhhh...
Anyone know if I slip out a
few cards starting with (99366) and bring them into other stores that
may not have the matching numbers????? Also is anyone doing more
than one card at one register? Still a HC virgin so be gentle!!!
Lastly
we decided to go back to our our comfort zone with the OC and banged
like champions..... 140 in coupons - 90.00 at target in and out the
cashier even tried to find us another store coupon that he was sure he
had. lol Walmart self check out worked like a breeze
as well..... no issue .... Oil, TP, Snuggle, Laundry Detergent, Water,
Yougurt, Razors, Kleenex, Dove, Eggland and dish soap.... all total cost
a little under 40.00 for about 200.00 in OC... Plus HC $150 on Macy's
gift cards..

Damn, always had my suspicions....but that's only because I'm a

I
think technically it would be, since you are technically
shoplifting...but keep in mind the 11th commandment: It's only illegal
if you get caught.

Ha,
yes I occasionally google that shit too. Go search the /SilkRoad/
subreddit for "PurpleLotus" and you will find some pretty funny stuff
there too. One guy said, "His coupons work great, but PurpleLotus is an
asshole."
I thought that was pretty hilarious. Am I really an
asshole? (It's driving me crazy having to constantly talk about myself
in the third person, I think by now it's safe just to knock that off.)
Surprised? I doubt it. Regardless, a complete personality change was for
the best. I was wrong to be enticed into anger, when I easily could
have just kept my mouth shut and continued to dominate. Lesson learned.

@thelorax:
we simply used 99366 because it was the most common manufacturer of
those giftcards. We have a plan in place to expand those to cover other
common formats, but by far we got the most popular one. Try CVS,
Walgreens, etc, etc. K-Mart is different and you will find
local/regional stores to be a mixed bag but often use 99366 too. When
you go into a Walgreens, CVS, Riteaid, Target... you will see exactly
why they are use the same UPC. The VISA giftcards they purposely get

Yes You are, but its ok I am often called a dick or asshole and my
mother called me a bastard growing up. you have to be hard to live

True. If the manager did call the cops, they would probably just laugh and let it go.

Phone refills and phone purchases $40 are not working anymore with
the new coupon set. Everything else worked except some items like
mylopex protein thing.
Majority of the stuff work perfectly.

Contact your manager or loss prevention/security department.
Do not confront the individual! Your safety is more important.
If
possible (and safe), get a copy of the person’s identification. Note
that counterfeiters have been known to use store discount cards with
false or stolen information.
If possible, have a security guard note the person’s license plate.
After
the transaction, take a break and write down the date and the exact
time of the transaction. Include a physical description of the
individual(s) and be sure to save the suspected counterfeits. Do your
best to handle the “coupons” on the edges to preserve the suspect’s
fingerprints. Be sure to alert the person monitoring your security
cameras to save the appropriate footage.
Never accuse anyone of
anything! It could be embarrassing (and expensive) if you make a
mistake. Instead, have your loss prevention/security department or local
law enforcement agency handle it.

Yesterday my buddy and I went out to do some shopping again. No
problem with OC, got about $400 worth of items from Target and
Wall-mart.
With the HC, used the $40.00 for the GoPhone. The manager
at wallmart took the coupon and put it under the UV light they use to
spot fake money and said it looks good LOL.
Also got 4 $25.00 phone
refill cards, from target, wall-mart, wallgreens. 1 express card, 1
Starbucks card. So not too bad. Oh, and my Mom used the Honeywell $40.00
coupon from the lottery and it worked at Target.

We
are in a Big City. You need to make a night out of it, we start at 9 AM
and finish past midnight. Dress really nice and you need to be a good
talker. Funny story about that GoPhone. On Friday my friend used the
full page coupon to get the Xbox controller at wall-mart. Yesterday we
went to a different wall-mart and he returned it for store credit, they
gave him more then it was at the other wall mart LOL. Then he used that
credit to get the GoPhone with the $40 coupon and ended up paying like
$2.00 total for it haha. He is a good talker, he has this sob story how
he lost his job and does online surveys all day long to support him self
and just keeps talking and talking and the sales person/ manager get so
tired of listening that they just give in.

Sadly,
the whole "not being white" thing likely works against you. I went to a
ghetto ass CVS yesterday with a $25 Outback Steakhouse giftcard coupon
from the HC. The lady in-front of me (black) had some coupons clipped
from the newspaper and the checkout lady (also black) inspected them
like a mofo. I handed the lady my Free $25 Outback coupon and she didn't
even read the fine print before scanning, lol.
-
No employee handbook says "Could be embarrassing (and expensive)"
and also there are tons of people who use fake coupons everyday without
knowing they are fake, just like cashiers accept them not knowing. No
one is going after people for using these. What is funny is the part
about "Do not confront the individual, your safety is more important!"
HAHAHA
like one of us would straight pistol whip a cashier because she
questioned the validity of our coupons! Good stuff, very funny. Complete
BS.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
By tomorrow (possibly tonight, but SR
is down) we will release a brand new collection with over 200+ NEW,
NEVER BEFORE SEEN COUPONS! This listing will sell for $30 and will only
be available to purchase by previous Lotus customers. This means no one
can buy this new listing until they first have purchased and used the
Original Collection and this is for good reason!
For all of you
who love when brand new content drops so you can be one of the firsts to
take advantage of it, this listing is for you! A lot of things people
have been asking for have been incorporated in this new collection and
we have even bigger plans for it's future as we continue to expand on
the next chapter in this thread.
This new listing is worth every
penny x10 and will not disappoint, but some of you may ask... Why do we
have to buy a new collection again? Well one answer is that GoldenLotus
so far has not come close to the income PurpleLotus was bringing in.
The amount of funds coming in and time being spent is easily less than
minimum wage on some days. I simply can't continue working if I don't
make some kind of change in order to keep myself in business.
In
order to return myself to previous form, I will have to get myself back
up on the front pages of my respective categories and establish my
vending stats to "over 300". In the mean time, this new listing has many
things which have been asked for over and over again, and the fee will
keep things moving while we rebuild the business model of PurpleLotus
which worked so well. That business model is failing in these
conditions.
This is really exciting stuff and I'm 100% confident no one could ever make the claim, "Yeah, this wasn't worth the $30!"
200+ New and Exclusive, never before seen, made for SR only... COUPONS!
To be released early tomorrow. So be ready.

have been asking for have been incorporated in this new collection and
we have even bigger plans for it's future as we continue to expand on
the next chapter in this thread.
This new listing is worth every
penny x10 and will not disappoint, but some of you may ask... Why do we
have to buy a new collection again? Well one answer is that GoldenLotus
so far has not come close to the income PurpleLotus was bringing in.
The amount of funds coming in and time being spent is easily less than
minimum wage on some days. I simply can't continue working if I don't
make some kind of change in order to keep myself in business.
In
order to return myself to previous form, I will have to get myself back
up on the front pages of my respective categories and establish my
vending stats to "over 300". In the mean time, this new listing has many
things which have been asked for over and over again, and the fee will
keep things moving while we rebuild the business model of PurpleLotus
which worked so well. That business model is failing in these
conditions.
This is really exciting stuff and I'm 100% confident no one could ever make the claim, "Yeah, this wasn't worth the $30!"
200+ New and Exclusive, never before seen, made for SR only... COUPONS!
To be released early tomorrow. So be ready.

1 for a true FLESHLight. I've been using the OC coupons to pick up a
pack of Bounty Towels and taking one, soaking it in water, and
microwaving on medium (she can't be too hot) for 30 seconds. Then, as I
dream of lost MILFs in the diaper section of Walmart, as I appear with
handfuls of LOTUS 99%-Off-Everything-In-The-Store Coupons, I whisper in
their ear, "I'm happy to see you, and that other bulge in my pants is
from all the gift cards we're going to use as we plunder the fuck outta
every god-damn store possible."

One
step closer to the milf achievement. i had some milf bait (pampers and
huggies and pampers wipes coups) in my pocket and went the the diaper
aisle (while i was with another girl, told her i was going to look at
video games). i found one mom and handed her a small stack and she
jumped up and down and kissed me on the cheek. now granted, she wasn't
attractive in the least bit but i'm much closer to my goal than i was
before. the concept has been proven.

in
the stack of those u need to have accidentally put one of your business
cards in there. now when i say you, i mean your
alter-persona. I have had one for almost a decade and he has his
own facebook and fb friends and life lol. phone number email,
etc. that way when you do hand it to her but dont pull her number
she will have it anyhow in a sly fashion
-
This may not be a popular suggestion but I'll make it anyway....
GoldenPurbleLotus:
The only way to secure your income from this long term is going to be a
subscription service. Think about it. People are using these every
single week to save hundreds of dollars. What you are providing here
isn't a one time tangible item. What you are offering is a "service".
Services have fees. This business model is as old as the hills and it
works well. And what "service" out their actually MAKE you money? As far
as I'm concerned GPL has directly put thousands of dollars in my
families pocket....
Do what you will, I may be 100% wrong, just a suggestion. :)
P.S. I love how my opinions keep getting me negative karma...lol.
-
subscription base means paying for new expiration dates, also means exp dates would be hardcoded to prevent fraud.
i
guess as a community youd have to decide what you want. if you make
lotus enough money thru new listings then subscription wont be necessary
that means u get more coupons and worryfree updates
i say worryfree because anyone with paint can change a 6 to a 9 but when that shit is hardcoded yea not so easy
atleast
thats how i would see it. I wouldnt have an issue with a sub, i
mean i use it every week, a cut for what i save is reasonable in my
eyes. now on the oc i save 50-100 weekly so a $10 monthly fee isnt
absurd thats $10 for 200-400 of savings 217-433 to be exact. so thats a
2.3-4.7% commission.
just seems like more hassle on lotus end having to do all that if he can make similar thru new listings.

All this maintenance and DDoS none sense is getting in the way of new coupons.
As
far is the debate on my business plan, I'm certainly open to everyone's
opinions for sure. The day I stop listening to the customers, this is
certain to fail. The way I see it, future updates on the collections
should remain free. It would be going against one of my main principles
if I did otherwise, but let's visit the subject again in late July. If
things are going well, I have no excuse to try to make people pay for
updates. I simply need to get this back on track and back to the level
that PurpleLotus was on. How do I do that? Easy, drop a new collection.
Got some other really exciting projects in the works. We aren't just
making coupons and new collections, we are trying to change the game.
Remember
that by supporting the new collection, we can assure updates will
always be free on all collections. Let's support each other.

-
Just a sneak peak at what we are in store for while we wait on SR to come back:
The new collection will contain a mix of coupons that are all brand new.
This
time, all new gift cards are done with both 99366 and 76750 UPCs. This
is the first time 76750 UPCs have been introduced on a large scale on
coupons so it will give us twice as many options on where we can use
gift cards and also it opens us up to new store options that have NEVER
seen any gift card coupons previously, like K-Mart who exclusively uses
76750 UPCs and many others.
If you buy the listing in the next
few weeks, it will be smoking hot if you use the 76750 UPC because no
one is going to say "Yeah, we were told not to accept these." because
certainly they have not been told that... yet.
Let's get ready, about to be some fireworks!

Haven't been around these parts in a while. Glad I popped in
when I did. Count me in on the new listing as soon as SR rebounds
from the DDoS!
Suppose I've got few pages of reading to do to catch up on the antics of you crazy kids.
GL,
sounds like you hit the pavement running here! Keep up the great
work! I'm excited to see what you've got in store for us in the
new coupon dump!
Wraithe, quit being so damn brilliant! Lol, you're making the rest of us look like lemmings ;)

I've got enough in my account on SR to purchase the new pack (first
time I've ever had enough on reserve for anything useful). SR HURRY UP
AND GET BACK ONLINE SO I CAN BUY. :P
As for the new UPC Gift
Cards.... Not sure where I can use these. I haven't been anywhere that
uses this UPC system. I've noticed that many people say KMart, but I
thought they went out of business years ago. I went on maps and the
nearest Kmart to me is a good 250miles away.
Any other stores people know about that have the 767 UPCs?

have them here, but it's impossible to use them there. Staples will be

+1 KARMA for you. I will be trying iTunes and XBOX at Best Buy today. Will report in a few hours.

This is very intriguing to me and I will probably be purchasing the
OC shortly. Is there a list of all the coupons that are included
somewhere?

Yes meatwad, once SR comes back up, just follow the link to my vendor profile and check out the OC listing.

I do believe my exact words were, "Are you serious right now?!" which
was my way of saying that your a smart kid and I know you know exactly
what the deal is. PurpleLotus needed to let the heat die down and
GoldenLotus needed to introduce a new attitude and show that there was
in fact a better way to handle trolls and scamming competition than by
arguing with them on the forum. I've learned a lot of lessons on this
journey. Like how to thrive in a free market. All this time I had
forgotten that if I just stayed focused on what I do best, then there
was no way anyone was going to hold a flame to me. It seemed like a good
idea just to go ahead and be someone different for awhile, while making
it boldly obvious it was still the same man behind the curtain.
So
now the plan is to just do what I have always done and provide
excellent customer service while busting my ass, and try to show more
maturity when anything takes away from that.
Anyways, if I had a
bitcoin for everytime I could be quoted saying "We love you, scout!" on
this thread or the forums in general, I'd have like 6-7 bitcoins right
now, which would be sweet. So with that being said, even though I'm not a
big fan of authority still, We love you scout, and you are always
welcome here on this thread!
This next coupon is for +1 to scout!

Went out to make a run. Went to Walmart (initially looking for a Sonic GC) and got a $25 iTunes card, no problem.
Second
stop, Best Buy. Full page XBOX 12 Month Gold worked fine. He had to
call a manager up. Then the cashier had to manually input (I'm guessing
with all Mfc. Coupons because the manager asked "How do you input
manufacturers coupons?") the prize of the coupon.
Third stop, another
Walmart. Still no luck on a Sonic GC, so I went with another $25
iTunes. Went to the cashier, she scanned the GC, scanned the coupon,
typed the amount off. Total = $0.00. And the dumbass bitch couldn't
figure out how to finish the transaction. Called some old bitch over and
she was like "let me check on this coupon." 10 minutes later another
bitch came out and said "we can't accept this coupon" and showed me a
highlighted part of their coupon policy that stated they do not accept
internet coupons for free products (which I knew about). I asked her if I
were to get a copy from the manufacturer would they accept it since it
wouldn't be an internet coupon and she said "i'm not sure." So time to
make a page of iTunes GCs that look like they came from the
manufacturer.
After this encounter I started getting a pretty bad
headache, so I decided to call it a day (my days usually consist of
~$150-$300 worth of GCs).
Also, while I was at Best Buy I did some looking around.
I found these GCs for EA's Origin. They come in $20 and $60 forms. They are "powered by FastCard" so they have the UPC is 99366.

A pretty surprising and dissapointing experience today. Been here
for awhile and I have been consistent in obtaining anything from any
collection in the last month or two 90% of the time in my "area".
Haven't took a stab @ the kindle yet so decided to go to the ONLY place
who had them and my "buddy" worked there so figured it'd b no problem.
To my surprise, not only was I denied by the manager, but he told me
that he had seen the EXACT coupon 5 times TODAY. Hmm that's odd...moved
onto my main gc headquarters where I have never failed bc I don't abuse
the place and only use one at a time. This is where things got strange.
Not only was I denied for the first time after obtaining about 20 gcs
but was told by the woman she was sorry but someone had come in the last
two days and threw down multiple gcs at a time. WAY TO RAISE RED FLAGS
DUMB***. I really hope whoever here that decided to come into my turf
and mess sht up for me and any possible fellow hc/ocers leaves what was
my 'pot of gold' area. Seriously...if I see anyone wit these collections
around my area throwin down multiple gcs/hcs...I'm gonna shove the hard
ones up ur ass after a chat. Sorry for venting but the chances of this
happening are so slim that I'm still in shock that someone here would
first of all, ever go to the same place as me (I'm not gonna explain
why...not that hard to figure out)...but the BAD part is that you could
have seriously screwed me and possibly others. These aren't something
you abuse! I guess all good things do have to come to end, just wish it
didn't have to be this way. Thanks GL/PL for alll you've done for me and
the community that have used your knowledge wisely and amounted to so
much over the last 6 months. Gonna lay low for awhile.

Thanks for the tip on the SC a few pages back. 8) Last
weekend, I was in and out of each of about 10 Big Blue Bitches in under
five minutes, from the time I rolled into and out of the parking lot
even, nabbing a free $25 food card each time.
Going to be a tad
bolder next time and get two consecutive transactions. $25 more for
about 15 seconds more time inside. More than that sounds like an
invitation to unwanted scrutiny, and I really get off on the omnipotent
power trip of walzing in and out unnoticed.
And it just dawned on me that I should try the $25 VISA's...
-
So I have come full circle, having begun this transformation of
supply procurement with SC, to gain confidence, soon eschewing it for
the benefits of the live cashier, and now returning to it for the
amazingly easy $25 + $25 gc (and maybe VISA).
-
As I haven't posted for a while until today and I haven't even made a
token tip to him lately, I have to say once again that Golden/Purple
Lotus is the best vendor on SR - or anywhere else for that matter - and
that his products will improve your life in ways beyond 'just' saving
$500-$1,000/month on food for your family. Among them, boosted
self-confidence and a Zen-like appreciation for the other denizens of
the retail circle of life: the apathetic cashiers & clueless
managers that do half the work for me, the LP goons to whom I am now
invisible & the methhead shoplifters that they're geared to deal
with.
I can't wait for the new collection. $30 for 200 NEW
coupons (w/ free updates!) sounds like a steal! ;D I've been meaning to
pass at least a token tip to GPL, too, so I hope that SR gets stable
again before I get caught up in this weekend's pillaging.

Oh they will call you, their people, and the collectors will call you.
You say... "Hello, Me no Speak English, and hang up."
Then back to the good ol hospital care of USA!!!
Where hospital bills just don't matter. :)
Unless, you are having a professional help, that's where it hurts your pocket.

I have yet to score any
GC..kinda intimidating for me since I tried with the Visas a few weeks
after their release but was pretty late to jump on that ship so stuff
was pretty burned up around me. So as far as other GC's go..you can get
them to work on selfies?! Is this at WM?? Any tips are appreciated
although I know most of the trick is SE but still. I do have awesome
success with the OC though! ;D

Community Care Grants(financial aid for the uninsured, ask your
hospital for the paperwork, almost all hospitals have the program. i
needed emergency surgery and had no insurance. Couldn't pay,
applied for aid through the hospital and they covered it with a grant.
Surgery was 21k! They use it as a tax write off. I know of
others that had non life threatening situations that get paid for as
well. Hope it helps, here's to your health!)

Very Interesting information.
Does this cover the "Emergency Door" Visits?
Or just some Hospital Surgery appointments...?

Yeah
bud, I'm doing well. I started to wonder what was up with you after
messaging you Monday with some great news, you should find it when you
check your SR messages. I'll look into the hospitals barcode system and
see if I can make you up an ObamaCare full page ad or something :-) LOL,
but for now I think you will be pretty thrilled with the gifts you
missed out on a couple days ago. I spent Christmas eve in the ER once,
it was nice to come home and get to open gifts... and you sir, have
gifts to go open from the Lotus family from a couple days ago.
Hope
to hear from you soon, and I'm about to go stuff a copy of the new
collection on top of your other surprises. I haven't even been able to
check SR to see if it's back up, but at this point the new listing won't
go live until several hours from now, even if SR is up. I gotta take
off here in a minute. 8)

I've
used my hospital's "Charity Care" for an ER visit a few years ago--it
knocked off 5k off a $5400 bill, the only thing I had to pay for was for
the specialist to look at x-rays for 10 minutes. You have to be making a
modest wage to qualify, then it goes on a sliding scale most places.

GL,
I went through some of the old posts I missed and I can
understand your dilemma regarding a lack of recurring and sustainable
income. I know that we all very much appreciate the work you have done
and definitely would like to see you stick around.
I believe
that one way to guarantee your longevity here would be to not only be
more systematized, but also ensure 'recurring income'.
As you
have noted, many of the people on SR who are going to buy your product
already have and new sales have declined. As more and more people become
active on SR, sales might pick up again but you will find that over the
long term, you can expect X number of coupon packs sold per
month. The longer your history on SR, the more reliable and accurate
that number will become. Such is the business of sales... you can
forecast future income...
I speak for myself here but I believe
if we could count on you to release a new pack of lets say 10-20 new
coupons every 1st of the month, that we would gladly pay a 'subscription
fee' of idk what would be fair but maybe $5 to $10 dollars per month.
You could take set up and issue forum surveys on what products would be
the most sought after. Exclusive, highly anticipated coupon updates
could fetch a higher premium than simple, less advantageous coupon
packs. Every month, your loyal followers who are interested in the new
packs and have helped create them with the surveys will pay the
subscription fee. Some months I might decide not to buy only because I
dont want the coupons included. The biggest benefit herer is that as you
sell more and more packs, the 'recurring income' from the coupon
updates will become greater and greater.
I know this goes against
your own principals in that you said you wont charge for new updates
but lets face it GL and all others, this is NOT an appropriate business
model for the long-term. Some people will bitch about it, but if it has
to be done, it has to be done. As long as you are fair in your pricing,
honest in your dealings, and reliable with your updates, we all win.
Don't feel bad about it. We need you stay motivated and active on SR so
that we continue to get great service and great coupons and if this is
the way to do it, then let it happen...
What does everyone else think?
-
Hi GL,
I'm new to SR and have been window shopping for quite
some time, but I've determined that when the new listing goes live,
it'll be my first purchase on the road. Looking forward to it!
-
Got some coins heading towards SR as we speak, should have enough
left over to pick up this newest coupon pack. No brainer on this
end, saved so much with GC and HC more than happy to throw some coins
towards the Lotus man. Plus this is new stuff, gonna have a blast
trying out new stuff no one in my area has had a chance to screw up yet
lol. Get that listing up man, I'm ready :) :)

Ready to buy the new pack here. :D

thats a nice pack there those 50 and 100 gcs will cleanup at kmart. ill let you know how i do lol

Got my order in :) Glad I just bought ink and paper for the printer 8) 8)
-
Also the current price is just a grand opening introductory price. I
think everyone who has owned the previous collections can see that the
value of this collection is higher than the price is currently set to
(even by PL standards where a small amount of coin is worth thousands in
savings). Just making that it's clear this offer is for those willing
to be the first adopters and reviewers of this new collection before
setting it to a more realistic price that is still an amazing value to
everyone. All previous customers are welcome to purchase it immediately,
and today would be the best logical choice to buy if you are 100%
confident in the listing and don't need to see others opinions first.
GL
-
yup just bought it.. send link to us all .. thanks kind sir!! i love your new list.. amazing..
-
Best deal on the road, hands down. Lotus comes thru again!!
Suck my balls Walmart!!!! Fuck yea...
-
Damn, the number of sales in that first hour might have very well
set some sort of record... could it be that we are selling the most
addictive product on Silk Road and it's not even a substance? :P
Just filled all the orders.
-
Yup, I too took the plunge. I went hard with the Visas right
when they came out and haven't had much fun with the HC since, thinking
to play it safe do to the growing popularity. So, what does PGL
do? Gives us a clean slate! I plan on having a shopping
spree tomorrow or Saturday ;D I'll be sure to report back
with results.
Now, for things like Amazon cards where the
purchase is registered to an individual, what's the worst case
scenario? I know that people have been loving the iTunes and xbox
coupons from the beginning. Have there been ANY negative
ramifications? I feel like that's just such a simple paper trail
back to you, but it doesn't seem to have caused a single issue that I've
read about here. Did I miss them? Can anyone explain to me
how my view of this is skewed?
Anyway Long live Lotus! He's like those ol' Buddy Lee jeans commercials, "Can't Bust 'Em!"

No
one has had any issues by using gift cards to do things with iTunes,
Xbox live, etc... Microsoft is not going to knock on your door for the
illegal copy of Windows 7 you downloaded and they won't do it for the
Xbox live pass either. As far as consequences, I would say it is as
likely that you face punishment for pirating software as it is for using
these cards. There are simply too many loop holes and ways you could
have gotten the card, such as a gift, or buying it off craigslist or
from one of those GC resellers and so on... Ultimately no one will
bother, because there is nothing to say you did anything wrong.
Amazon
isn't going to spend all day with a task force calling loss prevention
at each store and demanding to see the video of some random dude paying
in cash. Why would LE even waste the time? Anyways, I'm being alittle
extreme with my example hopefully to put you at ease with your concern.
If
it really makes you nervous, then just skip the Amazon card, or hell,
buy an SR vendor account and offer "Purchase any item you want from
Amazon with Bitcoin!" then all you do is take their address and place
the order they request with the GCs. Now you turned GC to BTC!

-
That's a good way of looking at it. Thanks.
On a side
note, what is going on with these DL speeds?! They're...
FAST! I was getting above 100KB/s pretty steadily. Now I'm
down to around 50-70, but that's still fantastic for TOR!
-
Just bought both packs. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for making this all possible, GL!
-
Just bought mine, I LITERALLY would have payed that amount just for
Digornio coupon. haha, much better than CPK in my opinion.
I'm gonna head out tomorrow for some of the new HC stuff, should be back with an update soon
-
what the fuck.. i just bought the new pack.. and they are not three to a page.. how do i resize these without word?
i cant get jiggy with this shit!!!
advice? haaalp!
-
Well, that's certainly an interesting way to ask for help... I could
show you how to get word for free, but to answer your question,
assuming you use Windows, just open them in Windows default picture
viewer and when you go to print you will have the option to choose
multiple layouts for multiple pictures to one page. By playing with that
a little you will find the perfect size for you and be able to easily
print 3-4 per page. Get a smart phone UPC and GS1 barcode scanner to
check for a successful if you arent sure if it's too small

lol im just kidding bro its from the movie next friday.. when the african walks in the C.D. store all mad..

are the marlboro coupons confirmed to work?
it only matters what the first 5 numbers on UPC code is correct? the last 5 dont matter?
-
Correctamundo. And that's what we're gonna be. We're gonna be cool.
Now m3bimmer, I'm gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let
go of your gun, and sit your ass down. But when you do it, you do it
cool. Ready? One... two... three.
I mean, yes that is correct. Just had to quote a movie back at thelorax. 8)

@backthatassup: Try new stores. I would highly recommend using the
76750 option if you can, because these stores will have never seen any
of these before today. There is no reason they should have any issue
with manufacturer coupons, and the idea that it happens at every store
you go to, assuming you've tried multiple locations, is out of the
ordinary. This release has no Full Page ads in it yet, but there are
several in the works to be added in a very quick set of additions. We
came prepared this time. Gotta get back what we lost, and in record
time. 8)

Well I'm back haha. After seeing those updates, there is so much potential!! Now I just gotta get some btc....
Great update lotus, you never seize to amaze me.
P.S. Wraithe-I knew it was you!

I have just purchased the AC. I have all but the lessons purchased from GPL. :D
I can't wait to try these new coups out.
-
Ahhh, the calm before the storm. I hate waiting for BTC, but
its worth waiting for what I know is coming. Feels like my
birthday. 8)
The Lotus giveth, & BitInstanth taketh away.
(JumboMonkeyBiscuit saves my ass by getting me BTC in 20 mins, ) :o yep, its true :D
I can't wait to go shopping this weekend. 8)

Any general tips for using the new coupon release. I've been
roughing the OC at a steady pace, only black and white...RESIZED ;) I've
gotten those old stores that have denied me to gladly accept these
coupons again. I just needed to adjust my tactics.
I just think
that black and white coupons for gift cards have a high chance of
getting turned down in my area. GL/PL you say you use the good ole
fashioned B+W for the gift cards. How do you make it work? I may have to
send you a PM on SR.\
Can anyone recommend a good card stock and proper hologram?
Please PM me a couple pointers to get myself going with the gift cards.
To
me this is MY HC and I want to treat it like I did with the OC...baby
steps...then improved confidence...and finally boss man junior.
Waiting to convert my paycheck into some bitcoin and whilst I wait I need to prepare for what I'm about to dive into.
Good Day!
-
Yeah, anyone got any tips on how to make HC gift cards work? : /
-
I have a question...
What are the chances of getting some coupons for ammunition?
Bullets are fucking expensive now a days.
But then again trying to pass of coupons in a store full of armed employees is sort of scary.

As
has been stated many times before, the main thing is to gain confidence
from using the OC. You will gain a high amount of self confidence and
some abilities in social engineering. Another big thing is to profile
the cashiers. If they look like they don't wanna be there, that's
awesome, just don't get somebody that might be a total dumbass and not
know how to work with coupons. What I like to do is find a cashier I
think is a good match, and stand there looking through candy bars or the
gift cards and listen to how the cashier works with customers. If they
seem like COMPLETE newbies I try to steer clear of them. Stay away from
old ladies, and people that look like they have worked in the business
for a while.
Walmart is best for GCs that don't require manager
approval (those $50 and over) because as per their coupon policy they
are not allowed to accept internet coupons for free products. That being
said I've only been turned down twice on GC's $50 and over there. It
just shows the stupidity of the CSMs on their own policies.
I
personally have yet to pass a GC coupon at CVS or Walgreens, but I know
some people on the forum have, so it might be worth trying.
As I
said the biggest thing is to just have the mentality that these coupons
are real. Have the confidence built of from using the OC, and just work
work work. It's trial and error. Never be too scared because the worst
that can happen is you get told no.

The HC has a coupon for Winchester ammo. Also the lottery has Daisy coupon (probably not the ammo you're looking for).

Best bet is to PM GoldenLotus or if you purchased the lotto post a request on that forum topic. :)

ac pack is killer. kmart had no idea wtf hit them. I was 10
for 12 today. I ran out of kmarts in the area lol. $50 at
most towards the end i was getting bored and was trying the 100s.
thats where one of my declines came from but the other 2 worked.
we
need a coupon for tires cuz with all this driving ima need new ones
soon lol. I plan on driving an hour out to hit the next region of
kmarts. Good shit lotus, i take back SOME of the bad shit i said
about you. Also if you print borderless you can fit 4 to a page
for the gift cards. made it a bit easier to print and cut
-
Nah, we don't make coupons for firearms for felons. BC has been
convicted of more crimes than Hitler would have been had he not offed
himself. Making a coupon to arm BC would be about equal to breaking
every rule SR ever made, and we would instantly be banned for it. Our
survival depends on keeping BruceCampbell away from firearms.

Just got out of the ER a few hours ago and the first thing I do is log on here to read what I've missed....Sick huh? lol!
Blindman,I've
been better but thanks for asking....and PL I hope you are doing well
man.Can't wait to see what's in the new 200+ collection.
I have a semi-chubber just thinking about it.PEACE guys I will be back on tomorrow I hope.
Do you have a coupon for a shitty 18hr hospital stay that's gonna prob be 5k??? LMAO!
Yeah
bud, I'm doing well. I started to wonder what was up with you after
messaging you Monday with some great news, you should find it when you
check your SR messages. I'll look into the hospitals barcode system and
see if I can make you up an ObamaCare full page ad or something :-) LOL,
but for now I think you will be pretty thrilled with the gifts you
missed out on a couple days ago. I spent Christmas eve in the ER once,
it was nice to come home and get to open gifts... and you sir, have
gifts to go open from the Lotus family from a couple days ago.
Hope
to hear from you soon, and I'm about to go stuff a copy of the new
collection on top of your other surprises. I haven't even been able to
check SR to see if it's back up, but at this point the new listing won't
go live until several hours from now, even if SR is up. I gotta take
off here in a minute. 8)
GoldenLotus
You and Blindman are amazing friends.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Can't wait to see the new coupons! I wish I had friends like this in the real world that I could talk/hang with.
I messaged both of you back.
To
everyone else who wished me well....THANK YOU and I am +1 ing everyone I
see who said something regarding my situation.This community is
awesome,I love it here.
PEACE!

Hey guys, could someone give me some help. I downloaded all 7 files I
believe it was but one did not download correctly. It must be the one
with most of the food items because I'm missing Tostitos, Naked Juice
etc.. Which set were these coupons in? I don't want to re download all
of them

no my friend you got a little mixed up,$50.00 and OVER requires a
CSM to come and approve/turn the key.Try and do multiple transactions at
different times to avoid the red flag of being noticed too much,with me
it is hard because I am fucking gigantic and a social magnet,but I
still do very well when I play my cards right.
Once in awhile I want
to get greedy and I go to target where there IS NO limit on the amount
of savings,just a caution though not to use any 1 coupon worth more than
40.00 there.....I learned the hard way,lol
Good luck.

Love having ya back in the mix, Mr Skrektastic! How are you doing on gift cards at the Walmart self checkout? ;D
-
Is it really true that walmart doesn't need a manger for GC's under
50 and under? Cuz anytime I use a gc coupon at any CVS / RITE AID /
WALMART someone needs to come over -_-;; Oh and are GC coupons
supposed to scan through? Cuz they nevr scan through for me...? Is it
the paper and ink I use thats not good enough? Cuz it is kinda blurry

Oh great,LOOK everyone...the blind guy is poking that mean angry ogre with his walking stick!
fuck these local walmarts in my area with their stupid GC policies,CVS is my little bitch for them though.
Fiesta lime chicken for dinner tonight courtesy of Appleby's.......well,REALLY courtesy of GL!
I wish I could rape walmart with your gimp stick Blindman,but these fuckers are GC nazi's

GOD finally I have 50 posts. These coupons actually motivated me to spam to 50. LOL.
Hey
guys, complete coupon noob here. I bought the adv coupon, and I'm
confused. I looked at the back of the mobil gas cards, amazon cards,
AmEx cards at CVS and none of the barcodes match up. Do you guys know
which one of the two works at CVS? And what is a "safe" amount that will
work?
I've had a lot of success with the grocery stuff at target, lol. Yay free dijorno.
-
Any chance for some coupons for the blucig starter pack and cartridges?
That's
a really good idea, my dude. I'm going to see about getting the starter
pack, the cartridges, and even those new temporary ones I've been
buying.
-
GL, I forgot to mention that the hanes and fruit of the looms coupons both do not work. Well, at target.

the $3.50 off any Marlboro pack of cigarettes coupon rang up as
expired at Walgreens today. He still put it in manually though.

No
self checkouts at the Walmarts in your area? That's been what's working
for me, although some have signs saying that gift cards can not be
loaded at that register. I just use the one next to it.

No
CSM is required at Walmart if you keep the savings under $50.01. The
GC's work at the self checkout. And you can check your coupon with
an app (not sure the name of it) to make sure it will scan before using
it.
-
so if i grab a 50 gc lets say for the gap....take it to the self
check at wally i will not need a csm? or is it any UNDER 50?
also
what are you all printing on for the gc? anything special? im just using
the normal paper.sorry for the repeat question im sure thats been
covered...id assume that normal paper would be best, if its on special
paper it would lead me to believe that your telling the cashier it was
sent to you in the mail?
great idea on the mobile hotspot! it
had me thinking about security, i was wondering if there was anyone out
there that had info on mobile security for idevices? pm me if you have
looked into this id love to get more info...ill even throw a tip your
way for your troubles

that's what I said before about my walmart....It has signs saying "NO
GIFTCARDS" and when I went to use one the little young girl pointed at
the sign and said "sorry....wow,that's a really cool voucher!,let me
call my manager over" That's when I left after pretending to read an
emergency text that my swamp was flooding. :)
Are you saying that
even though those signs are there and the workers don't know how/won't
help on them,that there is a way to do those myself?
Do tell my visually impaired vendor of Artisan Cannabis,DO TELL.....
-
The wally's in my area seem to have conflicting coupon
practices. I had one cashier who wasn't allowed to scan coupons
over $4 without approval from her supervisor. The super didn't
even look at it, just shouted from 4 lanes away to send it
through. That particular trip, that was the only coupon I was
using. Other times I've had no issues or even second glances with
the GC coups.
I hope I find some stores with the self checkout
soon. So far, I'm 0-7 for the ones around me. I know a
couple used to have them but converted them to express lanes w/
cashiers.
-
Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 72 hours.

Here's
the inside dope on how the Blindman scores at Walfart...I grab 2 $25
gift cards, make sure numbers match(doesn't matter what the card is,
meaning I grab a Red Robin card with a Starbucks coupon), and head to
self checkout. Run the transaction like normal, load the cards, scan the
coupons and drop 'em into the slot. Done.
I make sure the
cashier is busy and not watching their screen or me. You can have a pal
create a distraction, then run 2 transactions and walk with $100 in gift
cards. Same thing if it's busy, or the cashier is fucking stupid.
Most
of the time the 'NO GIFT CARDS' signs don't prevent the coupons from
scanning. Plus, I just knock 'em over with my gimp stick, fuck 'em!!
-
Everyone saying the numbers match up: What numbers are you guys
matching up? I don't see any GC's with 76750 or 99366 on the back. They
all have huge numbers on the back.
-
I've got to see how to load the cards,that seems like it is the only roadblock between me and GC freedom town.
Thanks
for the rundown buddy...maybe I will get an insider that works the self
checkout area and slide her a giftcard every once in awhile in exchange
for her complacency/looking the other way with the reasoning that "It
takes too damn long in a regular line and I've got hoes to bang and
donkeys to beat" lol
Peace
-
Everyone
saying the numbers match up: What numbers are you guys matching up? I
don't see any GC's with 76750 or 99366 on the back. They all have huge
numbers on the back.
They
are talking about the first series of 5 numbers found on the UPC of the
giftcard. In some situations you will actually find no UPC on the
giftcard, and rather a long series of numbers, sometimes hidden behind a
tab on VISA giftcards etc, although this is rare, it does happen that
you find these unique cards, all you do is read that long ass series of
numbers until you find 76750 or 99366 somewhere within that string. If
you see those numbers, then you have the right card for that coupon. It
should be easier 90% of the time since you will find the actual UPC
mostly on Giftcards.
Lot's of questions here, which is good, and
we all have our own methods we use and there really isn't one universal
correct practice, there is just good practices and bad practices. Things
vary in every area and so for that reason, I develop my own methods
situationally and realize what works for me is not always going to be
the best strategy for others. Personally what I do is use a live cashier
and approach with only the GC and the coupon. I never use more than one
GC at a time. Other people will go with a GC coupon and other items,
while other people will go with items and multiple giftcard coupons. It
really comes down to what works for you.
Some people use color,
some people use black and white (like myself), some regular paper, some
nice glossy stock paper, some people even use holograms. People ask me
black and white questions like what is the best, and I don't always have
black and white answers, but I will say this, my coupons look amazing
in color and if you have that as an option then you should be printing
all Giftcard coupons in color as they become more legit looking. Hell
other people even use more elaborate methods than described here.
-
I have been trying with the 50 free Visa GC at wally world and
target have not been able to get either of the the UPC numbers to scan. I
tried the coupon with 76750 and one with 99366, at wally world
the gift card had the strip that the cashier pulls off got the stores to
scan em and said if they scan they will take em but no luck with the
scan. The CVS in the area have the same GC with the pull strip is there
certain GC for visa that will work?
-
No
CSM is required at Walmart if you keep the savings under $50.01. The
GC's work at the self checkout. And you can check your coupon with
an app (not sure the name of it) to make sure it will scan before using
it.
Would
you say the GCs are more effective at self checkout or cashier? Also,
when you guys go on GC runs, do you come up with some items, or just go
straight for the GC?
i
normally have a few items with me soda or condoms or something.
that way i didnt invest a lot of time if for some reason i got rejected
but at the same time it wasnt the only reason for my trip

Dude,
if you don't know exactly which one you are suppose to be using, then
you are using them wrong. In your case (and I have only seen this with
VISA and MC, not normal giftcards) You have to take one of those VISAs
and peel the tab back just a little and identify either 99366 or 76750
in that line of numbers. If you do not find those exact 5 digits in the
series, then you have the wrong type of card. Don't check the same type
of card more than once, you'll get your answer the first time.
Again,
if you do not know how to know if the coupon is going to match the gift
card you have, then you don't need to be using these yet. You should
know exactly how to identify which coupon goes with which giftcard.
Usually this only requires matching the first series of five digits in
the UPC on the coupon and the item, but in thise case you have to take
an extra step cause VISA is tricky. If you find a match by using the
strip method, then put that card back on the rack and grab another one,
or atleast that's how I do it.
-
I have been matching the Visa GC Upc under the strip with the proper
coupon What I am saying is that even with the right number the Visa GC
coupon wont work for me. I was wondering what I was doing wrong I have
not had any problems with any of the other GC. I know how to match the
coupon to the item by the UPC codes. Anyway these are awsome coupons
your the best GL ;D
-
I actually don't think I have the Visa coupons. Are they in the ADV package?
and does anyone know anywhere that has the mastercard GC's?

I'm really sorry to interrupt this great thread but I have some important news to announce:
That scumbag Coachella420 has been banned from SR. Good riddance.
Okay... carry on people. Back to some REAL couponing.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
By
tomorrow (possibly tonight, but SR is down) we will release a brand new
collection with over 200+ NEW, NEVER BEFORE SEEN COUPONS! This listing
will sell for $30 and will only be available to purchase by previous
Lotus customers. This means no one can buy this new listing until they
first have purchased and used the Original Collection and this is for
good reason!
For all of you who love when brand new content drops
so you can be one of the firsts to take advantage of it, this listing
is for you! A lot of things people have been asking for have been
incorporated in this new collection and we have even bigger plans for
it's future as we continue to expand on the next chapter in this thread.
This new listing is worth every penny x10 and will not
disappoint, but some of you may ask... Why do we have to buy a new
collection again? Well one answer is that GoldenLotus so far has not
come close to the income PurpleLotus was bringing in. The amount of
funds coming in and time being spent is easily less than minimum wage on
some days. I simply can't continue working if I don't make some kind of
change in order to keep myself in business.
In order to return
myself to previous form, I will have to get myself back up on the front
pages of my respective categories and establish my vending stats to
"over 300". In the mean time, this new listing has many things which
have been asked for over and over again, and the fee will keep things
moving while we rebuild the business model of PurpleLotus which worked
so well. That business model is failing in these conditions.
This is really exciting stuff and I'm 100% confident no one could ever make the claim, "Yeah, this wasn't worth the $30!"
200+ New and Exclusive, never before seen, made for SR only... COUPONS!
To be released early tomorrow. So be ready.
8) 8) 8)

Here is what you missed HEATFan.
and
@pipedude100, sorry I jumped to conclusions. I actually never saw one
at Walmart here, and I know most Targets won't take a $50 coupon. Try a
KMart, that's ripe for the pick'ns now.
-
Sorry to everyone who's messages I did not get to answer today. I
got suddenly invited to grab drinks with this cute chick, so I think
that's much needed for me to do. You'll either get a drunken PurpleLotus
message later tonight, or even better a response from GoldenLotus
tomorrow. 8)

coops as soon as I re-up my SR account with some precious coins. Have a
fun night you lucky bastard.

theres your problem, you tried "A CVS" this is a numbers game.
think
of your scummy friend thats always getting laid. how does he do
it? he goes up to every check that he sees and says lets fuck. hes
gonna get turned down 95 times but that 96th time hes inside,
literally. Point is its a numbers game ive had runs where i had 7
or more turn me down then went on a 12+ spree . 1 is not enough,
ad a zero then report back lol

+1.
This is some true advice. I probably bat a 90% acceptance rate and I
consider myself to be one smooth fuck. If I get rejected 10% of the time
I would imagine "most people" get rejected 50%+ of the time.

Went
to CVS today.. all their GCs didn't have barcode label. Got the first
few numbers off the card.. read '799366...' I'm assuming there are just
different varieties of these?
799366 is
7 99366
which
is 99366 OMFG its that youve hit gold lol. I truly think you need
to put the AC/HC down for a while until you get your hands a bit

Got two bags of Nutro dog food at PETCO today. Got shut down at

GL since SR might be down for at least a few more days, is it
possible to gain access to the AC privately? Perhaps I can transfer some
coin to another wallet of yours. Thankfully I kept my BTC in my own
personal wallet before SR went down.
Let us all know what our short-term payment options are.
Thanks for being awesome!

It's a simple formula, you pm me. I'll front you until SR comes back
up, and then when SR is back up you can go buy the listing.

Thank you GL, I should have PM'ed you first anyway. You're very

need those for finals anyways?

Went out yesterday and got a FoodSaver, a $50 Visa and a $50 Amazon
card. I tried a couple of the American Express ones (Walmart and
Kmart) and got turned down both times. I don't seem to have much
luck with 3-4 to a page credit card coupons. But I got the Amazon
one at Walgreens and the Visa (one of the full pagers) from CVS.
The foodsaver was from Kmart. 3/5 for a quick run last night, so
nothing to complain about. Does anyone have any tricks for the
little cards? Oh, and I wasn't about to find any BP or Mobile gift
cards, where have other people seen these?
-
Went to Office Depot yesterday and got the free logitech mouse (up
to a $75.00 value) from the Hardcore Collection. I have never tried any
of the coupons at Office Depot but this transaction went so flawlessly I
will be adding Office Depot to my list of routine stores I hit up when I
make a couponing trip.
I would even go as far as recommending
beginners to use this coupon at Office Depot to see how easy the HC can
be to pass. I walked in to Office Depot with my full page Logitech mouse
coup, went straight to the mice, felt everyone of them to ensure the
perfect grip for all my computing needs, grabbed the one I wanted
(Logitech® Marathon Mouse M705, Gray/Black) and went straight to the
cashier. She was pleased to help me, scanned the mouse, scanned the
coupon, I paid, she smiled and said have a nice day. There was no
manager approval needed, no questions, no funky looks, all went well.
Results may vary but I was extremely comfortable and was never given the
sketch eye at this Office Depot. Just my report.
-
so it's my understanding there are 3 coupon packs to buy now? I
bought the original for groceries and the advanced for the gift cards,
charcoal, and popsicles lol. I thought the advanced was $30 and I
just realized I payed $50 for it. Is the hardcore still for sale
with different gift cards and how much is that?

There are 4 packs to my knowledge.
1. The Original Collection (OC)
2. The Hardcore Collection (HC)
3. The Lottery Collection (LC)
4. The Advanced Collection (AC)
You
can check GL's signature for prices when SilkRoad goes back up. He also
sells coupon making lessons if you're interested in learning to make
your own coupons for any item you want. Vets, feel free to correct me if
my information is inaccurate.
P.S. GoldenLotus, I don't think it
would be a bad idea to update the original post in this thread with
links to all 4 coupon packs and the list of coupons that are in each
pack. I know people can click on your signature and view your seller
page on SilkRoad, but SilkRoad has been down a lot lately and people are
often too careless/lazy to do that. Updating the original post with
this information would probably answer a lot of noobie questions for
those looking to buy some of these packs. Just a suggestion. One love.
-
I was about the buy the HC when SR went down! Took me some time to get my coins transferred... bad luck!
-
So I learned from Blindman420 and GL/PL about how to "work" the people at the self-checkouts and I gotta say.....WOW.
I
learned from the girl at the station how to scan my own cards and that
if it has a stripe that needs to be swiped and activated,that a rep must
come over and scan their badge and key in some BS,BUT.....if it's just a
barcode(there are many) all you do is scan it,choose the coupon for
payment method and fucking WALK with that bad boy.
God DAMN I love
you little fuckers on here.It's like I have a renewed sense of
worth....To pillage and RAPE all of the walmarts and fuck them just like
they have fucked US for decades.
If I had a some extra BTC/dollars,I'd kick both of you guys a real nice tip.

Have to say that Tarjey really is one of my favorite places to be on
a Tuesday afternoon. Not only is it filled with dozens of MILFS
but every freakin coupon that I used scanned with no issue. Its
really hard for me to contain my smile at the end of each transaction
with these guys and it seems to be part of their training that they now
highlight or circle how much you saved on your receipt and say thank
you! You save $110 today! I'm like shhhhhhhhhh!
LOL
So total today was all from the OC or Lottery and included
Cliff Bars, Horizon, Condoms, Water, TP, Dove, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter,
Flour, Olive Oil, Zone Bars, Atkins Drinks, Sunscreen, Dish Detergent
and so on and so on.......... total in one store was $110 Second store
was $80 and third store was $58 in savings! Total spent was just
about $50 oh and did I mention the MILFS? LOL
Only issue
had was for the One a Day! Not sure if anyone else is having an
issue but this did not scan and thankfully my girl had already sweet
talked the young man and he simply typed in MFG Coupon and $7.00.
All in all a good day!

This
will probably be the most unforgettable summer to date, with close
second 'dutch crystal summer 2012'.. I'm jizzing my pants in
anticipation! ::)
better than "herpes-pallooza 2011"?!?!?!
-
I just wanted to chime in and say I just purchased the first coupons
and will get started today! I had to spam my way to 50 but im
here now...cheers to a great summer couponing everyone! Once I get
some extra coin after saving $$ my first couple rounds couponing I will
go for the advanced one.
btw, GL you are awesome!

to the milf hunter that stalks pregnant moms in the diaper aisle lol:
have
you ever thought of sneaking a trojan coupon in the coupon-pack for
diapers with your phone number on it?? subtle but effective I would
think.
ironically you turn your diaper pack into a trojan horse
with the trojan coupon. theres nothing wrong with fucking an ugly
or fattie every once in a while. everyone needs a fallback
chick. I could see you stalking the diaper aisle nonstop.
it could become a website milf hunter-coupon edition

Pretty
good idea. I could imagine some mothers might see it as a message
to stop having kids. Instead of condoms, how about the passion
lube one? Or maybe paperclip them together.

Has anyone ever heard of the app called SnipSnap?
Apparently, you can take pictures of your coupons and they scan from your phone perfectly!
Haven't used it yet, thoughts?

without testing the program these things come to mind.
No
one doubts the validity of the OC collection, so why rock the
boat. Coupons on the phone is sketchy. from a retail point of
view.
for the AC/HC I dont see anyone taking it from your phone, if they dont have anything to back.
I
will download it but I almost would say snipsnap would forward the
coupon to someone or something. an upload or something to account for
the coupon otherwise you would just use the same coupon over and
over. Ill look into it but I dont see it being anything too
good. IMO it lowers authenticity of the coupon

Anyone have any changes in their WM's self checkouts in the past
week or two? 2 of my areas 3 stores have changed to needing
someone to manually enter any coupon $5 or more, and any coupon over 20
needs a manager approval...annoying as fuck! They have to manually
enter them in regular checkout for $5+ too I noticed this morning...it
says something like "Is coupon amount of $5 off correct? Manually
enter coupon amount." for both their cash register screens and when they
have to come help me at self checkout. I only use self check-out
when I only had a few things because it used to be speedy, not so much
anymore though.
I never use that many coupons there since I'm
usually swinging by on my way home and I prefer Target for bigger trips,
so I gotta figure that they were getting raped by someone else w/these
or similar coupons. Curious if these changes are only happening
here though.
-
Nope....you're not alone,Those little fucking self checkout nazi
checkpoints are popping up at all 5 walmarts around me.I stick to the
one because I know the girl who is mostly there manning the station
helping people and she wants to ride an ogre me thinks.... :)

I'm
seeing the same thing here. Not that the cashiers and CSM's are any
tougher, though. The human element is always the weakest link. :)
I'd
already decided to shift to Target and try Publix and Whole Foods,
Fresh Market, etc. Bummer though about losing the easy gc option. Oh
well, now I'll only snag 9/10 WM gc's, instead of 10/10 and it may take
30-45 seconds longer. ::) Ninety+ % of WM managers are still
ignorant of their no-free-gc policy, anyway. There's a new WM
cashier/sucker born every minute.

Right.
What Wraith is saying is that even escorts can give you resistance, as
we can see from his mentioned statistics. Be like Wraith. Be
persistent.
Be like Wraith. That's going to be a logo I'm
creating. It'll have the nike symbol and everything. Least I
can do in kind.
Hey Wraith you dodgin' me on TorChat? Or
are those 7 (mentioned) above keeping you engaged...er..not
engaged. Just fucking. Yea.

No
they didn't pull it yet...the tooth has been cracked in 3 for months
now and I knew it was in bad shape but not THAT bad,I do a 14 day course
of antibiotics and then get the thing yanked.I actually have a full
mouth of healthy teeth for the most part,The last dentist ruined me for
life and so I didn't go to him for 2 years until my insurance changed
and I picked someone else.
TFB,Thanks for the well wishes bro....As
large as I am,I don't eat fast food,only non gmo organic and only water
to drink.It's a boring diet but It has to be when you are 365lbs and
have health probs ya know?
I did a bit of couponing today so they aren't gonna hold me down no matter what.Now....where did I put the vicodin,lol
Peace guys!

Fuck man, I'm just glad I learned it was a good idea to make friends
anytime you see a huge fucking ogre on your review thread. No one fucks
with me ever since I met shrektastic.
Actually, 420blindman,
the toothbrush idea is a good one. I'll have to get on that, and the
damn refills, those are expensive as hell! We can't make coupons for the
dentist so we might as well do what we can while we can. I will tell
you this much, I'm brushing, flossing, using the mouth wash from the
coupon... all twice tonight. Fuck having a heart attack because I
skipped flossing.
Glad to hear you are ok brother. My go to line
is usually, "Yeah, vicodin makes me sick... but what works is (fill in
DoC here... (that's drug of choice, how come no one ever gets that
acronym?))

Lotus,
I was just thinking of the tooth brushes, and we need coupons.
But..
We should try to get coupons for expansive...... Electric Toothbrushes instead, like the Oral B company.
That way, everyone will be avoiding those dentists.
Ended up buying a 10 pack, last night. ;D ;D ;D

Just checking in again on more results. Only did a tiny run
today, but got another full page $50 Visa from Walgreens. I was at
a Target and had another one on me, so I thought I'd give it a whirl,
knowing that they don't accept anything over $40. They were all
keen to go ahead and process it, except that they have target specific
Visas, not the Vanilla ones. So maybe that nothing over $40 isn't
so strict. Or maybe I just got an uninformed cashier. Either
way, I'm going to go try with some other $50 GC and see what happens.
Hope
your tooth feels better Shrek! I had a friend need 3 emergency
root canals this week and might have to have one of the teeth
pulled. He's been all foggy from the pain pills but still in
pain :-\. Hope your situation isn't as rough. 1 bad
tooth has gotta be "better" than 3, right?
Great idea about the
toothbrush, by the way! I'd love to grab one of those. Then I
can start my mornings off Jettsons style!

Which
rar file exactly? What exact software and OS are you using? When you
open it, do you see the files? Have you tried opening another archive
that has nothing to do with this collection?

I have a problem with the ac pack. I dont know what to do with
all these 100 dollar amex's I'm getting. they won't let you take
the cash out of an atm and I don't really trust selling them online
because I dont know how long they will stay active. I'm also a
little hesitant paying my bills directly with them for obvious reasons.
this
is a serious problem I demand satisfaction or a full refund plus
compensation for lost time and suffering for all that time we spent
today bsing cashiers talking their ears off about all the surveys we
took to earn them.

I already suggested to the wife that escorts are starting to take
credit cards but she didn't seem very impressed with the idea. On
another note I tried to buy a pretzel with a $50 one today and GOT
TURNED DOWN. they said they only took visa and MasterCard. I can't
even buy a fucking dollar pretzel what good are these things might as
well just throw them away.

might use them to get a divorce lawyer and a blow-up doll. that is
if I dont find a meth dealer that takes amex in the next day or two.

Just to double check...is everyone successfully downloading, extracting, and printing these new rar files?
No problems here as well. What seems to be the issue?
They just won't extract after downloading. Or if they do extract, nothing happens.
I'm
not a software guru, but have you made sure it's unzipping to the
correct file? Hopefully someone who knows more about this can chime
in.....anyone?
Win7,
TAILS. There is no unzipping a file that isn't zipped.
Anyways, Wraith "captain save a pc illiterate hoe" got me some zip
files. Now TAILS is malfunctioning. Man do I suck at
computers. I always tell people that I am a living testiment to
how easy it is to use SR. I'm even using PGP, now. If anyone
wants my key you can email me at legalcounsel@tormail.com
-

Which
rar file exactly? What exact software and OS are you using? When you
open it, do you see the files? Have you tried opening another archive
that has nothing to do with this collection?
The AC is a different format than OC and HC that PL used to sell. I guess GL just isn't the same guy... :)

I
have a problem with the ac pack. I dont know what to do with all
these 100 dollar amex's I'm getting. they won't let you take the
cash out of an atm and I don't really trust selling them online because I
dont know how long they will stay active. I'm also a little
hesitant paying my bills directly with them for obvious reasons.
this
is a serious problem I demand satisfaction or a full refund plus
compensation for lost time and suffering for all that time we spent
today bsing cashiers talking their ears off about all the surveys we
took to earn them.
stripclub LOL Baller style haha. have some tittied rubbed in your face for me.
They
take gift cards there? Dude.... I feel like I've been cheated out
of my virginity by wearing a rubber. Or something like
that. You catch my drift.

Yes I am pissed off. lol.

I picture wraithe making it rain coupons in the club, and he decides
which bitch he wanted to fuck raw... I should add this into the basic
tips on couponing. DO NOT USE THEM TO FUCK STRIPPERS OR PROSTITUTES
UNPROTECTED! I mean damn, I made a coupon for that.
Sorry bud, I am trying to get onto SR to get the order, I'll just message it to you on the forum now.

GL's Coupon thread is now sex-ed + couponing.

What's up my fellow peers and colleagues of the Lotus University?
Guess who's back, back again, Bio's back, tell a friend....
Just
wanted to say whats up and give some karma to everyone on this
pizzaagee. Yeow! I gotta get this AC so I can get back to work!
Wat do you all think of this for putting in sig?

Copy & Paste if you'd like. Even though that shits trademarked by me. lol Hope you're alll doing well!

Do any of you coupon-ers use a barcode scanner APP or anything?
-
LOL been a while for me too, I'm certain this AC, like any other listing by GL, is printed gold.
Unfortunate
that I get a late start since my area also gets hit hard and fast while
I prefer the slow and steady approach but to each his own and ¡Viva la
Revolución!

I think the lotus' endorsed ios app is called coupon decoder.

Had a fun shopping weekend. The OC went fine, except one Target the
manager would not take most of the coupons. No big deal, went to a
different one down the street. We got 3 Macy's cards, 1 shell gas card, 1
Gamestop $25 card from the AC collection. All at CVS's. Used the new
$40.00 Turtle Beach coupon at target with no issue. Fun Times.
-
First few runs were awesome. All of them were at Walmart, only issue
was when I had a coupon larger than the price, but the cashier would
just put it in manually same as the price. Small loads, 2 coupons at a
time, but tonight probably going to do a slightly larger run....maybe 5
coupons. Or, if I feel particularly dangerous....6 coupons!
Self
check out works fine in my area still, can't wait to grab the AC at some
point and try those gas cards. Those are the ones I am looking forward
to the most, as I am perfectly capable of expending 70+ dollars of gas a
week.
-
Damn, I don't check in for a few days and the most recent thread I
see when I popped in last night was "Also....DO NOT fuck teenage
pregnant chicks raw." I NOPED out pretty quick fearing I'd
accidentally clicked onto some hidden CP part of these forums, or that
wraite and PL had found their way to Thailand. Checking back now
I'm glad to see things haven't devolved quite that far.
Anyway,
just wanted to say I just got the lessons. I was a little
concerned that the instructions would be complicated, or that the
process would be incredibly drawn out, especially after glancing at
those instructions that coachella420 posted freely on a thread
somewhere. But that's not the case at all. I could have done
this shit in middle school. PGL wrote out the guide to the point
where I'm pretty certain I'm not going to have a single question.
I'll probably overlook something, but this seems pretty straight
forward. If you've got the mental capacity to set up a modem, I'm
pretty certain you can follow his instructions.
Thanks again Lotus!

I'm back. I needed a break from captchas. I couldn't
communicate at all because of them during our technical difficulties, so
I went on vacation.(i.e.-shopping)
I am pleased to announce I
have some interesting news. I noticed several people on here
saying to use the Visa GC's right away or they get killed(the GC's not
the people using them, lol). I have had a free one killed within
48 hours(cause I wanted to see for myself, it was only a $25) that I got
on a Saturday and was no longer working on Monday. HOWEVER, I
have had another $50 visa now for thirty one days and it hasn't been
canceled.
Why?
(The following is my opinion)
I
think because when you use a 20 off 25 or a 40 off 50 visa coup, they
are unable to cancel them BECAUSE YOUR MONEY IS ON THEM!!!!(you put on 5
for a $25, 10 for a $50)
***DISCLAIMER*** (I may be wrong, I have been wrong before.)
If
they are unable to cancel them because we put our own funds on, I'd
personally rather pay so I can use it anytime and not worry about it
getting canceled.(I'd also like a $90 off $100 coup ;D ) I've done
this with both the $25 and $50 and they're both at full available
balances on the website. Any questions, thoughts or suggestions
are welcomed and appreciated.
@GLPL but not on the DL-
What ever happened to the HC? Right after I got it a few expired,
and I was gunning for food savers to pass out to family members.
Is it going to be resurrected/updated, or has the AC taken it's place
and I'm sol? :(
-
Nope, you're fucked and I have decided just to sit back and collect
money and stop caring exactly what it is I stand for and what I'm doing
here...
HAHA j/k, that will never happen, but the HC has been
set aside as I figure out a couple things. Honestly I have become
procrastinate with it because of other projects, but I plan to have it
fully up to date soon and at that moment I will relist it. I refuse to
sell it as long as it needs work, so I'll complete that work first and
then relist it. I'm not about to make some money until I do right by
things. It is what it is, but it certainly is NOT retired and will make a
strong return soon. I have no intent on having just an OC and an AC.
There needs to be a resurrection of the HC and it is coming soon. It
just has taken the back seat to a long ass list of priorities lately.
One
thing is for sure, I will never sell out. The money keeps me going, but
I'll never been in this for just the money. I would fail miserably if I
was.

Hold
up. You just released the AC with 200+ new ones in it, run the
coupon lottery, and work your @ss off keeping us little folk happy and
you're calling yourself a procrastinator? Nah. If anything
you're just clearing your head of stale ideas in favor of fresh ones.

I've
never had a VISA go blank on me and I've used more than one a month+
after I got it. I always get the free cards and always $50,
too. So I'm not so sure about your reasoning. I think it
might just be the luck of the draw.
Also, I just got a food saver
last week. There's a full page coupon in one of the packs that
doesn't have an expiration date. Not sure which one it's in
though. But if you have them all, dig through 'em and you'll find
it.

So glad to be back. I missed you guys!

When was there a food saver coupon with no expiration date? Wouldn't that look sketchy as (expletive).

Anyone
have any experience with the amazon GCs? Still a little hesitant to use
em under my name.. I figure spreading em over multiple accounts would
be ideal. Also, when you guys make runs, is your preferred currency
cash?
Also, when you guys make runs, is your preferred currency cash?
this is why I said you needed to go back to kindergarten and work on the OC.
your
seriously asking if you should be using cash? WTF have you been using?
food stamps? your other alternative is a debit/credit card that
links to you which has been stated in this forum 100s of times as being
stupid
for the record YES ONLY USE CASH

I prefer to do all my shopping in BTC if possible. Actually I should
open up a shop on SilkRoad where I resell everything I make a coupon
for. I could purchase everything from all of you at 50% of retail and
then resell it on here for 75% of retail. Now we could do all of our
shopping not only by mail but exclusively in BTC. There is one thing I
won't do though... accept coupons!
wraithe might be a little
rough around the edges at times, but he generally speaks the truth. He
tends to talk down to people and think extremely highly of himself. This
a product of people always telling him how awesome he is. We should
possibly back off of the wraithe praise for awhile to allow his ego to
deflate. I'm not the one to be talking about other people and their big
egos, but wraithe is like a monster if you are willing to feed him. I
find a nice blend of insults and praise goes a long way with him.
Wraithe sucks, but he is very fucking good at it! See?
-
So I haven't tuned into this thread in a while since it's circle
jerk resurrection but is the HCC trash now? because I bought it like two
months ago and I'm just about to go on my first runs with it but now it
seems the ACC has taken it's place?

its called tough love. when backthatassup is backing that ass
up for Bubba the 350lb cellmate of his he is gonna say damn I wish
wraithe was more of a dick to me maybe then I would of listened and
wouldnt be getting passed around like the trojan condoms from lotus'
coupon pack
its similar to seeing a dude with a hot ass bitch
when hes a virgin, then she ditches his loser ass and dude is all like
wtf am i gonna do. so he starts fucking fat chicks and everyone is
like wtf dude had that smoking hot lil spinner and now hes dating a
krispy kreme model. dude could of kept and tapped that hottie had
he got his feet wet properly with whores,escorts, and the occasional
pity/shame/drug addicted fuck. but he didnt do that and now hes going in
reverse.
u gotta crawl before u walk
u gotta grab the peanut butter condoms and cigarettes before u go for the sex swing and lifesize dirk diggler doll, ya feel me?

you didnt defraud amazon. so your giftcards in their eyes are legit.
you
defrauded CVS(etc) so using a debitcard at cvs poses a risk, using one
for amazon doesnt because cvs would have to bring in a loss prevention
specialist and then he would have to make a claim to amazon that this
card was fraudulently received and to release any info involving the
use. in the meanwhile you posted on craigslist buying gift cards
so theres no proof you didnt buy from a dude and theres no way to prove u
were aware it was fraud. not to mention cvs isnt gonna bring in Columbo
for $100 in gift cards, their financial structure is set up in a way
where they already factored the loss in and raised prices to
accommodate. If anyone worked retail and had to go over
shrink/loss reports you would understand they have a certain percentage
of theft that is allowed. It went as far as if we knew we were
gonna be under but not so under it would get us an award, we would allow
employees to take soda and candy bars etc because we already paid into
the system.
tl;dr
Amazon doesnt give 2 shits about you, they got their money
cvs is pissed u fucked them but aint gonna do shit as long as u dont make it easy for them

A few months ago in the old thread there were a few people saying they used credit cards with these coupons all the time. :)
I've
only made the mistake 4 times (out of hundreds of transactions). I

A few months ago in the old thread there were a few people saying they used credit cards with these coupons all the time. :)
I've
only made the mistake 4 times (out of hundreds of transactions). I
don't think it will ever come back to bite me, since it was just a few
dollars worth. Class B misdemeanor if you just take the monetary value
of it all, although I'm not sure if that's how the law really works in

it only takes once, let me tell you a story.
fade
back to the past lets say somewhere around the 70s or 80s era big hair
big bush. Dude is at a bar and meets a chick, chick and guy hit it
off go back to dudes place. chick says shes on the pill and he blows
inside her JUST ONCE. out of hundreds of loads in his life.
Turned out chick was never on birth control and lied to dude.

hey guys, I was just curious about these coupons in the original and
advanced packages....when I open up the files the coupons are pretty
big with only one on a page. It looks like I can resize and/or
photoshop more than one to a page, a lot of them look like I can fit 3
or 4 per page. Would this be ok to do? I just wanted to save
paper. My main concern was that the quality of the coupons would
probably go down with the smaller size and also if the gift card coupons
can/should be resized to fit more per page? I want to maximize my
success rates with these.

Wraite-I knew the x small condoms were a joke and plan b were a joke. I
simply don't request either of the two because I rely on the pull out
method...I need to stop, I know as you're example above. I'm pretty sure

Ok,
thanks wraithe...I just mapped out all the local cvs/walmart/kmarts in
my area and am about to go make my rounds. I will report back with
how I do. I have used the regular coupons a few times but this
will be the first time I am trying the gift cards, wish me luck!

Hey guys, just coming on here to talk about my recent events with the AC.
So
I have a Walmart and Walgreens that's about 15 minutes away from here, I
show up at the Walmart with some 2 $25, one for Applees, one for
Buffalo Wild Wings, and a $100 visa, the Applebees goes through, so does
the Wild Wings then the store manager came over for the last one and
wouldn't except it.
We went to Walgreens next and sadly the lady said she 'heard about these' and they're a scam.
We then made our way to Econto Foods, tried out the $50 gas card and they wouldn't except it.
A few days later we head back to the same Walmart, score 2 more of the Applebees and Buffalo's.
The
next weekend (last weekend) I decide to go for a long hall, I marked a
bunch of K-Marts, Walmarts, Walgreens in the area and headed out.
-My
first stop was K-Mart where I tried to get through with a $100 American
Express and $100 Mastercard, sadly the manager came over and they
wouldn't take it.
-Then headed to Walgreens, the numbers didn't match
on the American Express Cards so I used got a $50 Amazon and $50 Best
Buy, they both worked fine.
-Stopped at another Walgreens and the
lady said that she knew about these and they're a scam. Two more people
came up and were like yeah we've been warned about these. (I'm guessing
an e-mail went out to some Walgreens stores? I read about that earlier
in the forum and found it out first hand.)
-After that I show up at another Walmart with one American Express $100 card. They wouldn't except it.
My
GF got tired and we decided to go home, but what I learned so far is
that the $25 Gift cards go through fine. I had success with a couple of
the $50s but they're a bit more sketchy about them. I haven't had
success with a $100 one yet but I'm hoping soon.
I think Walgreens had a e-mail or something go out so I'd be careful when you go there.
If anyone has any hints for me to get by with the $100 ones lemme know. Also haven't tried out any CVS yet.
Thanks GL, already up a good $250 on the AC pack.
-
Still sounds like a good run!
Did you use self checkout in all those? Did you do more than 1 per transaction?
-
ok, so I had a decent first run today with the AC....I scored
overall 6 different $50 amex cards!!! I spent a good 3 or 4 hours riding
around town stopping at kmarts, walmarts, cvs, and office max.
I
scored 2 amex from kmarts, 1 from walmarts, and 3 from office
max. I only tried to use one coupon at each store to not raise any
suspicion and it worked with some perseverance.
There were
definitely some places out there that spotted them right away and said
"oh no we don't accept coupons for giftcards, etc". I tried a
couple of rite aids and they immediately said no, mumbling something
about we got a warning about these....other people at the office max
were like "wow this is a nice coupon!". I think office max was my
sweet spot today with 3 out of 4 stores accepting the card.
I
ended up going and filling up my gas tank, got lunch at panera and also
bought some fresh kicks!! all from the cards, thanks golden
lotus!!! I still have some leftover I will sit on until when I
need them. I might head back out either tonight or tomorrow
morning to see what else I can try. All in all it was about a 60%
or more success rate at the different stores I stopped by. Some
just didnt have the correct serial numbers on them so I would move on.
I need to start trying some of the food coupons next and also check out some walgreens...I hadnt tried them yet.
EDIT:
I also wanted to mention that the office max made me pay the $4.95
activation fees at each store, which was fine with me...what was weird
was that at one kmart they waived the activation fee but at the other
place they made me pay it like at office max. any ideas why?

bro, I now know how you feel...I was kind of exhausted by the afternoon

I noticed the AC is back to .rar files. Am I clicking the
correct link? When they were zips I was zipping around town
cleaning shop. Way to go on these UPC adjustments, guys!
-
Still sounds like a good run!
Did you use self checkout in all those? Did you do more than 1 per transaction?
Normally I came up with 2 coupons but for different things. And I used the self checkout at all the Walmarts.
-
So I just bought the OC and decided to try it out at a nearby CVS. I
pulled out the Cottonelle coupon that indicated $8 off any 12+ pack of
toilet paper. CVS was also having one of their sales, with the
Cottonelle 18-pack marked down to $9. However, when I went to the
self-checkout, the machine rejected the coupon multiple times. I'm not
sure what's going on, as I thought the OC was supposed to be pretty safe
and reliable.
I don't really know what to look for regarding the UPC codes either, so my apologies if that was the reason it didn't work.
Additionally,
I've noticed that GL sometimes provides updates to the coupons (since
most of them expire in July or thereabout). Do I just access the same
link that I was provided and download whatever seems new on there? Does
he notify us, or should I just check randomly?

GL
is usually really good about notifying us about updates, and will let
us know usually a couple days ahead of time to get us really
excited. ;D I also had an issue with the cottonelle
coupon before, and what I was told to do is scan the GS1 Databar instead
of the UPC.(If I am wrong feel free to correct me, as this is what has
worked for me in the past)(I just got TP a few days ago) Hope this
helps. Good shopping to all!!!
*** If your looking through
this forum trying to decide whether or not to buy, just follow your
instincts. They led you here, and you trusted them enough to
believe that this is possible. It is possible, and by ordering you
too can share in the savings of not paying out the ass for everything
anymore. I personally can attest to over $2000+ in savings since I
joined two months ago. And that's just on groceries!!!!
This is the best decision I ever made! ***

Just got the AC collection and took 2 $25 gift card coupons to a
local big chain grocery store(not walmart). Took the gift cards and
coupons to the register and asked if I could use these here. The
checkout person said hold on leme check. She went to the front and came
back 2 mins later and said sorry we cant take them, the manager is
comming she can tell you why. about 30 seconds later the manager came
up to me , gave me that look, and said "I dont know where your getting
these from, but we cant take them. I can have loss prevention call you
and tell you why. dont take these to any other (name of store)" and gave
the coupons back to me. I saw she had a photo copy of the coupons too.I
was like no thats ok they dont have to call me, acted confused, and
walked out. I parked far enough towards the back of the lot so cameras
cant get my plate. As i was pulling out I saw the manager by the
door trying to write down a plate/vehicle discription. Got a lil
parinoid and went home incase she called the cops, didnt want to try any
other places. I live in a large city, dont think i will have much luck
with the AC collection. Dont wanna try these at walmart cuz my OC works
there fine and i dont want to be on the look-out there too.
Anyone else have any bad experiences like this?

HaHa
Same thing Happened to me there. I posted about it somewhere in this
thread. Do not use in supermarkets, they will deny you and give you
problems. Stick to Wall-mart and Target, CVS, Wallgreens...
-
wow I'm amazed they already have a copy of the AC
-
they dont have the AC i believe they have the last update from the
HC. lotus used the same template as he did with AC. and albertsons
got a bulletin from a retail watchdog using a copy of the HC gift
card. did it have any of the ACs on it? did u get a really good
look? i know you are new so theres margin of error here for which pack
it came from as hc had similar ones in it but AC had the 76750 versions
and 99366 whereas HC had just some 99366
-
So is that why the HC got taken down and hasn't come back?
Not really certain what was in the HC, as I'm new here too, which is why I'm asking.
-
i do have the AC collection...with the 76750*** 339933*** coupons.
got every collection EXCEPT the HC......i like to stick to smaller come-ups....low radar.

Sorry, ment to say the manager had photocopied my coupons.

ahhhh shit. You gotta try your best and not let them take the
coupons anywhere. Tell them "it's not a problem..I'll contact the
manufacture, company,etc." ANYTHING to keep them from taking that coup
out of your site! How many of them did he photocopy and how do you know
they did this?

nothing
i could do without seeming suspicios. the casheir wasnt sure and just
went 30ft away to get approval she wasnt sure. The manager was
holding the photocopy when he came up to me. thankk god LP wasnt in the
building i suppose. i dont wanna say what coupons.....less details less
chance it can be traced back to me (considering just ANYONE can read the
forums) but they were the ones ive seen pass at other stores
according to the forums.
when they(cashier) do ask at walmart (i
always do under $50 to avoid csm) i just say I do a shit load of
surveys, aquireing credits and buy the coupons with the credits.

I had my first problem @ wallyworld this last week. Was just using
the OC. I'm in a major city, downtown. Went to the burbs, kinda ghetto
area. Had about 6 items, 5 were coupon and was denied by the checker for
each. She stated the coups were fakes and that she wouldn't accept
them. Pulled out a binder at first with similar looking coups but from
what I could see for the 15 secs she had it open it was pages of photo
copied coups and a page of a long list probably from the watchdog
website. I did not see my coups in the photocopy and I did not see mine
on her list. However she didn't have it open long enough for me to
really see which tells me it wasn't open long enough for her to see.
Probably just being a bitch. She was young too. She also tried to keep
them stating I didn't need them back because they were fake. I denied
this, said the survey thing and insisted she was just pulling this crap
to steal from me and use them herself! She handed them back real quick
after that! I went the next day to my local target and all was well.
Passed off about a dozen coups.

Sadly,
I have no CVS in my area, lest I would have already raped and pillaged
their village. I'm not sure if their machines read the GS1 or not.

anyone care to expand on this topic? Or does anyone know for sure
which stores are able to scan data bars instead of having a csr
manually punch them in? I know wal-marts in the midwest scan GS1
databars from personal experience.***

Guys, I expect some in return. I'm a sucker for a 6-pack! And I don't mean beer...unless you got it free thanks to GL.

mini dress or like you said the push up bra - with some tight jeans,
and hit the male clerks every time. If I can't find a dumb guy, its
younger girls who don't give a shit. Apparently this one did. oh well.
GL any chance of some coupons for paint balls, or a go-pro cam?

+1 LunaLove. I hit up women everytime (below 40 and especially late
30s-they are pissed they are turning 40 soon) but below that I get
dressed up clean and fresh. No hat, usually manscape, put on my nice
necklace and a baller watch. It's the cologne that really makes them
hot. LOL. Wear a nice perfume...guys like that and avoid the cocky
lookin tools.
That's awesome you though about a coupon for
paintballs as I was thinking the same thing! I can get the upcs to PL
for Marbalizers, Valken Grafitti, and some other stuff that dicks sells,
like RPS Advantage. The good shit. Go Pro cam is also a great idear.
Maybe like ninety nine off?
@skrillyskrill- wasn't trying to
give you any crap man...just wanted to make the community aware. I
understand now and I wasn't asking which ones (I'm not new to this game)
I said "how many" bc it would suck if there were a good amount.

when they(cashier) do ask at walmart (i
always do under $50 to avoid csm) i just say I do a shit load of
surveys, aquireing credits and buy the coupons with the credits.
pm lotus which ones they were so he can modify them to not look like that
Will do.

hey all,I'm back again after another medical issue that is fine
now....hope everyone is having a great time fucking all the big
corporations out of their merchandise for pennies on the dollar,looks
like all I missed was some GC drama....which I already experience unless
my "sweetie" is working the self check at WM,all the other times I use
CVS that is 7 miles away from me,so I can only do it once in awhile.
Have a great weekend and get to raping and pillaging!
Peace

WB shrek..
what ever happen to joey.. glitch and justbob??
haha,
some of you guys get really paranoid with the coupons. I know it's good
to be overly cautious than not at all but still.... make a purchase
from 420.. you'll be a little more at ease.
Anyways just chiming in, happy couponing to everyone. More new faces than old.

HAHA
I love this post so fucking much! He said "Joey... glitch and justbob" I
miss the fuck out of Glitch and Justbob too. I do stay in contact with
Joey and consider him a top adviser to the coupon movement. He just
hasn't been active on our forum, but he very much is still involved and
still a contributing factor in our cause. I'll try to see if I can get
him to make an appearance soon. Bob and Glitch though... I miss those
dudes. They came out of nowhere and made a profound impact on all of us
at the time. I hope they are both doing great!
And fucking
shrek... I love this dude too. He spends a few nights in the hospital
and suddenly we are all willing to do whatever it takes to make him feel
better. Then what happens next time we hear from him? He is having
another medical issue? I would be sick too if I was shrek. Everytime I
have an issue, my people look out for me. I would from that point on be
constantly sick and in need of help. HAHA JK I'm extremely happy for the
ones we do have left in the absence of others. Without guys like
JustBob and Glitch, we still have some of the greats of all time. Like
PurpleLotus, shrek, 420blindman, wraithe, and many more of us. And then
there is me... GoldenLotus. Know this... I'm not sitting here idle and
enjoying this wonderful thing. I'm grinding as hard as anyone in
multiple areas. Some of the things I have in the works are going to
change the way we do business here on SR. I'm always pushing and always
moving on to the next chapter... sometimes to a fault, because I'm
willing to risk it all just to be sure no one else has to risk anything.
I haven't let anyone down yet, after more than a year I still
produce great content and I still am spending much of my time in new
areas that we have yet to explore. Right now I have my hands deep in a
new area and while everything I do proves to be a risk, I'm getting
better and better at making sure we all reap the rewards. Everything I
do is with the intent of making this entire operation better. One of
these days, I'm going to take a risk and have a very large payout to us
all. Until then, I'll keep taking risks for as long as they let me.

WHY IN THE WORLD...!!!
ok so im sitting here with every single coupon u have made.. they work fine..
but the gift card ones.. .. why the hell is it that u have made ALMOST EVERY SINGLE COUPON FREE!!!
AS IN FREE GIFT CARD!!! WHY?
I
HAVE SEARCHED SOOOO MANY COMPANY'S COUPON POLICIES AND THEY ALL SAY THE
SAME THING.. THEY TAKE MANUFACTURERS AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT FOR A FREE
ITEM.. AS IN YOU PAY 5 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING WORTH 50.. OR 5 DOLLARS
FOR A 25 DOLLAR GIFT CARD..
so all the coupons i bought are from
the start void.. if they were to look in there hand books they would
see they are not allowed to take those gift card coupons.. .
so
why did i write this? cuz i would like u to make a new set that is
nothing but 5 dollars off or 10 dollars off or whatever...
i
know u have made them before i have some but i mean damn u should really
think about that.. EVERY COMPANY I LOOKED FOR HAD THAT IN THERE
POLICY.. SO.. HAVE FUN GUYS.. I SITLL LOVE THESE BUT IT WOULD MAKE SENCE
TO MAKE THEM LIKE 5 DOLLARS OFF AND SHIT..

You
knew what you were buying... since it's clearly printed in the listing,
so my question is... why the fuck you buy it if you felt this way? I
appreciate your concern, and your input, but what you should know is
that we got this shit over here. We got this shit. The day someone buys
one of my listings and doesn't make their money back ten fold, well then
let those be the people who come on my thread talking in caps and shit.
We are listening, and working hard, but don't come at me like that when
you knew exactly what you were buying, and you got every fucking cent
you paid for it. I don't plan to start letting you down in the future
either.
-
Anyone on Torchat right now? I'm bored as fuck right now, but I
never spend any time making coupons once I start drinking. Msg me.
-
Did the price of the AC recently go up? I thought it was $30... just
reloaded my account today with that amount because I thought it was
what I needed... meh.
-
I wouldn't call it recently... it was more than a week ago after
announcing the $30 price was just a very limited offer to get it
introduced and some reviews on it. Hit me up in PM on SR, I'm going to
work something out with you. I'd rather me have to wait on the extra
coin than you have to wait to get the coupons, HEATFan.

You're the man. PMing you now.

Thanks!
I'm having a ton of fun, and always prefer FREE anything over paying
for it. Use the fucking brain in your head, and come up with a story
line that will have the cashier on your side, and feel like they want to
give to card to you. I say shit like I received the coupon as a
birthday gift, and if it doesn't scan, which is hardly never, I get
really dejected and act like I can't believe that my Grandma would give
me a fake coupon. Mothers Day is a great excuse. Just say you're out
running errands for your pregnant wife, and she asked you to use the GC
coupons that she received from all the Mothers Day cards her friends and
family gave her. Say some shit like how you use to get lottery tickets
as gifts, but kept losing, so your friends thought that giving you some
coupons would be a better.
Or just keep whining, and maybe you can get someone to wipe your ass as well.
p.s.
And now that you've read everyone's policies, it shouldn't be hard
figuring out what to use where. Trust me, by just glancing at the stores
policy, you probably know more about it then the cashiers.
-
I gotta say, the only company in my area that actually sticks to
their no free gift card policy all the time is Wallgreens. I've
been turned down individually at all of the others but not
consistently. I rarely do the $100 anymore and stick mainly with
the $50s & $25s. I'm actually at the point where I get almost
100% acceptance because I'm not pushing high dollar cards. You
just have to find what denominations and purchasing style work for
you. On the occasion I go after the $100s, I slap on a hologram
and make up a story about I do web advertising for the site and they
gave me the option of $50 cash or $100 card. I know enough about
the subject I can answer any question they throw at me.
For
purchasing style, I go in after work in business casual, looking like an
upstanding citizen, sometimes chat with the cashier but always looking
& acting happy. For giftcard transactions I always buy
one or two things in the same transaction w/out a coupon. I spread
out who I hit & don't hit the same place more than once per month.
The whole point is experiment with how you buy & find what works for you.
On
a side note, anybody else notice self-checkouts at Target? I
found a couple in my area with them. They still needed a cashier
override for the gift card but she didn't even pay attention to why she
was overriding.

@thelorax
Dude/ette,
something you need to also keep in mind is that 95% of employees have
never read there companies policy. I was at three places yesterday
and one even had a sign(wal-greens), and they still ran it
anyway. It's all about how you handle people. Get a cashier
on your side, and they'll even fight the manager for you! (been there,
done that, still walked out with GC's)
-
whatever dude i wrote that drunk as hell last night
idk why the fuck ur cussing at me lotus wtf is wrong with u?
im simply stating a fact.. thats A FACT.. thats in there policies.. say what u want but its true..
all of them being 100% free is just simply another reason for a manger to say we dont take those..
thats
really all i was trying to say.. of course i didnt know that when i
bought the coupons.. but even soo i wouldve still bought them..
i like ur coupons.. no need to get hard on the darkweb..
ur
coupons are tight.. i HAVE BOUGHT ALL OF THEM.. wtf u talking crazy to
me for? i paid u money for ur product and was just really.. saying
something to help everyone.. so all u guys get mad if u want idc.. i
like lotus and his products and i was only trying to help maybe the way i
wrote it came off dfferent but whatever... cocaine is a hell of a
drug...
b e z dude ill delete that last post but still
i think it would be cool to have some more that cost money just to see
if it works better..
you guys .. are something else.. niggas tries
to come on here and give some feedback and some help on how to get these
to work BETTER and u all talk crazy..
-
whatever dude i wrote that drunk as hell last night
Haven't you learned from the ol' PL- Never drink and post! It's not a legitimate excuse for anything really.
Officer: "You know why I pulled you over?"
Driver: "I swearr to drunk I'm nottt god"
-
Yeah I suggested that a while back (paying $5-10 for a $50 or
something) hoping the idea gets traction. thelorax just has a special
way of communicating, I watched the movie, I still don't get it :)
Anyway,
while this will easily fool the machines, I now think it will be harder
to pass the scrutinizing cashier since in most back stories you're more
likely to have gotten a free one than a "subsidized one".
-
I've had no problem with getting ten to twenty gcs (the best
ones-use your imagination, I dont get into detail here) and this has
been a god send from lotus. thank you so much man...I've been able to
help struggling family members, friends, even homeless people with these
and/or what I purchase. I donated like 50 cans of food to the local
women's clinic. Do as you please with these but if you're getting even
1...you should be thankful. More than that...give back to others that
don't have an opportunity we do.
Preach! lol
-Bio

^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's what I'm talking about! not sure what the clinic would do with canned food but giving is as good as getting!
I hit up a soup kitchen last weekend with extras I've been saving for a month.
This won't last forever so bulk up on rl karma while you can :)

Well
at the time they were actually doing a "canned food drive" for the
women's shelter which comprises of a lot of poor single mothers who have
been abused by their partners or have had drug issues, etc. I brought a
bunch of those little baby food cans...and I also picked up a few
things of folic acid bottles for the pregnant women (they need their
folic acid!) Other than that various cans for the poverty stricken
groups. +1 Karma to you too handsoap and yes, I believe real karma is
indeed amongst us IRL.

Banged everyone with good +KARMA starting from post 885 to 908.. ;D
Fuck
i even have "HOT and COLD" bags that help keep cold items frozen for up
to 3 hours while driving around... Specially made for my horizon milk..
-
lol @ thelorax: I was simply responding to you the same way you were
talking to me. I had no hard feelings over it. I wasn't even mad and
knew you were trying to help, but I decided to respond in the same way
to you. You were yelling and cursing, so that's why I did. it's no big
deal, we all get drunk and post shit... I'm a shining example of that
and also had a few drinks last night. It's no problem. As far as your
idea is concerned, we very much are listening and I'd expect you will
see it more and more from now on. the problem is as soon as I make that
shift, I get people complaining and whining that there are no more FREE
coupons... it's a lose/lose for me, but no matter what I'll be putting
out what I feel is the best bet for us all.

-
Oh god damnit!!!!....you guys better stop with this nonsense arguing
before I stand my sick ass up and start bodyslamming people,LOL!
I hit a shitload of people with good karma and hope all you bickering dickheads have a fan-fucking-tastic weekend!
I'm
happy as a pig in shit right now,I just returned from the store and
saved 112.00 off my order(thank you PL) and ordered some of blindmans
awesome ass weed to boot! Whoooo Hooo!
See you guys soon,
PEACE!
-
lol @ shrek, no worries, all is well. We have actually been planning
to do exactly what Lorax is asking for, it's the way he asked that I
objected to, but none the less we are now working on addressing this
immediately since we already had it planned and already knew what people
wanted.
-
I finally found a way to never have to print out coupons again.
A way to use these coupons with no evidence and no paper trail.
A way that requires almost no interaction from cashiers. No more profiling.
Go
to the self checkout lane and after you scan your
coupon.................DON'T put it in! Just keep it! I have done this
dozens of times now.
If you want to be really hardcore import
the entire coupon collection to your phone (preferably a 2nd phone with
no service) and just use it to scan.
I have now reformatted the
coupons so that its just the barcode with a picture of the product above
it. Perfect size for an ipod/phone/tablet/whatever....
P.S.
YMMV. Different scanners have different strengths. Different devices
have varying screen intensities. Not all scanners will scan from a phone
screen. Worst case scenario you have to use a paper coupon......but you
KEEP it. lol.
-
i rather put the coupon in and keep print it at home with free paper
and ink, you don't know if someone watching self checkout lane from
distance or upstair.

Anyone
on Torchat right now? I'm bored as fuck right now, but I never spend
any time making coupons once I start drinking. Msg me.
I never get a reply from you, GL! I eventually stopped saying hi lol
-
Just to double check...are you guys still able to download the .rar
files? I stopped being able to download coupons when the old zip
file format ceased being used.
Also, the stores in my area have
completely stopped taking free gift card coupons. Will this
last? I'm not sure. Perhaps when new employees turn over,
that policy won't be enforced. In the mean time, has anyone else
experienced this?
-
Yeah Tor chat I only answer if I'm actually at the keyboard. For
example I'll pass out and forget it's even on then miss whatever
messages I received while sleeping.
Of course if you have gotten
a huge amount of FREE giftcards in your area then you are going to
start receiving diminishing returns on your success rate. Yes, they very
much still work, but if you score thousands of dollars worth of
giftcards in a small radius and then suddenly it becomes tougher, it's
likely not anything wrong with the coupons as much as it is that your
local area has now become saturated with them because of your own usage.
Will this last? As long as I'm here, we will be coming up with new and
innovative ideas that makes sure we continue to go as strong over the
next year as we have this past year. I try my best to stay ahead of the
curve and deliver the best options I can. So yes, as long as I'm
working, this will last. "This" meaning our community and success.
TheAdvocate:
No one besides you has had any issues with the rar files, you just need
to find out a program that will extract rar files on your operating
system. I don't know of anyone else who uses that OS. In the future I
will be sure to stay consistent with ZIP files only. Catch me again soon
on TorChat or just PM me and I'll figure out something for you. I won't
let this stop you from using those particular coupons.
Always
send messages you want me to read for sure to my SR inbox. Yes, the
giftcards still work fine, I'm not discouraging these reports from
customers who have had large successful runs but are now slowing down,
but I want them to be fully understood by new readers so I can answer
fewer emails a day asking me the exact status of the GC coupons and if
they will work for people. I don't mind answering any questions from
current customers or potential buyers, but I feel like if I try to clear
things up better on this thread then I won't be answering the same
questions as much in PMs.
AND we are very much working hard right
now to address the top priorities in order for us all to stay on top of
the game and have success. Some people love the FREE coupons while
others wish I would do things a different way because the FREE ones are
getting played out for them. We are now making our focus to get more of
the none FREE ones made for all the giftcards to give those who prefer
that option more flexibility. New coupons will be out soon and will
address this directly.
Until then, can I get some more stories
about people's success so that new customers continue to stay
interested, which leads to more sales, which leads to me working harder
and staying highly motivated, which leads to a victory for all of us.
The more motivation I have to dedicate my free time to this project, the
more success we will all experience and the faster we will receive new
and inspired content.

@smoked good idea about the 2nd phone, as far as paper coupons, just put them in and print new ones :)

know the true worth compared to what you paid tip the lotus. it's only

GL, did the laughing cow not make the cut this round? I can't find it
-
Went for another run, we got a Macy's GC, 25 Go Phone Card, 1 Free
Logitech Mouse and Office Max, and did a bunch of OC shopping. Here is
what we found, the chobani yogurt $2 off 2, does not work at Walmart
anymore. Tried 3 different and none worked. The red Bull coupon does not
work at Target anymore. Tried 4 Targets and no luck.
We went to one
Ghetto Walmartt that we never had issues before, so this guys starts
looking at the coupons and stars screaming this is fake, they are
printed they are fake. We look at him and ask well how else are you
going to get internet coupons ? Anyways, we left and my buddy got
pissed. Called the store Manager and complained for about 20 minutes.
The Manager could not believe what happened. Then we called
Corporate office and complained more, they will call that store and have
a talk with that person and manager. hahaha.
Fun Times.
-
@handsoap: if it did it was not intentional. I really enjoy that
stuff myself so I'll check it out. My first search did not turn it up
either, so I'll have to start pulling out my other encrypted drives and
find it. I plan to go on a personal shopping trip later today.
Has
anyone else gotten laid because of these coupons besides me? Obviously
if I could just tell women I'm PurpleLotus then that would be all it
would take, but I don't exactly mean like that. lol :-P
@overlap:
you do know that you can spend your time complaining and be rewarded
for it, right? You don't have to complain for free my man. You can
simply pick any company you want and any product, then go to their
website and look on the bottom for the "Contact us" and usually it is a
form you simply fill out and say that your product was defective for
blah blah blah reasons, and the store refuses to take it back, blah,
blah and then almost 100% of the time they will send you really sick
looking coupons in the mail with holograms on them for whatever it was
you complained about for free. I've outlined it in my threads in greater
detail, but I have work to go do. Try it, it works like a charm.
-

Adding to this, the Oxyacne coupon does not work at walmart anymore either.
For
self-checkouts, I usually have to hand the coupon to the attendant to
scan. Are there any places with self-checkouts that allow me to scan the
coupon myself?

Yeah
GL, I know. My buddy just likes to complain for some reason. That is
how he has fun. I was LOL the whole time while he was on the phone.
We
just did another small run in a new area we have not been to. Staples
and Office Max are really easy now with the new AC collection. We got a
couple of $25.00 amazon cards, one more free mouse from the original HC
collection, and 2 more AT&T GoPhone cards no issues at Target.
-
Ok, I want to clear a few things up so people know exactly what I
know about what's going on. Red Bull will not scan at Target because the
UPC is blocked for some reason, if they scan the Databar it will work
again. Just whenever it comes up and says that, ask kindly for her to
try the other barcode and say that sometimes that works just fine or
whatever you want to say. I can't do anything to fix this issue, so you
simply have to get them to try the other barcode. This issue also
effects Tide to my knowledge.
Also Walmart is implementing a new
system and so more and more of you are going to be seeing issues at
Walmarts. Many of you won't notice any issues yet, but once they start,
it means you gotta stop going to Walmart until I figure it out.
If
you have not experienced issues at Walmart, then ignore everyone who is
saying such and such coupon doesn't work at Walmart. Keep trying until
you have your own Walmart issue and then decide for yourself to stop
going to Walmart if you choose. Some of us got screwed while others have
not been... We can stop reporting individual coupons that don't work at
Walmart anymore. The problem is with Walmart's new system, not the
actual coupon. That same coupon will work everywhere else including many
Walmart's, so no need to go into it just yet. Either don't use Walmart
at all, or when you find a coupon that does not work for you at Walmart,
stop using just that coupon... the choice is yours.

about what's going on. Red Bull will not scan at Target because the UPC
is blocked for some reason, if they scan the Databar it will work again.
Just whenever it comes up and says that, ask kindly for her to try the
other barcode and say that sometimes that works just fine or whatever
you want to say. I can't do anything to fix this issue, so you simply
have to get them to try the other barcode. This issue also effects Tide
to my knowledge.
Also Walmart is implementing a new system and so
more and more of you are going to be seeing issues at Walmarts. Many of
you won't notice any issues yet, but once they start, it means you
gotta stop going to Walmart until I figure it out.
If you have
not experienced issues at Walmart, then ignore everyone who is saying
such and such coupon doesn't work at Walmart. Keep trying until you have
your own Walmart issue and then decide for yourself to stop going to
Walmart if you choose. Some of us got screwed while others have not
been... We can stop reporting individual coupons that don't work at
Walmart anymore. The problem is with Walmart's new system, not the
actual coupon. That same coupon will work everywhere else including many
Walmart's, so no need to go into it just yet. Either don't use Walmart
at all, or when you find a coupon that does not work for you at Walmart,
stop using just that coupon... the choice is yours.
its not walmarts new system messing with the fake coupons
its walmarts new system messing with coupons in general
i
had a long talk with a cashier cuz im one of the ones hit with
it. Their system is having issues with coupons in general no rhyme
or reason as to what flags them

I
too can attest to this. I have several Wal-Mart's in my area. Several
of them have implemented the new system. A couple are still no problems
at all. Also depending on the manager on duty, I have had some who are
not great and scrutinize the hell out of them, others are super
apologetic and explain that the system is messing up coupons. Those nice
ones have always manually typed in my coupons and accept them. Also
even at the locations where coupons are not working, some will and some
wont. Like GL said, just be careful and modify your techniques during
this time.
Regards all,

Wraith is 100% correct in my opinion, I just didn't want to be
throwing data out there that only benefits me. My conversations with
Walmart employees has also reflected it is coupons in general that are
doing this and it is effecting all couponers, and not just us and our
coupons. Maybe we should try to look into this on the clearnet or
something, I'm too busy for Walmart coupon theory, but at the same time
don't want people freaking out over this.

So... got into a fender bender today. Completely scatterbrained, at a
stoplight, arguing with my chick, just lifted my foot off the gas a bit
and rolled into the guy in front. Not really any damage on my car at
all but the guy I bumped into has this tiny ass scratch that he was
trying to make a big deal out of (it was probably there from before).
Basically, he wanted me to pay him outta my pocket ($400) for something
that might cost at most $100 to fix (a fucking sharpie would have done
it honestly). I didn't have more than forty dollars cash on me but I did
have a few $50 and $100 visa gift card coupons in my glove-box. So I
was like "listen dude... I don't have what you want. If you wanna take
down my insurance info, feel free but right now the best thing I can do
for you is give you my 2 vouchers for visa gift cards which is worth
$150 and we can go our separate ways." So after a lot of grumbling and
namecalling he grudgingly accepted the offer and told me "this shit
better not be fake" and drove away. I've always wished for these coupons
to work without any issues but I hope that this motherfucker gets
arrested using them, lol.

Here
is what we found, the chobani yogurt $2 off 2, does not work at Walmart
anymore. Tried 3 different and none worked. The red Bull coupon does
not work at Target anymore. Tried 4 Targets and no luck.
Adding to this, the Oxyacne coupon does not work at walmart anymore either.
For
self-checkouts, I usually have to hand the coupon to the attendant to
scan. Are there any places with self-checkouts that allow me to scan the
coupon myself?
My
local walmarts have a little slot that is for putting the coupons in.
If people are really worried about putting something in the
slot.....don't be.

Mothers Day Success.
Well these coupons were a godsend today. I got a 100 dollars worth of GCs in about 30 minutes time. It was a good day.
I don't think people realize why I always try to find ways to not have to print these...... I USE THEM TOO MUCH. lol.
I
have saved over 10,000 dollars in the short few months that I've had
these coupons. Me and my "partners" have almost turned this into an
industrial strength professional endeavor.
If you are on the
fence, get off. Grow some balls and start taking what is yours for the
taking. I know it's hard to wake up from the Matrix. But you've taken
the first step, you're here.
Now it's time to start stacking paper. Take the red pill.

ANYONE TRY THESE AT DOLLAR STORES?
OR DOES EVERYONE STICK TO WALMARTS AND TARGETS AND SUCH?
-
I don't even know if the dollar store accepts coupons. I never had
much of an interest since I don't think I ever made a coupon for less
than a dollar haha. Yeah I know they sell other items now, but we would
have to look at their policies, or someone just walk in and ask the
question. I have never heard a word about the dollar store.

THIS
IS FUCKING EPIC! I wonder if we could use one of wraithe's websites and
get a prostitute willing to accept coupons for free VISA cards. There's
one thing I won't do... pay for pussy, but I'd damn sure make a coupon
for that shit!

Dollar
General accepts coupons. I've used OC there some. I'm not sure about
Family Dollar/Dollar Tree/etc though. Dollar General carries gift cards
of the 99366 variety, but I've not tried HC or AC there. I will try
today and report back I'll also check out Family Dollar as well.

Just a suggestion, Maybe change the Roku Coupon to the new Model "Roku 3" from the "Roku 2"
Thanks GL.
-
Also I've noticed people talking a lot about self checkouts and gift cards.
I
have only tried twice at two different Walmarts in my area, and both
times was told "you can't use that here." I assume they were talking
about the gift card and not the coupon. I will have to try again at
another Walmart and see if it works there.
I have yet to see self
checkouts at any targets in my area though. I've yet to pull off a
HC/AC at Target anyways, and usually just use Target as my grocery stop
for OC.

Great
idea man! I've heard about the ROKU 3 but as of yesterday I still have
only seen the ROKU 2 actually in stores. I picked one up and it was
awesome because they are on sale right now so it cost me less than $10. I
havent checked BestBuy so I'll go take a look, but without a doubt I'll
get you a ROKU 3 done up as soon as I can obtain a UPC code for it.
@Jacob:
Target is still my favorite spot for OC shopping. I have never seen a
SC there either and doubt they even have them anywhere, but Target is
not the best place for HC/AC. They have policies in place that my
experience is they will not accept a coupon above $50 ever, so that
limits your options there.
In other news, we are progressing
nicely on the work for those of you who have requested a set of giftcard
coupons completely geared towards a $ amount off and no "FREE" ones
this time. It's a legitimate request and something that more than a hand
full of people have requested at this point. I would expect a release
as early as tomorrow, but certainly no promises until it's officially
uploaded.

maybe offer these as an update to people who arent having ANY luck in their areas with the AC? IE: Me :)
got turned down at target cvs and walgreens. dont wanna try my wally cuz thats where I used about $200 a week in OC coups.
oh no red bull doesnt work? sheeeet. hope i can make my 80 cans last until an update! lol
oh and 100th post woohoo!
-
No, if redbull has recently worked for you then you are just fine to
continue at those locations. The issue has long existed and is only at
certain places, so nothing new has changed with it.
Honestly
thats the first complaint I have heard about the AC, but I'm sure others
are probably in your boat too and just haven't really said much. I
won't know unless they do, but certainly some people have a harder time
than others for whatever reason, whether it be there own luck or just a
shitty location. This may or may not improve for some with the new
coupons that move away from the FREE model. Some people won't have much
luck with those, while they do with the FREE ones, and visa versa.
Certainly what I have learned is things are different for all of us,
making it difficult to come up with ideas that really shine for 100% of
us. I just try the best I can to do the next best thing. One thing that
is certain, the OC shines brightly for 100% of us. Once we move onto the
next level, well it's clearly labeled to not be easy for us all, but it
certainly works for people who have developed skills with the OC and
are persistent.
Oh, and toss me a redbull please.

-
Anyone having issues with the $9.50 off on Tide 100oz or larger? Went to Target and coupon scanned invalid.
-
Yes, I spoke about the issue a page back I believe. One of the two
UPCs on that coupon will ring up invalid at target and possibly other
places. The fix is to request that they scan the other barcode. I
usually just say "Oh it usually works if you try the other barcode...
etc." and that has always worked for me. The fix is going to be that I
make the tide coupon for a lower denomination and then it should work. I
might have that released as soon as tomorrow. So many people still use
the Tide coupon without issue that I never really gave it much thought
until recently when other people mentioned it.
It's the exact
same issue with the Redbull coupon and the exact same work around, as
far as I know it is only those two coupons and this was put into place
by Target long before I ever made the coupons. It's not something we
caused, it's just something I was unaware of when I made them. A less
common denomination might easy fix this.

I seen the New Roku 3's at Target a couple of weeks ago, the UPC was 829610880365 I Believe.
Also,
I don't know if anyone is interested, but it might be cool to get some
coupons for some of those sound bars they have at walmart/target I think
they are Vizio brand and some other. Maybe a full page coupon, like
"Thanks for purchasing a Vizio TV, here is a coupon for a sund bar"

It also applies to Bounty, pampers and maybe one or two more. Same thing, just ask nicely to scan other code and magic happens.
I believe Target's limit is lower than $50.
Can anyone verify that Maglite works? UPC appears to be off by 1 digit

oohhh nice idea--I second that sound bar coupon, been looking for a
good deal on one for a while and having a "voucher" that comes with the
purchase of a new tv would probably fool a lot of csm's.
-
Long time lurker but I had to get in on the action. The lotus family
is awesome and I wanted to give back as all of you have done for me. I
own all the collections and if anyone reading this is still wondering if
you should buy these, BUY THEM ALL! I was mainly motivated to come and
tell you all a funny story that happened Friday. It was a long week and I
wasn't planning on doing much but I felt I'd hit 1-3 stores real quick
HC/AC style and just relax. I got a bullseye I always go to. I was going
to pull a little something off in the electronics depo. I head back and
shoot a glance at the guy on duty to size him up. He's talking to a
larger fellow and first thing that pops into my mind is Shrek lol.
Anyways normally the item is locked up but this one isn't. I grab it and
start to head to the counter. As I get closer I notice this guy has the
12m xbox live coupon and is going for it! I nearly shit myself and head
to the front. Part of me wonders if I should talk to him and tell him
"hey dumbass don't try over $50 here". It also looked like he might have
been going for 2 things but I'm not sure. He may have been buying the
other. He gets shot down of course and so I wait. He gets in his car and
is looking the coupon over. I pull up right in front of him, honk and
flash him some coupons. He turns kinda white and trys to play it off. I
back out and take off laughing :D
I did this for a few reasons.
One I wanted him to know this was my territory and he should watch his
surroundings more. 2#Don't try over $50 at target, its been covered
here! That xbox works out there somewhere playa, but not there. Before
you go out and look silly and make one of my regular spots sketched out,
read the forums. I have asked very few questions to GL because I do my
homework. I might still be lurking if this guy didn't give me an awesome
story. Also I had to let this guy know if he finally decides to read
the forums, do your homework. If that was you Shrek (which I doubt) pimp
on pimping, hope you feel better.

Coupon suggestions for OC:
Digiorno pizza, farm rich products, el monterey products(taquitos!)
I
bought the OC over a month ago and used a couple coupons for the first
time. Picked up some deli meat and some chicken; both scanned
perfectly.
Question..I know cash is king but what about using a cheese card..?
-
Cash is always king and I would never recommend anything else. I
can't say for sure but I personally would particularly avoid using a
cheese card, but I mean it's your risk to take and likely very minimal
of a risk assuming you don't go crazy. If you buy more stuff than you
could even use for example, it becomes pretty hard to deny you had no
clue what was going on. Chances are you would be fine, but don't even
take that risk, use your card to buy the items you like that we
currently don't support. Good suggestions though, I'd think they should
all be added.
@sauce123: that's hilarious! It has always been on
my achievement list that one day I would actually witness someone using
my coupons. I still love telling this story: I have had several friends
recommend SilkRoad to me even though I'm already a vendor and they have
no idea which is always a trip, but one day I get a call from a
childhood friend and he starts telling me about SilkRoad and then he
says "Yeah this dude is selling coupons, you would probably like them.
You should check them out." Now that was a fucking trip, someone
suggesting I buy my own fucking listing. He did know me well enough to
know it would be the type of thing that caught my interest, but really
he was probably just encouraging me to buy it so I could then give him a
free copy I'm sure. I told him I already knew about it and owned it and
then sent him the copy.
Another thing I have never done that I
really want to do is actually go couponing with someone else. I hear
stories of couples or friends who make trips together and it just sounds
like a cool new experience. I've given people coupons but I don't think
one of them ever actually used them. I was giving out coupons long
before I ever vended on SR.
@WaterWorks: That's the best part of
this "job". Hearing stories like that keep me feeling good about myself
and highly motivated. I hope things improve for you and your family.
-
Couponing with someone just makes it that much more
enjoyable!!! I think it tends to help loosen some people up when
hangin with friends or family while shopping. Roll up to the
register with a wife and two screaming kids and all the cashiers feel
sorry and rush you through!!! Good times....
Tag teaming
with a friend to cover more ground to pick up GC's for a major
purchase(like that RCA tv, while dreaming of a Vizio) is also a good
time.
Realizing you can get the Vizio on the same day is a really good time!!!
Explaining to the cashier that it's my birthday while using GC's to purchase an $800 vizio tv really really good time.
Blasting the Adam Sandler Turkey song whilst getting free mickey d's after getting TV's, best time ever!!!
(Thanks T4B!!!!!)
Lotus, I can't express my gratitude enough. Cheers!

LOL doesn't surprise me... Wraithe is everywhere

Coupon suggestions for OC:
Digiorno pizza, farm rich products, el monterey products(taquitos!)
I
bought the OC over a month ago and used a couple coupons for the first
time. Picked up some deli meat and some chicken; both scanned
perfectly.
Question..I know cash is king but what about using a cheese card..?
The Pizza is in the new pack
-
Anyone successfully use the Keurig Elite Brewing system coupon? :o
-
how bout some mouthwash or something

Yup. I bought some yesterday at a Wal-Mart which I know has the new system implemented. No issues on the Crest ProHealth coupon!

It's probably time for me to stop couponing all in all, but I've saved easily overy $800 after the initial OC coupon investment.
Why is it time to stop rookie?
I've
the gift of gab (or at lest I think I do) but I get scared when I hear a
store's inventory and check-out systems alerts the cashier of a
"Fraudulent coupon"
No need to get scared. Get frustrated and ask them what the problem is.
I feel so proud of you AC and HC coupon warriors.
We are proud of you too?
I
love you PL/GL and all that you have done for us. I take a look
at my tall wall of toilet paper and paper towels and feel so blessed and
secure that I can wipe stinker for literally many months without having
to worry about where my next roll of TP will come from and how I'm
going to pay for it. God bless you & kisses.
We all love GL. So glad you hear that you are better able to support your family! Could we keep god out of this though?
-
Knocked out good karma for everyone going back about 7 pages...
There has not been enough of that around here lately. Where is my old
friend VISAHATE? (I saw you a few pages back, I know you are around.)

Ben plundering the high seas with my HCC. There really are
only a few places that will fall for them though. Always good to
go with an old person cashier.

Anyone else having really slow dl speeds for the HC update? its telling me 2 hours for each one

I
have had a few ring up as weird but no one ever thinks im trying to
defraud them since thye take the other $90 of coupons that all look
similar lol. I enjoy the rush of it too.
If you take the
toilet paper and make a makeshift bowling alley and find yourself a
midget. you will have hours of fun. I saw a midget yesterday
at the strip club selling "a rose for the hoes" he goes around selling
overpriced roses to overpriced skanks. lol i laughed when he
said rose for hoes tho

TRIP REPORT
●ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ●
Hey
guys, I've decided to do a "Trip Report" every time I'm proud of my
trip. I may change the format up over time, but I'm going to make it as
cool as I can for now:)
STORES HIT:
Walgreens - 3 (1/3 Success Rate)
Target - 1 (1/1)
Walmart -1 (1/1)
Kohls - 1 (0/1)
Office Max - 1 (0/1)
IN THE BAG:
$25 Buffalo Wild Wings- 2
$25 Applebee's- 2
$50 Amazon - 2
$50 Best Buy - 2
Go Phone- 1
Experience: (2 hour trip, only hit half of the stops we planned, it got late)
First
stop was Walgreens, walked in with my buddy, both grabbed a $50 Amazon
and $50 Best Buy. Walked up. She didn't call the manager, both of us
went through fine. Clean as a whistle.
Second stop was Walgreens, walked in, grabbed the same coupons, she called the manager over, no go.
Third
stop was Walmart, walked in, both grabbed a $25 Buffalo and $25
Applebees, self checkout, cleared fine, didn't have to talk to anyone,
both walked out. Cleaner than a whistle.
Decided to go back in
the Walmart and hit it again (dumb idea.) I went for the phone and my
buddy tried getting 5 GC's. (Forgot about the $50, stupid me.) We both
walked in and both left with nothing.
Fourth stop was Office Max, fat bitch didn't even read the coupons just said no:(
Walked to Kohls next door and the lady said that the best buy coupons only would be excepted at Best Buy. Yeah, my ass.
Sixth
stop was target, walked in with the Go Phone coupon, asked the guy what
model would work. He said that I needed to get a bigger one than the
coupon value and I persuaded him to try the coupon. He did. Manager came
over, cleared fine. Walked out with a bang.
Last stop for the
night was Walgreens, walked in and tried to get Best Buy and Amazon
again. For some reason they didn't scan and the manager had to come
over:( Wouldn't except.
--------------------------------------------------------
I'd
say a pretty successful night. Up $400 in 2 hours. This weekend we're
planning on hitting it harder. Will update like always;)

Nice job with the coupons, and great post! Thank you bud!

You should start a subreddit called
/r/receiptporn
-
Anyone else getting "unexpected end of archive" error when trying to download the files?
-
Yep, I get the "unexpected end of archive" error every time after about 5 minutes of downloading at 3 kb/s
I have been trying to download the HC Coupon pack all day. Has anyone found a solution so far?
-
yeah I've gotten unexpected end of archive ever since GL's first
coupon pack, it's basically timing out on you before everything is
downloaded--happens most of the time for me when I have a shitty
connection or a lot of people are DLing a new pack. not much you
can do but try again, switching tor identities helps sometimes too.
-
Yep just got an error downloading. Gonna try using a new identity now. Thanks for the update!!
-
Walked to Kohls next door and the lady said that the best buy coupons only would be excepted at Best Buy. Yeah, my ass.
It may be because this bloody mary is so damn delicious, but what coupon is best buy specific?
Hmmm... bloody mary mix coupons....
Edit:
On the downloading issue, I had a problem with my downloads not
completing until I stopped running relays and ran as a client only in
the vidalia control panel. Hope it helps.
-
That was a good story....now tell the truth,After you flashed me
those coupons I got out of my ford festiva and flipped your truck on
it's side yelling This Is MY SWAMP DONKEY!!!! LMAO....thanks for the
well wishes bro.
+1 for you
Long
time lurker but I had to get in on the action. The lotus family is
awesome and I wanted to give back as all of you have done for me. I own
all the collections and if anyone reading this is still wondering if you
should buy these, BUY THEM ALL! I was mainly motivated to come and tell
you all a funny story that happened Friday. It was a long week and I
wasn't planning on doing much but I felt I'd hit 1-3 stores real quick
HC/AC style and just relax. I got a bullseye I always go to. I was going
to pull a little something off in the electronics depo. I head back and
shoot a glance at the guy on duty to size him up. He's talking to a
larger fellow and first thing that pops into my mind is Shrek lol.
Anyways normally the item is locked up but this one isn't. I grab it and
start to head to the counter. As I get closer I notice this guy has the
12m xbox live coupon and is going for it! I nearly shit myself and head
to the front. Part of me wonders if I should talk to him and tell him
"hey dumbass don't try over $50 here". It also looked like he might have
been going for 2 things but I'm not sure. He may have been buying the
other. He gets shot down of course and so I wait. He gets in his car and
is looking the coupon over. I pull up right in front of him, honk and
flash him some coupons. He turns kinda white and trys to play it off. I
back out and take off laughing :D
I did this for a few reasons.
One I wanted him to know this was my territory and he should watch his
surroundings more. 2#Don't try over $50 at target, its been covered
here! That xbox works out there somewhere playa, but not there. Before
you go out and look silly and make one of my regular spots sketched out,
read the forums. I have asked very few questions to GL because I do my
homework. I might still be lurking if this guy didn't give me an awesome
story. Also I had to let this guy know if he finally decides to read
the forums, do your homework. If that was you Shrek (which I doubt) pimp
on pimping, hope you feel better.

I haven't been able to download the new HC coupons. I'm sure they will be fixed.
For
those of you who have downloaded them...are there any new ones
added? I noticed the expiration dates still had some time on them
so I didn't know if this was just a refresh or new coupons.
-
Which files arent working? All of them, or just the three that I
changed? If it's all of them then this is a server side issue which
should be fixed soon and just keep trying. If it is ONLY the new ones,
then possibly I corrupted some files, but so far bi complaints until
today.

Yeah
seems to be server side. Any chance these would ever be hosted on a
password protected dropbox or google drive or something? It would make
downloads much much faster and it could be accessed through TOR to
maintain anonymity.
-
Hello all. I just wanted to come report that I succesfully
used the Turtle Beach $100 off coupon and ended up paying $9 (tax) for a
pretty sweet wireless gaming headset! I wanted to go for the $150
one but they didn't have it at the store I went to. Hadn't seen
anyone else report back about them yet so thought I'd chime in to
confirm what we all now, GL prints gold ;D
-
Walked to Kohls next door and the lady said that the best buy coupons only would be excepted at Best Buy. Yeah, my ass.
It may be because this bloody mary is so damn delicious, but what coupon is best buy specific?
Hmmm... bloody mary mix coupons....
No,
it's a coupon for a BB gc (actually 3 gc's, w/ two diff UPC #'s for
each denomination) in the Advanced collection. I had forgotten about
them myself, until they were mentioned.
Damn, there is so much good stuff in each of GL's collections, that I keep "discovering" coups I have newly found uses for.
Speaking
of the AC, though I've been plenty busy w/ the HC and OC, I picked up a
BP card at the K this week, without any real trouble. Pbx wasn't
forthcoming with my first attempt (duh, try, try again), but I've passed
close to $100 of OC coups there in a couple of trips, so I have high
hopes for the green.
Rock On, Lotuseers! Bloody Marys all around!
And
Big Thanks to GL for changing my life and making me feel better about
my future than I have in years. (Man, I owe you a tip!)
-
Hey T4B is that Mcd's coup in the lottery pack or in your private
collection? I've been hearing so much buzz about it for the past
couple months I think I need to dig around and finally check that out!
Banging positive karma for everyone too, gotta celebrate getting a two
free Domino's pizzas for me and my friends tonight thanks to GL! (no
issues with the rest of the updates downloading for me, so it's def
yall's tor connection being a pain)
-
Glad to see a lot of success stories here last few days!
Let
me say this, If there is a cashier lurking around here and you were
handed OC coupons today THANK YOU!!! LOL dude was double scanning them
faster than I could tell.. I thought I saw 2 that he scanned twice and
let it through despite the error message but looking at the receipt it
was 4. he also didnt scan my 12 pack of coke. I payed <10% for a full
cart worth
The way he handled them (he knows) really made me believe he was on here so shout out!! PM me your schedule ;)

I
used to just hand it out willy nilly here on the forum, but that was
before the submission lottery. Now it is a hallmark of the lottery and
easily the best/most useful one in that pack! Unfortunately it only gets
me one entry, but I am not in it for the money. I am here to make this
community more amazing than it already is. Rock over London. Rock on
Chicago. Wendy's. It's better here.
Peace,
T4B

ROGAIN ROGAIN!

Hey, just spammed to fifty to get here. First of all a big
thanks to Golden. I bought the OC pack two days ago and have
already recouped my money 10 fold. My job's pretty slow so I used
their ink and paper to print out a stack of coupons today. I felt
like a kid at a candy store.
Also, I don't want to sound like I'm
complaining. I purchased the HC pack last night, this morning he
sent me a link and I released the funds. I downloaded one of the
zips and realized when I opened it that it was from the OC pack. I
sent Golden a message before I went to work and haven't heard from
him. I'm just wondering if he'll be able to tell I purchased both
packs? Or is there some way I'll have to prove I made the purchase
since I finalized when I saw the link?
Thirdly, I've read all
the pages and I gotta say I'm pretty excited. It seems that the
GC's seem to be pretty hit or miss. It seems CVS has a higher
success rate, but still iffy. How do the other coupons work out
for you guys? Like the PS Vita, PS3, Xbox, keyboard/mouse, kindle,
etc. work out? Are there any chains that seem to work better or
is it luck of the draw?

Welcome
new friend. Worry not. Lotus will get you straightened out as soon as
he sees the problem. Hang out around here and pay attention to the
community for all the tips and tricks you need to be successful. I am
pretty sure every single coupon in the HC pack has been passed at one
time or another. But they are difficult and require skill and luck to
accomplish! Be yourself. Present the coupon before the point of sale if
you can. I like to have the coupon out while browsing the merchandise
and when an associate asks if you need help show them the coupon and ask
where that particular item is or which model of the item it is good
for. This technique works pretty well. The reason I believe is that the
associate is not caught off guard at the register where they are in
their "time to take money" phase of the encounter. They are presented
with the coupon during the "what can I do to help" phase. Even if they
are not sure about the coupon, presenting it at this time should at
least on some subliminal level like you are not trying to pull a scam.
At least not as much as marching up to the register and more or less
saying, "Give me this $300 item for free."
-
Oh I'm not worried, having read this whole thread I'm sure he was
either drunk, stoned or tired. I just want to make it was easy on
him as possible and since I'm fairly new to SR I don't want to come off
as a scammer.
I hear you on the being yourself, I used to
do small scale scams back in highschool with can deposits. It's
all how in you present yourself. I figure for the HC coupons I'll
go with the slightly ignorant but confident this coupon is legitimate
because I got it for filling out surveys. I was just asking about
locations so I could maximize my success rate. If they tell me
it's fake I'm pretty good at feigning surprise. I just won't go
back there for awhile and move on to a different location.

It's
a numbers game. They all work in different places at different times.
Just because Kohl's seems to be doing well this week doesn't make Kohl's
inherently more likely to pass. It comes down to who is working and how
you present yourself. Go outside your immediate area. Pre-plan with
many store options. Try them all. Hit a variety of stores and different
approaches. Do not get discouraged after failures. (This is easier said
than done, but REMEMBER it) Be confident every time. It's okay to seem
excited, don't act subdued or nonchalant. You are getting a nice piece
of merchandise for very little money, a normal person would be excited
about this. Eye contact is good. Make eye contact a game. Try to keep
better eye contact than the cashier does to you. (It isn't a difficult
game, most people do not like eye contact, but it is easy to forget and
not implement this strategy so REMEMBER)
-
Thankfully there's 40 or 50 shopping centers within 40 miles of
me. I'm talking urban sprawl at it's worst, however the bright
side is there's 50 walmarts, 50 best buys, etc. all within immediate
reach. I was only asking to minimize my losses. For instance
if walmart won't do the $100 GC but will do the $50 I won't waste my
time with the $100. However I get what you're saying, and I have
no plan to get discouraged. I figure even if I never get a HC
coupon to pass, I've already gotten back my moneys worth with the OC
pack.
Thanks for the advice though, very much appreciated.
-
Before you hit a new place you must know 2 things:
1) the chain's coupon policy
2) Wraithe has already been there
Good luck!
-
Newb here, gonna try a few of these soon. Haven't read
the whole thread, but most of it. I'll catch up
eventually. Some questions (for the OC):
- Generally bad idea to try these at regional stores (meijer, etc)?
-
Is there a list and/or person that pulls the bad ones? For
example I saw the exact Camel one on the cic site.
I also noticed that Post is incorrectly plural on the coupon, lol.
Bustin my cherry this weekend :P

You ain't kidding.
I
roll up into a place I was ready to reap rewards on yesterday, only to
find out the day before they switched all the visas over to 43788.
:o Backup plan in place, I/we took the MC's and Amex instead. The
only ones that got changed were the visas. I also noted they were
out of peanut butter, which led me to my assumption it was wraithe. I
got out quickly, as I know he doesn't like people on his turf. ;)
But
seriously, after a couple months of this, I've realized a few
things. This is 100% about how you present yourself. By
that, I mean I'm pretty sure I could do this completely naked. As
long as you just act (that's not even the word but I digress) naturally,
things go... naturally, or as nature intended. For things other
than the OC, I've been in both clean shaven and bearded, dressed
business, casual, parent, student, and even hippie stoner (cause that's
just me) and had good success with all. My fave is takin the kids
with to go OC shopping cause the cashiers just want to help you get on
your way it seems. Tag teaming with a few friends for a weekend
getaway in the city is pretty fun too. Who doesn't want free
shopping, free dining and free hotels? Also, the humane society in
my area has decided to kill animals after only holding them for a week
because they're out of money. They just received an anon donation
of $1000 in coupons to help feed the animals. I'm outta ink, time
to go shopping!
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE BEST THING GOING ON SR, YOU JUST FOUND IT. GET OFF THE FENCE AND GO PLAY ROBIN HOOD.

This new Wal-Heart system is really frustrating. Too often I am face
to face with CSMs at the ones that have implemented. Which isn't a
major catastrophe, just a nuisance. The big problem I am having is that
at one of my locations they are flat out denying all of the E-Centives
template coupons. Again, I can deal with it and replace E-Centives with
anything I want, just a hassle. The other problem is that the cashiers,
when they wont automatically go through want to try to deny them. Every
CSM looks at the coupon and pushes it through, as long as it is not on
the E-Centives template. Yuck.
Fortunately Bulls-eye is working
okay and some Wal-Hearts are better than others. All is well though,
just a minor rant. Hopefully just a bump in the road, this happened for a
few weeks several months ago and they scrapped it. Just cross our
fingers that they do it again!

@DohJohn:
not always bad, but check their coupon policies first and then thread
very lightly your first time there. Many of us have found local/regional
stores to be pure GOLD, but you gotta test the waters since many of us
havent tried those and dont have those, so you gotta kind see what's up
first.
GoldenLotus
-
Gotcha. Makes sense, every store is different.
What
about coupons that are on 'the list'? Do y'all generally
shy away from those or try 'em anyway? Just kind of double
checking some and there's quite a few on there (Coke, Camel, Bounty,
etc).
Figured for my first foray I'd shy away from the ones that are flagged.
-
There are coupons that have been on those lists for 2-3 years that I
still use to this day and never had a single rejection. In my
experience, and everyone else active in GL's thread, no one checks the
CIC website, esp. not a $7/hr Walmart cashier in their free time.

Thanks, much appreciated! I'll be printing some HCs out tonight. We'll see how it goes haha.
As
for the coupons on the "list" I wouldn't worry. I've gotten
probably over a carton of camel's and marb's in the last few days.
I've only had one coupon that didn't work and the cashier put it in
manually. As long as you don't act nervous you'll be fine, it's a
piece of cake.
-
Okay so am I doing something wrong here? My friend and I have tried
all of the visa cards but even when we have a believable storythe
coupons always scan as fraudulent.
The only oonnes that have worked are the starbucks and others through self check out.
Is there any way to get the visas to work? And if so please help meeee :]
Thankyou :p
-
Pretty soon it'll be a year that I've been using PL/GLs coupons.
After trying out just about every one them (at least the ones I could
use, or friends and family could, 300-400), I've now been able to make a
kinda custom coupon shopping list. Honestly, I can't remember the last
time I've been turned down for a coupon. Once you find a local honey
hole, keep it light and easy, and you'll be able to shop there forever.
.....i'm fuckin high as shit....

To
clear a few things up, he is talking about 4chan coupons, because I
only make custom coupons for here only and none of mine existed 3 years
ago.
Also I do make changes if any of mine ever do pop up on CIC
list, but that is only for my users peace of mind because the CIC
doesn't effect shit. I do believe none of us have ever been told about
the CIC in a real store. There list doesnt effect if my coupons work or
not. They are a non issue, but we make the changes so people don't feel
uncomfortable, etc.
Cheese Wiz, are you well versed in how to
match the first 5 series of UPC codes effectively to guarantee you are
using the proper UPC version of the coupon on the proper card? If this
is not done, and they do not match then they wont work.
Alsodid
you follow my advice and practice with the Oc first? This is critical
and everyone here will agree. USe the OC first and become comfortable or
your HC attempts will be much less susseul.. the knolwedge, experience,
and confidence gained from OC used is critical to Hc success.
And mind sharing which stors you attempted at so we can give you better direction?
ANNOUNCEMENT:
an immediate family member of mine has been hospitalized and this will
requite some time with me to be present for surgery and also take
personal care for a few days after next week until someone else can take
over the daily care.
There are two collections in the works right
now with many finished but this will set me back maybe a week for
release. This includes the much asked for $x off GCs instead of the
"FREE" ones for those of you who prefer this method and also another
really cool collection we have put a lot of work in that will be
different and somewhat of a "Summer addition" to prepare us for another
great summer together. All is well and work continues and new
stuff is coming, but I wanted to mention my situation so people didn't
think we didn't care or weren't working hard. Just a real life setback
going to hold me off for a week from release, which I wanted to complete
earlier. Once we make it though Summer, we can once again look forward
to an amazing Christmas list that should to even be better than
last years!

What up Couponeers?? I'm back after a brief hiatus!! Good to see the
Lotus crew still rocking it hard and fast! Just checking in, I've been
slow and steady with the HC and killing it with the OC! seems like not
so much has changed....in fact looks like things are getting back to how
they should be...I don't see anymore trouble makers around....good
looking out whoever is responsible for that...=o)

First off. I want to thank PL/GL for these coupons. I can say
without any doubt these coupons have effected my life in a way I didn't
imagine they would when I bought them.
I have saved thousands on my
groceries in the few months I have been using these coupons. I have
bought food for my grandparents and sister (a single mother) because
it's so cheap now.
I am a student pilot and I use an iPad and a lot
of iPad apps for flying and training. These apps cost upwards of $200
annually. I have almost $500 in my iTunes account for apps and
subscriptions, so this has saved me an unforetold (yet) amount on things
I will use for my career. Not to mention the fact that flight school is
expensive as hell and any money I can save helps. I've filled my tank
up with VISA and Shell cards a countless number of times.
Honestly am so grateful for these coupons.
Now... Business time.
I
went to 3 Dollar General stores with iTunes gift card coupon, and 1
Dollar General with an Xbox gold membership gift card coupon. Each time
the cashier didn't know how to ring the coupons up right. The system was
doing something weird, but not as if the coupon was not valid. The
coupon was showing valid, but the computer just wasn't taking it right.
Each cashier said "try somewhere else I don't know what's wrong with
it." So I'm not sure if they're computers are set up not to accept
"free" items by default, or if something special needs to be coded on
the gift card. I'll try to get more info next time I go to Dollar
General. I have not tried Family Dollar yet.
Had an interesting
encounter at WalMart. I went in with an iTunes coupon. Card scanned
fine. Swiped fine. Coupon scanned fine. Cashier entered "amount off" as
$25.00. Total due: $0.00. He finished the transaction. Then we waited
while the system said "authorizing". And we waited. And waited. Finally
the computer went back to "Total Due $25.00." and printed out a piece of
paper that said something to the extent of 'card could not be
activated.' He thought it was because the coupon didn't work right so he
had CSM come over to verify the coupon. She looked at it for a while.
She finally said she was unsure why the card didn't activate. Said we'd
try on a different register. So we went to the Customer Service section.
While she was logging into her register she said "I better check with
the manager." All I could think was, "This is going to end in a wasted
amount of time here just for a 'no' from the manager." Manger showed up,
looked at the receipt (of the original transaction not able to
complete) and said "Okay. Here's how this works. When he [the cashier]
rang up the coupon, $25 was automatically credited to his register. Now
what needs to be done is to go back to that register and run the
transaction again without the coupon and do tender as $25 cash." I had
to hold back my amazement. We went back to the register and just like
that he ran it as if I had given him $25 cash for the gift card.
Transaction went through. Got the receipt that shows the gift card was
activated. I thanked them all and left with my $25.
I'm not sure
if what the manager said was true or if she just pulled that out of her
ass, but either way my time wasn't wasted there for a "no." Went to 3
other WalMarts in the area with the same iTunes coupons and had no
problem.
Maybe this explains what is going on with WalMart's
coupon problems? I told the CSM I was having problems with other coupons
for groceries and her reply was "WalMart is weird. They're always
changing something. Just last week we got all new registers."

3 friends with 3 cars, $400 worth of groceries and collectively we
only payed $90 between us all. Both friends reported feeling HIGH as
they drove back home. We had problems fitting all the groceries in the
fridge/freezer/cabinents...things college students should never worry
about. Thank you so much GL! No longer do we stress out about food.
I
remember when I was only utilizing Silk Road for the basics, Weed,
MDMA, and LSD. It was only by chance that I really gave the coupon
thread a read and then finally purchasing the listing once I realized
people were really saving serious money. And then it was after my first
run, $40 of frozen food and only paying $3, that my life completely
changed.

all of your questions. The community here isn't against some quick

Some notes about today:
three stores, Walmart, Target, Publix.
Walmart
was a little weird. The coupons scanned but the final amount was much
higher than it should have been as if the system cut off some savings
even though each and every coupon was listed on the receipt.
-The sun chips variety pack is $6.50 at Walmart, the coupon for this is $8 so I couldn't use it.
-Gatorade is $4.98, the coupon is $5.00 so I instead buy the 12 pack of the smaller bottles. This works.
Target,
some employees speaking spanish were standing near my friends as the
coupons were scanned. He understood everything they were saying, "Holy
shit, he's gonna fucking end up paying nothing. Where the fuck did he
get those?"
Publix is SMART company. Never overuse coupons here.
They have no problem checking CIC, and yes I've asked them why they
always go to the back with my coupons and I have to wait 10 minutes.
Fortunately they clear haha. Over time though you will get the "No
reimbursement excuse" and I think it's legitimate. Still doesn't stop me
being successful.
-------------------
My recent musing:
I
used a coinstar at walmart the other day. Put the coins in, got the
voucher. You can go to any register where they scan the bar code which
verifies the amount of coins deposited on the receipt., then you get
cash.
I wondered whether coinstar simply hardcodes the amount
into the bar or it's a more sophisticated system. You guys prob have
already thought about this.
GL, I'm waiting for the $$$ gift cards as I think in my area I will be more successful with those than the free ones.

This
would be awesome to figure out! Although if someone were to do this, it
would not take long for them to discover that the money being paid out
is much higher than what is in the machines. It would not last long and
could never be as widespread as what we are doing here. All the same, we
should do it anyway.

GL, I'm waiting for the $$$ gift cards as I think in my area I will be more successful with those than the free ones.
At
the Walmarts in my area, when I use a coupon that goes over the asking
price, I make sure the total at checkout isn't less then zero. Meaning,
if I were to buy the Gatorade at $4.98 and the coupon is for $5, I'd
also buy a pack of gum for $1. When I check out, after the coupon has
scanned, I pay $0.98. This works for all the coupons, just make sure you
end up paying something, otherwise you end up doing the CSM thing,
which of course works, but I like to keep it to self checkout. $50 is
the max savings at Walmart before CSM action is required. The least I've
had to pay is $0.05 on $50 savings. Of course, with the GCs, is zero,
but I like seeing how close to nothing I have to pay when using the OC. I
know you can, and I have been, paid to shop at Walmart. Usually it's a
couple of bucks and change, but it sure feels fucking awesome when you
walk out!!
-
So I went WAY out of my way and happen to stumble on one of those magical selfcheackout wally.
Unfortunately all standalone machines were labeled NO GC. I opted for a live one, the coup scanned no problem but then cashier
froze, thought about it and then took a pen and wrote a random number on the coupon. never happened before.
Does anyone think the no gc signs are just deterrent? or are the machines programmed to not activate?
I still think the OC is the best purchase on SR but the HC is a very close 2nd ;)
Rock on

My
wal-mart has the signs also. I tried it anyways. The woman who watches
over the self-checkout area is able to see every item that goes thru the
self check-out on a single screen. She was aware of what I was doing
because she walked over to me and asked to see the coupon, which was a
$25 off Starbucks one. While handing it to her I told her the typical
online survey story. She took it no problem but said next time to use
the cash registers for gift cards because they have to do some sort of
"activation" for them over there, which she claims to have done for me
since she saw me trying to buy a gift card thru the self-checkout. So
maybe its a deterrent but it might not be worth risking it.

I
use the self checkout at Walmart for GCs, and after awhile, I also
started to see the signs pop up. As long as the cashier is not watching
you, or their screen, you can still use the coupons. Just make sure it's
busy, or have someone create a distraction for the cashier.

I
only just recently had my first experience with cash back. It was at a
Wal-Mart and it was an oversight on my part.. I was using the Simply
Juice coupon, which is mis-coded as $0.01 off by the way so do not use
it until it is fixed or fix it yourself, but I had 2 coupons and picked
up an Orange Juice and a Lemonade. I didn't even look because I have
only ever bought OJ in the past, but the Lemonade was much cheaper.
Luckily my cashier just keyed in the dollars off after it rang up as
0.01 and my total came up as -$0.21. The register required a CSM
approval, but they were taking a long time to arrive. I have never seen
this before and I cannot know for sure, but it either auto approved
without the CSM or the CSM was able to remotely approve the
transaction.. Very odd. I do not recommend using coupons that put you in
the negative for a total as it draws unnecessary attention. Like
blindman said, buy a pack of gum. Pay attention to what your total
should be. Be aware before you walk up to the cashier.
T4B
-
Thanks! I felt like it was just a scare tactic.
I've noticed
the juice being 0.01, I thought it was just a misprint. I also
noticed that one of the naked (or both) scan for 0.5 MORE than stated
but you won't hear me complaining ;)

Good
looking out wraithe. Sounded like a good idea, maybe at smaller
amounts... Say $26 or $45 or so it could work without suspicion. But you
are right, the risk is too high, and the deniability is next to zero.
No chance of claiming you didn't know.

Ha,
I like your acronym. But no, it's Jean Claude Van Dame. I
was pretty stoned while signing up for SR, wanted a user name that was
in no way connected to me. I happened to be watching Hard Target
at the time so went with the muscles from Brussels. It's dumb, but
it works. Thanks for the karma btw.
Anyways, so I had
an unexpected day off today. I was going to use the printer at
work to print out my lovely new HC coupons, but unfortunately that
wasn't possible. So I decided to bite the bullet and use my paper
and ink for a change. Sadly after two sheets (the $100 GC and full
page $50 GC) my printer started running out of ink. At this point
my friend called me up to see what I was up to. I'd lent him a
half from a zip I bought so he could make a little money.. He
injured himself and has been out of work awhile, his father lost his job
and had to take a lesser paying one and my friend eventually had to
move back in with his dad. He wanted to pay me back and get
stoned, so I figured I'd try my luck at a few places on my way
over. No luck at three different places (two CVS's and one wal
mart) with the $100 vouchers. Got to my buddies house and he gave
me more money than I'd wanted (literally only wanted back what I paid
for it), but he wouldn't take no for an answer.
After a few bowls
he told me he needed to go grocery shopping. At this my ears
perked up, never before did the thought of shopping excite me...oh how
things have changed. I said I'd go with him, I had some coupons he
could probably use. On the way to the first store he asked me how
the deals were so good, I told him they were counterfeit. Before I
could even start to explain he already figured he'd need cash, instead
of stopping at an atm I offered to front him the cash. The first
store (a regional super market) went perfectly, we only grabbed one cart
and went fairly light. Some dog food, toilet paper, cereal, mac
and cheese, etc. etc. Saved about $50 bucks and spent around
$6. The second stop I had him go in before me, I wanted to try my
luck with another GC voucher. I went to the GC aisle and they
actually had the right barcode number, so I grabbed one and went up to a
register. I picked the lane that had a young bored looking
cashier, she couldn't have been any less enthused about being at
work-perfect. As luck would have it her shift ended right as my
turn came, a middle aged man in a tie took over for her...he took one
look at the coupon and said they don't accept these. A bit peeved
and not wanting to waste my trip I asked if I could get three packs of
marb reds. He went to the counter, grabbed three packs and came
over. He was a little pissed when I presented another coupon, he
looked at it for a minute before scanning it much to my surprise. I
through him $5 and some change and left.
The last stop was the
best, this time we were going in for the perishable food.
Bertoli's, PF, Pizza, chicken, milk, eggs, etc. We went in a few
minutes apart each armed with 10-12 coupons. My pal lives in the
middle of no where, I wasn't too concerned with burning this
place. We also each went in with the itunes coupon, I hadn't seen
the right UPC yet but figured it was worth a shot. The store
actually had the $15 cards in stock so we both managed to grab
one. I managed to check out before my friend and when he
came out he was talking to the lady behind him in line. She was
upset that my friend didn't have another itunes coupon, so he offered to
sell her his card for $10, I offered her the same deal. By
selling her the cards the money pretty much covered half of the bill for
that trip.
I didn't bother to count how much we saved today, but
I know it was well over $300 saved and we spent less than $50
combined. My friend and his dad have a well stocked fridge,
freezer and pantry. I got my money back so I can place another
order on SR soon. It's too bad I struck out with the HC
collection, but I think I'll go to Kinko's tomorrow and at least print
out the HP Ink coupon...I figure I may have better lock with the
vouchers that are for a percentage off of the card instead of completely
free. I've got a few virwox accounts set up (new email address
for each account, all made while on a vpn and tor...so pretty
anonymous), I figure if I can actually get a few GC's I can use them to
buy btc and then convert them into cash. I know I'll lose
money to fee's, but the btc wouldn't be tied to the card so it'd allow
me to help pay off a medical bill of my own. I have no plans on
ever being a vendor, so I figure a small deposit won't draw much
attention. Anyways....I'm stoned and rambling at this point, have a
good night.
-
@goldenlotus hope your family members gets better!!! For the OC I
see everyone talking about the amount of the coups being over the amount
of the item, Yes the sketchiness is being felt. IMO, the
solution---- start making two diff coups for each item. Instead of
five 0ff somthig f0ur seventy 5, make 1 for tw0 50 off and 0ne for tw0
0ff. Of course its double the work, but its more realistic.

had to pay is $0.05 on $50 savings. Of course, with the GCs, is zero,
but I like seeing how close to nothing I have to pay when using the OC. I
know you can, and I have been, paid to shop at Walmart. Usually it's a
couple of bucks and change, but it sure feels fucking awesome when you
walk out!!
I
do this VERY thing as well....I start to panic and eventually grab an
impulse item or bottle of water just to "pad" the total so I actually
give money to them instead of having an overage of coupon credit due my
way,lol
funny that I rush to find something to actually BUY when I have over 60-80$ in stuff in my cart.
+1 to you for keeping ME "High as hell" by the way.

Finally purchased the HC, wish me luck guys!

Got a $25 dollar Visa to work at CVS and a 75$ off Keurig brewing machine at Target...
I
tried walmart... but realized they don't have vanilla visas or amazon
so I couldn't even try. And waldbaums just straight up rejected me,
along with Stop n Shop.
Anyone try Kohls?
-
I had this awesome stuff yesterday at my friend's house. It's an
alternative to cheese. Called Daiya. I NEED a coupon off this stuff. It
was amazing, and I'm trying to get away from dairy.
http://www.daiyafoods.com/our-products is their products page.
I'm
going to make a run to Whole Foods this week and get the manufacturer
UPC (can't find it online) and prices on their products.
-
Does anyone know how to get money from vanilla visa cards elsewhere?
does it work to make a secondary paypal acct, add the cards, and send
the money over to my main paypal acc?

Yes
it works if you're trying to convert those gift cards into cash but I
wouldn't recommend doing this method excessively unless you have a way
to launder the money.
-
Hey, just checking in. Yeah everything is ok, just a lot of time
away. Still have some big plans and some free time coming up sometime
soon.
Glad to hear all the stories of success. I'm still checking messages and filling orders everyday.

Anyone know why the link for the AC gives me a 404 error? ( not found ) :-\

I'm having some problems even finding any of the amex cards matching
the upcs for either of the two. Was able to get about seven hundo best
buy cards tho. At this pt. my goal is to be able to use it and get a
brand new led 50 inch. tv w/ 3d capability....almost there. Was smart
bout it tho and went there after getting five and asked if they could
just put em all on one for that amount @ bb. This was out of my area by a
long shot and had no problem..no questions asked. Thanks again
GL...can't wait to get the new smart tv setup woooooo!!! ;D
-
Newb
here, gonna try a few of these soon. Haven't read the whole
thread, but most of it. I'll catch up eventually.
Some questions (for the OC):
- Generally bad idea to try these at regional stores (meijer, etc)?
-
Is there a list and/or person that pulls the bad ones? For
example I saw the exact Camel one on the cic site.
I also noticed that Post is incorrectly plural on the coupon, lol.
Bustin my cherry this weekend :P
i avoid meijer like the clap
-
Killed today.
56 in the basket... they ended up owing me 3 dollars. Got the cash. lol.
-
There
are coupons that have been on those lists for 2-3 years that I still
use to this day and never had a single rejection. In my
experience, and everyone else active in GL's thread, no one checks the
CIC website, esp. not a $7/hr Walmart cashier in their free time.
To
clear a few things up, he is talking about 4chan coupons, because I
only make custom coupons for here only and none of mine existed 3 years
ago.
Also I do make changes if any of mine ever do pop up on CIC
list, but that is only for my users peace of mind because the CIC
doesn't effect shit. I do believe none of us have ever been told about
the CIC in a real store. There list doesnt effect if my coupons work or
not. They are a non issue, but we make the changes so people don't feel
uncomfortable, etc.
Cheese Wiz, are you well versed in how to
match the first 5 series of UPC codes effectively to guarantee you are
using the proper UPC version of the coupon on the proper card? If this
is not done, and they do not match then they wont work.
Alsodid
you follow my advice and practice with the Oc first? This is critical
and everyone here will agree. USe the OC first and become comfortable or
your HC attempts will be much less susseul.. the knolwedge, experience,
and confidence gained from OC used is critical to Hc success.
And mind sharing which stors you attempted at so we can give you better direction?
ANNOUNCEMENT:
an immediate family member of mine has been hospitalized and this will
require some time with me to be present for surgery and also take
personal care for a few days after next week until someone else can take
over the daily care.
There are two collections in the works right
now with many finished but this will set me back maybe a week for
release. This includes the much asked for $x off GCs instead of the
"FREE" ones for those of you who prefer this method and also another
really cool collection we have put a lot of work in that will be
different and somewhat of a "Summer addition" to prepare us for another
great summer together. All is well and work continues and new
stuff is coming, but I wanted to mention my situation so people didn't
think we didn't care or weren't working hard. Just a real life setback
going to hold me off for a week from release, which I wanted to complete
earlier. Once we make it though Summer, we can once again look forward
to an amazing Christmas list that should to even be better than
last years!
I
hope that your family member gets better soon. Kudos to you for taking
care of your people, GL. That's the same type of concern and dedication
you've shown all of us couponers. I've got all three collections, as
well as the lessons and the lottery - and I could have spent ten times
that amount on your products AND STILL HAVE MADE TEN TIMES OVER THAT
MUCH CASH BACK!
I picked up $300 worth of free VISA cards just a
couple of days ago, as well as a $50 gas card (at the K!) - all with a
better than 50% success rate using glossy front and logo back. I haven't
even bothered w/ the back for the gas cards and still usually walk out
with the goods.
I've been couponing hundreds and hundreds
of dollars worth of groceries every weekend for nearly five months and
it only gets better and better. Pbx is no problem. Added $G & HT to
my list of conquests in the past week. Plenty of regional chains like
them and Ing seem to treat these like cash w/ no real problems. Knock
80-90% off of your grocery bill and pay for the remainder w/ a fresh
free VISA. What could be better?
-
Hey GL- Just wanted to wish you best of luck and all of the
†The Lotus Legends Inc.†™ not only have your back but you and your
family will be in our thoughts bud. Don't stress bout us...we can handle
a few days without you (I Hope!! LOL). But take care of the family and
we aren't going anywhere....besides the big chains and screwing them
with your amazing coup collection!! YEEHAAWW EVERYONE SEND SOME LOVE TO
GL AND THE LOTUS FAM!

Went on a run yesterday and didn't get anything. Both CVS's refused
saying we will never accept coupons for gift cards. Tried Black
Ops 2 at gamestop and it didn't work, He said that gamestop coupons
should have an EBC at the begginning of the UPC and to try it at best
buy. Then I try the kindle fire HD 7" and hand this lady the
coupon she says idk if it will work but I will try, first one doesn't
work so I say hey try this one and hand her the alternate UPC kindle
coupon and that one doesn't work either. At this point it's 9pm
and all the stores are closing. Feeling defeated and ashamed I
start the drive home and I get a call from my friend telling me he just
accidentally broke my $500 bong. What a great day! lol but I plan
to hit the high seas and plunder and rape success to make up for such a
shitty run yesterday.
Oh I almost forgot. I tried the 76750
UPC full page visas at a local grocery store and the coupons when
scanned, didn't work. Might be something with Roche. Bros.
-
KHorne, I'm guessing you are matching the UPCs and know which ones go with which items right?
Just
a thought... otherwise just stick to it and you will find success. I
actually took a run the other day and went 3/3. Got the Internet on the
Go hostpot, a free $25 refill card, and a ROKU 2.
Also, avoid
Gamestop. they are franchises and can do anything they want. They have
no coupon policy, some don't accept them at all, but regardless there is
no system there and it's all up to the owner.
Kindle's are
tricky, you gotta try to find a way to get a look at the UPC, even with 2
options, they still might be playing number games out there. And don't
try that one at Target, just in case. Also I hope you did get a good
amount of OC use first. I can't stress enough how important that is to
experience and gain the knowledge and experience that comes with it.
Thanks
for all the wishes. I am always thinking about you guys, I can't help
that, but it's wonderful to be with my family and tomorrow raps up
surgery, and I'll play some kind of roll in taking care during recovery
but otherwise I'll always have my internet (or even internet on the go
now, hahah)
I finally completed my goal of going on a coupon trip
with a partner. This was a ton of fun and I see why people do it. I
just wanted to help her out and stock up her place so we printed tons of
shit and then hit three different stores, for like $250 in savings.
It's so much easier to make small talk and get the cashier to trust you
when you have someone else actually loading the shit on the belt while I
do my thing. Worked flawlessly.

@goldenlotus
whats up with the new gc coupons? no date on when the ones with 20 dollars off are coming out?
-
Killed today.
56 in the basket... they ended up owing me 3 dollars. Got the cash. lol.
Niiiice. That is the best feeling! Thanks for sharing.
-
Checking in!
Banged everyone with good +KARMA from post #975 to
post #1047.. ;D Hey GL. Hope family member has a
successful surgery with complete & full recovery bro..
-
what kind of paper do you guys for the gc's? Anyone know where to get paper that feels legit? ::)
-
I'm goin on a vacay and plan on getting some GC's along the
way. Is there any way of finding out what the UPCs might be before
getting there? Are there still only 2 major numbers for most
stores?
-
Sorry for the delay on the new coupons. This set is very much in the
works. I wish I could be more detailed about my life so people would
understand easier, but for right now I have a significant issue that has
pulled me away from being able to contribute. I just check my messages
and fill out orders for 30 minutes a few times a day right now, but soon
this life event will be over and by Thursday I'll be back at home and
I'd really love to say a Friday release is gonna happen, but I'd say by
Sunday tops. Shit can, and almost always does happen, but so it goes...
We have big plans, and this is just the beginning. Summer should be an
INSANE time for our community and I'll personally be much more active
and producing more quality work. And oh shit, I might be getting ahead
of myself, but after Summer 2013, comes Christmas!!! That was the best
part of 2012 by a LONG shot. Christmas is going to kick ass this year, I
don't know about you guys but I already got everyone's presents, haha.
Yes Advocate, you should find mostly those same UPCs in any State. VISA and MC vary a LOT though...
-
+1 Karma for the Lotus Family. Thinking of you, and wishing you and yours the best. We're here for you bud.
-
Hope all is well too, take your time man. Family first...coupons are a close second!
-
hey I was just curious, when you guys are talking about going to
kohls was that to get gift cards with the coupons? do they have
the same type gift card setup like at walmart and kmart, etc?
-
hey
I was just curious, when you guys are talking about going to kohls was

anyone
know the upc on kohls visas? 76750? :o and do people have any luck
coupon-ing at kohls? There's one semi-near me and I wanna hit it soon
-
Let us know how it goes. 8)
-
We had a good run with mostly the $100 amex gift cards around here
getting about $500 worth but it seems like its time to move on to
another part of town as things are getting sketchy here now. One
big regional gas station mini-mart chain where we had been having %100
success sent out an e-mail warning managers to not take coupons for free
gift cards. We tried to go back to hit a k-mart twice and they
were acting sketchy and our local walmart manager saw us walk in and
immediately had an employee follow us around the store lol. Now
we've burned our local walmart too many times, not all giftcards but
swapping tags, abusing the oc to get hundreds of dollars in overage and
free merchandise/cash back, and outright shoplifting we will have to
drive to the super walmart to shop. We'll still probobly keep some
giftcard coupons for when we're in a new area to try on a random cvs
here and there but it looks like the money machine the ac was for us has
dried up. It was so easy in the begining we were having an %80
success rate but most of the stores caught on quickly. And it
appears you can abuse even walmart too much and overstay your
welcome. It seemed like they were so oblivious and would never
catch on but i guess we were doomed to push it too far eventually, we
have walked out of there with $1000s of dollars in merchandise over the
past year or two.
-
Now

haha,
ummm yeah dude--you might wanna lay low for a bit.... WM doesn't fuck
around and prosecuting to the full extent of the law and have teams of
lawyers just to fuck you over. The bastards pressed charges on my
11 year old brother several years back for stealing some random keychain
that was worth about a nickel. I think he got banned from all WM's too
haha.
-
swapping tags, abusing the oc to get hundreds of dollars in overage and free merchandise/cash back, and outright shoplifting
Why
would you do these things? Have you not learned the lesson of the
sheep? One can shear a sheep many times but skin it only once. If you go
into a store and tear the hell out of it several times, you will be
noticed and stopped. If you casually come in and do around $50 twice a
week you can carry on for a very long time!
Others please learn from tweak358. Tweak358 please learn from your mistakes or stop altogether.
-
there are about 4 other walmarts within about 12 miles of me, just a
little annoying i abused the one only a few miles away. and i
have heard of them prosecuting some crazy cases but the employees dont
seem to give a crap usually so it was easy pickings for the past couple
years. I heard walmart observed someone for over a month
collecting evidence on him before finally grabbing him and pressing
charges.
-
I think you should listen to the warnings here tweak358.
It's
safe to assume that you have caught LP attention and they ain't
stupid... they aren't confined to 1 store either, they go regional.
IMO
T4B is right, you skinned your sheep... good news, it was delicious ;)
now lay low for a couple of months minimum or move to another city lol
-
went on another run yesterday with the HC and went a little better. 1/8.
I
would like to see some alternatives to the e-centives thing, because
when the CSM lady at this grocery store saw that, she knew it was fake.
Also
I tried the dre studio beats at a walmart and although they tried the
coupon all that came up rather than a discounted $250 was a dollar sign
so I don't know if it's the new system walmart has that is screwing with
the HC or what but it didn't work.
Lots of Walgreens / CVS in my
area I can tell have already been hit by the HC, as when I present the
gift cards and coupons they say, "there are no such things as coupons
for gift cards, If you did these surveys, the companies would send you
the actual cards" As though they have all been given fresh and
explicit instructions in case of a couponer. Although my only
success that day was a 40 off 50 99366 visa at a CVS.
Guess
I just gotta keep exploring, I know what I'm doing with the UPCs and
shit too. Targets are great but keep it under $50 of savings
-
total raping for the day:
cvs - $50 exxon card
walgreens - $100 visa card
kmart - $100 amex card
booyah!!!
I
randomly ended up next to a cvs this morning after some errands and
thought what the hell, I had some coupons left over in the car from a
previous run....sure enough it worked like a champ for a $50 exxon gas
card. no questions asked.
next stop was a walgreens by my
crib....It was kind of funny too, the first $100 visa gift card I
brought up there the girl (obviously not happy about working there,
complaining about how they just upgraded the computer and pos system
yada yada) she scanned the card and coupon and tried a couple
times...didnt know what to do obviously, said it didnt work with "this
gift card" and said there might be a different one over there that
worked. so I ended up going over there and grabbed a $25-$500
reloadable visa gc (instead of a straight up $100 card, which on a side
note I was wondering if they would work anyway since it didnt have the
exact $ value my coupon did) with matching upc and came back up, had her
scan again. she had the same issue only to call over a manager,
the manager looked at it and immediately said something like "just put
in the amount off ($100)" and it worked fine. the cashier just
didnt know how to ring it up in the system, lol the first card I brought
up there would have probably worked just fine. it worked though
after the manager came over and reassured her. The manager couldnt
care less about me getting the gift card either! Not a care in
the world! So after feeling high from my such easy success from
walgreens, I tried another walgreens RIGHT DOWN THE STREET. I
ended up with some douche bag career walgreens manager, with a shitty
chin strapped beard saying we dont accept these, there have been emails
going around about these....
then I stopped at a kmart, in a more
ghetto part of town. I went in and found an amex card for $100
matching the upc of course and went up to the register. It was a
younger female cashier, was very taken back by the coupon and was
basically jealous that I had it. she scanned and it went through
no prob!!! she said something along the lines of man " you know what I
could do with this?" hahahahaha.
I did try a couple other
places today and got shot down, but all in all it was a good day.
one walmart I went to straight up told me at the register that I had to
purchase/activate gift cards at customer service counter....anyone had
that happen before? It was weird, so I still tried anyway at the
customer service counter, only to have the customer service rep go ask a
manager and then the manager came back saying some BS about internet
coupon are bogus, bla bla (obviously they have been hit at this store or
something).
anyway, sorry for the long post but I am kinda drunk and stoned, figured I would post my successes and failures for the day.
-
Hey Hey couponanotors.... Just checking in...GL,,I'm pumped to hear
about the new stuff! I think things are getting kind throwed with the
GC's over here in my neck of the woods...or maybe I'm not persistent
enough...I get discouraged after 3-4 turn downs in a row. I did however
get $10 back on a go phone and a $100 worth of refill cards on my last
run...a friend hit some hard times and needed a phone so here you go =o)
Thanks GL! I really want to go score a Keurig this weekend, anyone had
any luck with this one? Where at? Let me know...Thanks and keep on
saving!

ya...tried
it with a chipotle gc (at wallyworld)and the guy cashier couldnt figure
it out......csm lady "never seen one before" acted suspicious asked me
where i got it....after i said my mom gave it to me she was more willing
to try to put it thru but it kepts saying "scan rgs barcode" or
something so she wanted me to go up to cutomer service with her but i
was already late for something.....so i told her i'd come back later and
took off
I havent been able to get one single GC .... i also
live in a major city......so im probly not the only one who try to pull
these off around here ....all the stores in my area must have been
warned, but the OC still saves me around $90 a week!
I got a question for all the fellow couponers.....
I
realized target doesnt require ID for returned goods w/o reciept you
just get a gift card for the lowest price that item has been. sooo....
If
i were to take some good $9,$10 coupons to wallymArt...return the goods
to target (making sure they carry the same good of couse) for a
giftcard at target.use that target GC to buy any GC
(visa...bestbuy....exxon...) and use those giftcards as i want.
Anyone see any flaws/concerns with this plan?

well i tried it and this is what i learned today:
Same product in each store may have diff. upc :( wont scan.
target DOES require ID to return goods(guess the first guy just didnt give a shit)
target
only allows $70/year in returns.(per ID) after you are over that, they
allow you to exchange that product with something else in the same dept
(food for other food, electronics for other electronics....etc.)
Target does not let you buy giftcards with store credit giftcards from returns. waah waah
-
my brain hurts now trying to figure that one out ahaha

Well
Shoot. I'm probably approaching my yearly limit with Tarjey then too
because I've returned several coupon-ed things receiptless and bought
some clothes and lingerie with store credit. bOO! I thought that aspect
of GL's coups was awesome! So does anyone know if Wally world has a
limit on receiptless returns there???
Excited to see what new
coups you have for us gL. Like someone else already said, family comes
first. We'll all be here waiting when your thru helping out your fam.
Good luck and health to you all. I have the oc, hc, and lottery
collections. I didn't get the ac because it seemed like its value is
mainly gift cards. I haven't tried any gc's yet and don't plan to even
use the hc I think. I'm intimidated by it. I'm just one of those who
thinks I could be more confident in pulling off a gc coup for dollars
off instead of free ;)
-
So does anyone know if Wally world has a limit on receiptless returns there???
Yeah, I have been told Wally's limit is slightly higher, $100 or $125 per year...
-
I found that Target lets you go closer to $100 a year. Yes ID is
required, so either use a scannable ID from one of my brother forgery
vendors, or just NEVER return to the same store you couponed at, go to
the next Target or have a friend do it.
Each year it resets and
BestBuy allows for returns on electronics, no questions asked if they
sell it, and I have NEVER hit any limit there.
@jeromebaker: Yes I
have pulled that truck too. couldn't find the denomination I wanted, so
got one of those you could load any amount, and had them do it and it
worked!
In NON coupon related news. The major situation I have
been dealing with in life lately with one of my few immediate family
members left went absolutely perfect. Best possible news ever on what
was a real bad situation. I'll be busy spending time in recovery and
helping and stuff, but we are really close to some new content here for
sure. Everything is working out well and we have some great plans and
many of them done and ready for us to complete.
Here is a
question... I know people want X off GC coupons but do you want $10 off
$15 GC or $40 off $50 or $90 off $100? LOL I obviously cant honor them
all, but what works best for our needs? Lower things like $15 off $20 GC
so yall can self checkout them and make it more believable?
going
to try to get the new ROKU 2 coupon into a ROKU 3 and get that to you
all who own the HC right away. We gotta start stocking up for Christmas
HAHA. Got some more HC additions too. We haven't moved away from our
model of making free additions, we are just also trying to expand into
new areas and new concepts that deserve it's own listing.
I think
by now you all know me well enough to know I truly care about all of
you, and that I'm very motivated to this thing and it's not all about
making a coin to me. Ya'll are my friends.
always meeting great
people doing this. And the community on this thread alone looks out for
each other like nothing I've seen before. SR is a great place and I
wouldn't change a thing. All the setbacks where handled and worked out
for the best for us, and here we are, running shit.. I don't plan on
going anywhere and have great things coming and more time to make it all
happen soon.
Thank you to all my friends who had me in their
thoughts recently... no better feeling in the world than to have
everything work out perfectly and know I had people wishing me the best
the whole time,

Great news!! very happy for you. Fuck everything else, health and
family #1 but thanks for updating us anyway :) This is truly a great
community
-
Hey Lotus,
Glad to hear things are going well with you're
family stuff. The great thing about this community is that we always
have mad respect for those vendors/customers who are going thru
difficult times IRL. You have a huge support group bro so we are here
for you thru thick n thin...no homo.
Ha anyway, I just wanted to
make a couple suggestions in regards to futures coups; I think that the
beats studio are way too high amount off for it to work...I've tried
everywhere. It's really starting to piss me off bc I never fail! haha.
So maybe drop it down a bit if you could brotha? I find the "warranty
expiration ones" work well (just to keep in mind). In regards to money
off coups...I can't complain as I've had no issues with the hundo worth
ones per usual :)
One last thing..I think I need to get on dat
rogaine train! That shit's expensive! So I can get you the 3 pack upcs
or just one pack, either or. Also, I dunno if anyone drinks "Vita
Coco-Coconut Water" but it's damn good. At least 3 bucks a pop tho so if
those bitches could get down to half that I'd be savin a lot of cash
money. Thanks again brotha! I'll PM you or vice versa with the info if
you are down. Peace!
Hitting everyone wit dat karmaaaaaa ahhh yeeaaaa!!! :D
Regards,

Where have people been having success with self checkout of GCs?

Happy to hear you're out of the woods with the family situation,
PGL! If they're anything like you I'm sure they'll be fightin'
right on through any ailment they may have.
As an aside, I'd also like to second biologicalman's Coconut Water suggestions. Shit's great but way too expensive!

Yes,
that is exactly what is coming next my friend... thanks for asking 3
times in a row while I already was explaining the delay. Price just
doubled for you... LOL jk... but You can stop asking now, you are
getting what you asked for as quickly as I can release it.
If you have success with your request, you should tip me. Those are the people who get heard first when they ask for something.

Ahh checking in, checking in....So sorry for the lack of
updates. First off to those who are on the fence, buy now, buy
them all, buy the new ones when they come. Anyways moving
right along. Been absolutely stocking up on the $25 restaurant
gift cards. Got sent out for graduation gifts, mothers day,
etc Best results at Target and Wal Mart. the occasional no
but really with these I'm talking 85% success rate. Of course been
tearing up the grocery coupons on the regular. Typically
doing $75-$100 with a coupon for everything usually costs
about $15-$25 out of pocket. Only hiccup I can recall is Banana
boat didn't ring up at one store but did the other, no biggie.
Lotus glad to hear the family is well. Turkey for Breakfast still
having great success with that McD's coupon, thanks again. I
came to SR for the great medical marijuana, came across the lotus
listing while trying to spend leftover btc's. Life
changing!! Holy shit we can afford food, actually grab a bite out
to eat every once in a while now. I've got to get a good method to
get the gas cards to pass and I need to do the damn couponing
lessons. Anyways I'm rambling thanks to TweetB's excellent bubble
hash and Cheese. Coupons mentioned come from AC, GC,
OC and lessons.
peace

oh i was just answering ur question lol.. u said
""Here
is a question... I know people want X off GC coupons but do you want
$10 off $15 GC or $40 off $50 or $90 off $100? LOL I obviously cant
honor them all, but what works best for our needs? Lower things like $15
off $20 GC so yall can self checkout them and make it more
believable?"""
so i answered
and i was not aware
of tipping didnt think u accepted tips.. sorry if they do end up
working i promise i will tip u.. i still havent got any of the AC GC to
work in my area.. they tell me they cant take em.. hoping these
new ones work out for me..
-
Haha of course GL accepts tips for good service and filling people's
specific requests! He just forgot his tip cup address in the new
signature it looks like...
Will there be an intro price on the
new pack GL? If so I need to get some BTC on the way so I don't miss
out...well I want to buy that shit right away either way so it doesn't
matter--how much is this one going for?

I'm
sorry my friend. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I
thought you were asking again, but I forgot all about asking people to
tell me denominations. Sorry, didn't mean to be a douche about it. But
yea, you got it.

Glad to see your family member is better and anger management is working for you PL!
psyched about updates and/or new pack

Get
BTC ready anyway. Even if there is a discount price if you are able to
afford it consider tipping GL a bit extra for being such a stand up guy?

Recently bought the HC, here's how my first run went:
My route consisted of one huge square, over a few blocks. I hit up 3 CVSs, 2 Walgreens, 1 Target, and 1 Walmart.
Coupons Attempted: $50 shell, $40 of 50 visa, Free Black Ops II
Denied
at all CVS stores and got the same rehearsed response "we do not take
coupons for gift cards, the manufacturer would send them directly to
you."
-For the 40 off 50, I used the "my father travels a lot and
sends me some of his benefits" excuse. And then the "I doubt my dad
would send me a fraudulent coupon, he's a traveling doctor!" when I was
outright denied.
I usually ask for the manager at this point. He
comes over and I continue to push hard for him to at least scan these.
"Coupons like these are usually fraudulent" he says "I wouldn't be
surprised if this in fact scanned correctly."
At another CVS the chick just angrily pushed the coupon back to me and said these r fake.
I also got denied at Walgreens but they weren't such dicks about it. I can probably get them to work here maybe.
Target
scanned the 40 off 50 but it came up as invalid at the register once I
convinced the CSM to at least try it. I made sure the UPC matched. She
nicely told me to try contacting Hyatt directly.
And my final stop, Walmart:
Fuck
gift cards! I'm gonna try and get Black Ops II for free. I go to the
electronics dept, find a cool lookin dude not really doing anything. He
gets the game for me and I meet him at the register. I hand him the
coupon, he thinks it's SO COOL that I won a free copy. "Yeah!" I reply,
"You know how sometimes you visit a website and then this thing pops up
asking you to take a survey? DO IT! Apparently sometimes you might get
free shit!" He scans it, tells me the CSM has to come over to approve
it. We both talk for the 10 mins that it takes for the CSM to arrive.
The
CSM comes over, the cashier explains the whole deal. "NEATO!" the CSM
says and then does her little key trick in the register to override it.
At
this point I notice this HUGE dude walk out of the dept with his game
face on. In my head I was like, that's probably Wraithe fucking shit up
again.
Anyway this message pops up on the total screen, after the CSM turns her key "coupon over $ limit"
She asks the cashier "Have you seen people coming in with these"
The cashier says "Yeah, all the time"
AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER WINKS AT ME! LIKE HE FUCKIN KNEW THE WHOLE TIME.
After
I got the free copy of the game I thought I was trippin'. I recounted
the moment I thought I saw Wraithe and then how surreal this dude's wink
was. But holy shit it felt amazing. Thank you GL! I need to find a new
strategy for the gift cards, but the HC has already paid for itself so
thank you.
If anyone has any pointers on how to make these
GCs work at CVS/Walgreens please send me a pm. I'm going to try the
smaller amounts just so I can have a little success.
Thanks!

FINALLY,
I can post a reply in the big boy thread.
Golden,
keep up all the amazing work. You've got some btc coming your way later
this week from me. I've been waiting a long time to get to this damn
thread; since the days of page 200 in PL's thread to be exact. The next
step will be giving all you beautiful mothafuckas +1's.
on a semi non-related note, does anyone still have that mcdonalds coup floating around that could shoot one out to me?
thanks in advance to the greatest community that exists today.
-
Hey Parabolic,
That coupon is in the lottery pack on GL's page if you would like it you should buy the pack or talk to T4B since he made it.
-
Oh, alright; helllll yeah.
I didn't realize it was in any of the packs, I only saw it earlier in the thread.
thanks khorne

Really glad to hear the family situation is under control....I know
all too well how important health is and how everything else takes a
backseat when something comes up.
On a side note/Thank you,I cannot
tell you how much you saved me on presents at christmas time! I think
everyone of my family got the roku and my little brother got the ps3
so whatever you have in mind for the next round I'm SURE is going to be fantastic.
Stay well fellas,enjoy the extended weekend and happy pillaging!

Hey guys. I need a spot where i can buy them burner att phones. with minutes.. Walmart or target??
-
Went for more runs yesterday, got 2 $25 amazon cards, 2 $50 amazon cards, 3 Shell Gas cards, 2 AT&T prepaid cards.
Not
a bad day. I recommend to print watermarks on the back of the coupons, I
have seen the cashiers look on the back of the coupons most of the
time. Yesterday the manager at Staples came over to look and told the
cashier, "see there is a watermark that means it is real" We tried to
hold it in and not to lol. Also started to use holograms on some of
them. Seems to help as well.

nice,
haha....what type of water marks are you referring too? Are you
just 'shopping some watermarks onto the backside and printing?
like the visa/amex/mc logos? or whatever brand/company the GC is
for?
I scored a $100 visa GC at walgreens yesterday! sadly
that was the only score I got out of roughly 8 or 10 stops last
night.....of course it was like the first place I went to so I was
riding high into the other stores: no luck though with 3 walmarts, 1
cvs, 3 other walgreens(not including the one I did beat), 1 target, and
an office max. These places were all in the next town over, my
hometown worked better for me but I dont want to ruin it. I will
try some other neighboring cities and test my luck.

Keep up the good fight.

soooooo.....I had a talk with my good friend about these coupons, he
is someone that I tossed a few coupons to just because I know he is
struggling right now. he had a genius idea (or so I think) which I
wanted to run past you guys and see what you thought.
Long story
short he ended up scoring a $100 GC and is fucking ecstatic! His
girl works at a restaurant and he decided to have her use the card to
pay for customers that were paying with cash and just pocket the
cash. He ended up with the $100 cash, does this sound like a
feasible thing to do on the regular? It seems like it would work
in theory, and would be an easy way to get anonymous cash out of the
cards...

Okay, everyone. This is the post I have been waiting to create since
day #1 when I purchased the OC pack around January of this year. I will
try to stay vague, yet thorough in explaining how much these coupons
helped to save my life. Here is a little background on myself so that
the numbers I will provide will make a bit of sense:
I am
mid-twenties male who lived in a house with 2 other roomies. We
discovered these coupons and used them religiously at our local stores
for roughly 3.5 months of living. Over the course of these ~108 days, I
have the receipts from 28 transactions; I am sure that I misplaced some
but this is enough data to paint a pretty little picture for anyone who
hasn't yet bought these packs (if you still exist).
We (as a
household) spent $1,215.51 on transactions that used coupons. On those
transactions, we saved $960.80. This means that the PL/GL OC pack
covered a
WHOPPING/MAGNIFICENT/WONDERFUL/AMAZING/FLAT-OUT-FUCKING-SHOCKING 79.05%
of our grocery expenses. Here are a couple of other interesting numbers
from my data pool for you number junkies:
Avg Amount Spent/trip: $43.41
Avg Amount Saved/trip: $34.31
Most $ Saved/1 trip: $58.00
A
lot of these transactions contained items that were not covered by
coupons (meat, fresh fruit, etc) and as I stated, this is not a complete
log of my activity. Some transactions were actually one trip with 2
different bundles of coupons (some were even 1 trip with 4 bundles) so
these things slightly skew the numbers as well. No tax was considered in
these calculations either.
I can not thank you enough Lotus for
what you have done for me. Without these puppies, my last 5 months would
have been nearly impossible. I was forced to abstain from drugs during
most of this time due to a complete lack of funds and these things just
saved my ass. I also want to throw a shout out to this community. I've
kept up reading the threads for the most part, especially at the
beginning (now I'm almost caught up again). I learned tricks of the
trade and gained immeasurable confidence through application when it
comes to social engineering. You guys are like family to me and I dont
know a single one of your names (shoutout to 420blindman, shrek,
advocate, T4B, visa, handsoap, and many others whos names currently
escape me). The things I read in these threads really give me back the
hope in humanity that I thought I'd lost. I'm glad to finally be a part
of the board and can't wait to see what the future holds for us!
mad love to all you beautiful people!

Just wanted to check in and say THANK YOU PL/GL!!!!! This shit is great!!!

wife happy! The OC has saved thousands! This is great for being in the
tight spot that we are. I have also started making trips to pick up
goods for the tornado victims.
I have one other question to ask. Anyone know a good MDMA vendor?
Soon once my bitcoin hit i'll be Getting the Coupon making kit!!!!
Thanks again PL/GL

To all who make sacrifices in the service to others, I thank you. (This includes vendors.) ;D

Yeah,
Just photoshop the company logo on the back, turn it about 30 Degrees,
and make it a little bit transparent and that works.

I have a couple friends who work at walmart
do you guys think it would be a good idea to use some of the more difficult coupons with them?
I have spoken with them and they are ok with my going thru their lines
would they be able to let the coupons slide more easy without getting fired?

That's
awesome. The thing is, anything over $50 in savings at Wal-Mart will
require CSM approval, so it won't be up to your friends in the end. But,
if you're keeping it below $50 and they are in on it, I would hit that
shit up ALL day. Especially if you have 2 friends that work there.
You're a lucky bastard, I'd be getting so many GC's from there.

thats awesome ill go for it then! I have 4 friends that work at different ones pretty close to me
and one of them actually was just promoted to a CSM position. there would be no way walmart would
know that I know them personally.
ill try this out and let you guys know how it goes

Eskimo.
First off welcome to our group. Second, Wal-Mart's policies have been
gone over on this thread a ton. They are pretty straight forward.
Basically, if you go over $50 in total coupons a CSM is required to
override. Others have said any single coupon over $20 requires a CSM
override, but I have personally run $25 coupons recently and not had
this happen, so it may be some stores and not others or it may not be
the case at all. As long as the coupon scans properly and the cashier
does not have to key it in, and you stay beneath $50 in total savings
you should be golden.
Wal-mart has also changed their policies
at certain stores lately as well. Depending on your store you might have
more trouble or less. I have 4 Wal-Marts which I go to regularly. 3 of
them have implemented the difficult policies. Of those 3, 2 of them are
strict and 1 of them lets things go. Under the new system, some
coupons just randomly won't work. The cashiers are not allowed to
manually enter them. A CSM can, but some will and some won't. Also
recently at all my stores when a cashier manually enters a coupon it has
required a CSM override. This was not the case in the past.
Very
weird things happening at Wal-Mart lately. Be aware and be careful. Too
many CSM calls will raise your profile. Just be smart and test things
out. If you have friends working the registers you might actually be
able to help us all out. If your store is one with the new system maybe
you can get your buddies to scan a bunch of the coupons and see which
ones are not working. Then we can begin the long process of reworking
the bar codes. It would also give us the opportunity to see if minor
changes to the offer code will fix the problem!
Do me a favor.
Do a test run with one of your friends as your cashier. If you have a
coupon come up not working (it will show "$$$" on their screen and
"Scanned coupon #######-######" on yours) take that one aside and let us
know. Then we can rework it on our side and send you back in with the
same coupon only reworked and see if the system is flagging specific bar
codes or blanket items/manufacturers. If there is any part of this that
you are unclear about PM me and I will clear it up for you..
Regards,
T4B
P.S. yours and my karma are almost exactly proportional...

shit up ALL day. Especially if you have 2 friends that work there.
You're a lucky bastard, I'd be getting so many GC's from there.
thats awesome ill go for it then! I have 4 friends that work at different ones pretty close to me
and one of them actually was just promoted to a CSM position. there would be no way walmart would
know that I know them personally.
ill try this out and let you guys know how it goes
If
you know someone in the CSM position you could easily use the higher
value coupons. Free kindle, beats headphones, $100 visas, etc.

I have a couple friends who work at walmart
do you guys think it would be a good idea to use some of the more difficult coupons with them?
I have spoken with them and they are ok with my going thru their lines
would they be able to let the coupons slide more easy without getting fired?
Eskimo.
First off welcome to our group. Second, Wal-Mart's policies have been
gone over on this thread a ton. They are pretty straight forward.
Basically, if you go over $50 in total coupons a CSM is required to
override. Others have said any single coupon over $20 requires a CSM
override, but I have personally run $25 coupons recently and not had
this happen, so it may be some stores and not others or it may not be
the case at all. As long as the coupon scans properly and the cashier
does not have to key it in, and you stay beneath $50 in total savings
you should be golden.
Wal-mart has also changed their policies
at certain stores lately as well. Depending on your store you might have
more trouble or less. I have 4 Wal-Marts which I go to regularly. 3 of
them have implemented the difficult policies. Of those 3, 2 of them are
strict and 1 of them lets things go. Under the new system, some
coupons just randomly won't work. The cashiers are not allowed to
manually enter them. A CSM can, but some will and some won't. Also
recently at all my stores when a cashier manually enters a coupon it has
required a CSM override. This was not the case in the past.
Very
weird things happening at Wal-Mart lately. Be aware and be careful. Too
many CSM calls will raise your profile. Just be smart and test things
out. If you have friends working the registers you might actually be
able to help us all out. If your store is one with the new system maybe
you can get your buddies to scan a bunch of the coupons and see which
ones are not working. Then we can begin the long process of reworking
the bar codes. It would also give us the opportunity to see if minor
changes to the offer code will fix the problem!
Do me a favor.
Do a test run with one of your friends as your cashier. If you have a
coupon come up not working (it will show "$$$" on their screen and
"Scanned coupon #######-######" on yours) take that one aside and let us
know. Then we can rework it on our side and send you back in with the
same coupon only reworked and see if the system is flagging specific bar
codes or blanket items/manufacturers. If there is any part of this that
you are unclear about PM me and I will clear it up for you..
Regards,
T4B
P.S. yours and my karma are almost exactly proportional...
I
wish I knew what caused some coups to flag. The carrots&ranch
never work but when I check the code in the coup its legit and does not
differ from any other product coupon. Same thing with the skinny
cow coupon. but others work just fine. I dont think a csm
will even be able to help because I dont think the system knows at all
unless there is a checksum with the amounts or serial. Thats the
only thing I can think of but that doesnt tell me why it only works on
some
-
The new system is all kinds of fucked up. it would be awesome if
someone on the inside can help zero in on the problem but as much as I
hate to agree with wraithe ;) I don't think a CSM would understand the
random flags.

A
random CSM won't be able to shed light on how the system works. But
through trial and error, if we have someone with some cashier friends we
can test different coupons, alter the bar codes then test again and try
to zero in on what is failing. So far everything I have made works
fine. It is possible that as they discover which ones are bad they are
data basing the bar codes and simply changing a digit in the offer code
could put us outside their purview.
This is exciting and hopefully Eskimo will be up for helping us out!

i
talked to lotus and the skinnycow and the carrots were brand new with
unique offer ids. they didnt work from day one at walmart.
so it isnt them blacklisting offer ids and I talked to cashiers and they
said the peel-offs from the coca-cola boxes werent working
either.

Good
info wraithe. I remember the first time they tried this I had legit
ones from Bob Evans mashed potatoes, peeled right off the container.
Same deal. I had forgotten about that. Nonetheless we can try different
things. Throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.
-
Don't want to scare new customers. Some people are having issues at
Walmart, it seems to be Walmarts problem and not even related to our
coupons, but just don't use Walmart for now if you are unsure. If you
have had no issue then move forward, but if you have issues,then Walmart
is the issue and not us, so I don't think I can fix it. Just avoid WM
for now if your stuck.
-
Haha I love that site and I literally the ONLY time I go to Wal-mart is when grabbing GC's.
-
soooooo.....I
had a talk with my good friend about these coupons, he is someone that I
tossed a few coupons to just because I know he is struggling right
now. he had a genius idea (or so I think) which I wanted to run
past you guys and see what you thought.
Long story short he ended
up scoring a $100 GC and is fucking ecstatic! His girl works at a
restaurant and he decided to have her use the card to pay for customers
that were paying with cash and just pocket the cash. He ended up
with the $100 cash, does this sound like a feasible thing to do on the
regular? It seems like it would work in theory, and would be an
easy way to get anonymous cash out of the cards...
im
not trying to jump in the middle of everything, but I was curious about
what you guys thought about my post above from the other day? I
think it is a possible way to turn peoples GC to cash anonymously and
wanted to put this idea out there if you think it could work...

Sorry
GL. I didn't mean to raise any alarm bells. I have not had any real
issues getting about everything pushed through at any of my Wal-Marts,
but their system is arbitrarily rejecting coupons. Some locations have
this system some don't. Eventually they will either scrap this system or
fix it so it works and we can work around it. Target and other stores
are still working wonderfully and we are still reaping mad rewards. I
actually spent $100 today, but that was still above 70% savings! Mostly
on baby things. Diapers, formula etc, as well as about $40 in non-coupon
items. This is just one day in the life. We could not be surviving
without this collection. Thank you GL and thank you to the community.
Love all you guys.

As
long as her supervisors aren't scrutinizing why all her tables pay with
gift cards then I don't see why not. But remember one thing, cash is
king. Every establishment wants cash whether they are planning to evade
taxes or not (just about every restaurant does, I'm sure). So if the
owners are noticing a spike in gift cards that's irregular for them and
see it all coming from the same waitress it might raise a red flag. Just
something to consider.
-
No worries. This is for bad reports too. I just keep trying to put
the attention on Walmart as being the problem in this situation.
You know we love you too.

Great work GL, finally read through all these pages, going to purchase the OC tomorrow :)

YES, you definitely should.
I
just grabbed the AC pack yesterday and loaded up on ink today. Tomorrow
is my only day off (forever, it seems like) so I'm going to hit the
high seas and see what happens. Gift cards galore!
I'll report back..

I
am in the restaurant business, specifically owner /operator role and I
will say that this will definitely raise suspicion. Gift cards are
pretty rare (in a sense of the overall picture) so if you turn in during
your check out 35% GC orders your GM will know something is up.. Just
my input. Grateful to have these coupons
-
get info thanks guys, ill be out to talk with my walmart buddies this week and update you all
with what we find out
-
Gone for 8 days and have to read 6 pages of posts. Took almost an
hour. I gotta stop making a habit of leaving for weeks at a time. :P
PGL
I'm glad to hear that everything is going well with your family member,
almost as glad as I am to know that you'll be giving us more
coupons.... OH THAT'S HORRIBLE. I joke. I joke. Family is first
priority. Even when you have millions (overstatement? nah... just give
it a few months. :P ) of fans counting on you.
Haven't used the
GC/AC lately. Mostly just using the OC. Told my sister that I'd print
her out coupons if she brought me paper. Her and her roommate went to
Target. Two shopping carts full. Two different registers. Two handfuls
of coupons. She texted me on the way home "OMG WE SAVED A SHIT TON OF
MONEY."
Think if I can just get her to buy ink and paper and I
print coupons for her the packs will pay for themselves in a few months
(not that they haven't already. Have made my money back x10 at least in
GCs).
My 2yo niece also came up to me the next day and thanked me
for the McDonalds. :P So thank you Turkey for Breakfast for that one.
Anyways.
Just checking in. Been collecting that Bitcoin dust every day,
hopefully I'll have enough to tip PGL for all his hard work soon.
-
Okay. I've been looking through the coupons and came across the
Regal GC coupon. I have no idea how I didn't see this before. This will
save so much money for me because I love going out to the movies. And
it's gotten so expensive.
Where have people found these gift cards? I haven't seen them anywhere.
I
don't have Kmart in my area, and CVS and Walgreens do not accept the
free GC coups in my area as they all actually read the memo.
Thanks guys.

I
actually just knocked out the Regal GC at two different CVS's more or
less.. First time I only printed the $50 GC and they only had $25 and
$30. I tried to get the manager to push through two $25s, but he said it
wouldn't work. He tried though and this was a location where I had
failed with VISA GCs several months ago. So just because they have
denied VISAs doesn't mean they will decline Regal GCs. The second place I
had 2x $25 and they rang them up no problem. Different location. I also
told the first location I would "get in touch with the website I got
them from and see if I could get 2x $25 instead and the guy seemed
totally cool with me coming back.. Not sure I will for quite a while,
but I think I could...
Good luck jacob

That
is what I was thinking.....but this restaurant is one of those where
bills are easily over $100 for a table, our thought process was
this: Occasionally have her use a $100 GC to pay a bill, maybe
once in a night and then wait a couple days before the next time.
Also, she said that a lot of the time the waitresses use each others
codes to place orders in the system so the GC being used by her might
not always be under her name at the end of the night for check
out. I think it could work as long as we dont take advantage, just
like pillaging for the GC.
-
I got some PM's asking about the watermark, it is really simple to
do. I will be happy to give out the once I made if GL does not mind. All
you need to do is open them up in Irfanview go to print, and select
"Best fit to Page" and print. Then flip over the paper and print the
coupons.

In
NON coupon related news. The major situation I have been dealing with
in life lately with one of my few immediate family members left went
absolutely perfect. Best possible news ever on what was a real bad
situation. I'll be busy spending time in recovery and helping and stuff,
but we are really close to some new content here for sure. Everything
is working out well and we have some great plans and many of them done
and ready for us to complete.
Great news PL! Health is most important!!
Related
note: did you ever put out the updated SodaStream coupons os the long
promised Scott's TP or Tide coups? Updates still in the same place?
Long live the OC! ;)
-
Have to chime in and add my praise for the OC.
2 trips, 200% return on my investment. Even made some noobish mistakes, but still all good.
-
Ah yes, the lazy days of summer. :P Ain't nobody got time for dat!!!
Checking
in, rockin the OC hard(I gotta add up all of these receipts), paid $17
and some change(.76) for $150 in groceries because K-mart decided to
double coupons whenever you spend more than $25!!! I think this has
always been the policy, but I never did the OC there till yesterdays
sale. They do not give change back, they just mark the coup down
to the price of the item. Still double coupons kick ass!!! I
even think one said "do not double" and they did it anyway.
Wonder if it would work on GC's? Hmm....
The stores in my area
are ripe. I had a hell of a lot of success with everything yesterday, I
wonder if heavy shopping days make this any easier. One cashier
waited ten minutes for a manager, said "expletive it", and canceled my
transaction. She re-rang it and punched something in and I walked
out with a $100 visa without any CSM involvement, AT A EXPLETIVE
WALMART!!! The sweet taste of success.
Which brings me to
my bitter disappointment. I shared my blessings from Lotus with
others which has led to the mutiny of several honeyholes going to new
GC's which start out 43788. To make matters worse I just ran out
of Veri-fi paper. :'( Thank goodness I'm too shallow to be
sentimental.
Looks like it may be time for a cross country
couponing extravaganza. I'm moving on for greener pastures.
The grass is always greener where the weed is legal. ;D
-
there
are about 4 other walmarts within about 12 miles of me, just a little
annoying i abused the one only a few miles away. and i have heard
of them prosecuting some crazy cases but the employees dont seem to give
a crap usually so it was easy pickings for the past couple years.
I heard walmart observed someone for over a month collecting evidence
on him before finally grabbing him and pressing charges.
in addition to collecting evidence they let you steal enough to hit felony level charges
-
well i have tried seriously every single spot in a 30 mile radius
and still have not got ONE of the ADVANCED COUPON gift cards..
looks like they are all washed up around here.. fucking sucks.. complete waste of 50 dollars.. lol
its alright tho cuz the OC works fine.. i have so many hanes shirts and socks its insane..
fuckk.. i even seen places having there own printed signs saying cash and credit ONLY for gift cards..
fucking burnt!!
-
Whut? The Advanced rocks! I've already scored a $50 gas card and a
$25 gas card from the Advanced Collection. And I'm pretty sure I could
have as easily instead passed a $100 coupon each time. Both times were
at the K, which I've only just begun to plumb.
Oh sure, that
pales compared to the thousands I've saved - and made ;) - on the OC and
HC Collections, but I've had months to work on those. (I went 4/4 w/
the $100 V just a couple or so days ago, and still managed to get $60 or
$70 worth of nearly free Bunny snacks and other food in one Tarjay trip
for my folks. Oh, and I got an Android Go Phone for only $40 bucks
yesterday. Actually, all but less than $10 I covered w/ a red card which
I got from using GL's wares. And, of course, I used a purloined $100 V
to cover that miniscule remainder.)
GL rocks so goddamned hard that I can't imagine why I would ever even contemplate disparaging anything he does.
Rock On, Couponers!

And now my Karma ratio is almost as good as T4B, who has helped me
snag nearly ten free McD's meals. You're killing my arteries, T4B!
But
then, Kara Thrace has healthy stuff and I can still get those SB GC w/o
too much trouble at WM. Got one yesterday at a corral-style SC, w/
absolutely no Wally employee intervention required. And snagged another
two more yesterday w/ only the SC lackey's code required ("it looks good
to me.")
Damn, I owe GL a BIG tip!

Actually,
one of those gas cards involved a bit of a wait and I might have had
more of a problem with a larger amount. Of course, the wait was for the
lower-value card. The $50 sailed through w/o a hitch; there's no
inter-store consistency or evident reasoning behind which coupons may
have a problem. It's more dependent on whether or not you encounter one
of the few hard-asses out there and, to a lesser extent, your individual
approach.
And one of those stores was 50 miles from my home and the other was over 100.
As with most things, your success rate improves w/ repetition and more experience.
Good Luck and Try, Try Again. And go ahead and get a non-ghetto white girl, just for fun. :P

You're trying to hard ;) you must be a stress ball coming to that register... with? or without your girl? LOL
forget

profiling a cashier that would appear to not profile you

shakespear are some good low cost brands. let me know if you need

Yup, only $15 and already LOADED with about a dozen outdoor gear suppliers.
Considering buying the coupon lessons, as well. Nothing like making your own customized coupon.

naw man i for real have had a white girl that has been going with me
shes not ghetto she wears nice clothing like pink from victoria secret
and shit..
idk im done trying it sucks getting turned down EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
not like 3 or 5 try like 50 60 .. ive tried damn near every day since ive had them..
its cool tho im glad it works for u guys.. im still not giving up and i will update if i get one lol..
gunna try to get a older person to do it and see what happens
So are you done? or not giving up? your white girl wears nice clothes or pink from victoria secret?
You're trying to hard ;) you must be a stress ball coming to that register... with? or without your girl? LOL
forget
about it for a week, focus on some OC. then try again and try real hard
profiling a cashier that would appear to not profile you
Lorax,
I would be so interested to see a picture of both you and your girl..
Something tells me there is a reason you cannot achieve what so many
others can pull off time and time again... Something tells me you look
or act suspicious..
Ironically
I had a story that backs that up, I wasnt going to tell it because it
felt "too convenient" I got a buddy who is tattooed to all fuck, spent
half his life in prison. Looks and acts the part as well. I
gave him the $9 off tide coupon, the one that doesnt work wel. I did
this long ago but his lazy ass doesnt do laundry often. He went to
a walmart and the cashier started screaming at him these are
fake. I am going to take the same coupon and goto the same store
and see how I fare.
I agree with turkey, or should say turkey
agrees with me since I said this to you long ago. Look is
everything. Coupon validation is 95% your character 10% the
temperament of the cashier, bad day = bad luck and 5% the quality of the
coupon.
I will say a mix of your area and your character is the main issues at hand. Try your old white guy theory.

it is not considered agreeing when we are both right. it is called speaking the truth.
if i said the sky is blue, you wouldnt be "agreeing" with me youd be stating a fact
lorax's appearance is the reason he hasnt succeeded. fact

thats so true! these coupons have increased my personal hygiene a

heres a little mini review on my experience with the AC pack today..
I
started out in my town aiming at 1 CVS, 2 Walgreens, and 1 walmart. I
didn't get the most out of my trip because of a few things that held me
back. First, I was really trying to score a 100$ AMEX GC. My buddy is
having his birthday in a few days so I wanted to put all the party
supplied on GL's tab. I ended up only printing off both AMEX codes, a
couple gas cards, a Denny's card, and a few Red Robin cards to try to
grab. Unfortunately, I got turned down at CVS for the Denny's per their
policy (got a manager). Walgreens didnt match any of my UPC's so I was
kinda screwed on that front, as well.
I was a little down in the
dumps at this point but I was running errands anyways so it was still
just for shits and gigs anyways. I really wanted my buddys party to go
over well, so I decided to head to the next town over.
I tried my
luck at WM first for the AMEX and they turned me down after 10 minutes
of managers talking. They had to contact the store manager at one point
so I thought I might have had it. They let me down easy, apologizing at
every turn. Then, I went over to a smaller chain, meijers.
BOOM.
Struck gold, and got my gift card. Just like that, my investment was
returned to me and the booze was mine. Even got to take my girl out to
lunch with the extra cash. Tomorrow, I dedicate this party to my close
friend's birthday and to my personal hero, GoldenLotus!
Me and this AC are gonna get along very nicely.
-
well first of all u guys have no clue what i look like.. i have
recently grown my hair out and am going to try to do a little spike in
the front..
i dress fairly nice i have a collection of polo shirts and i also dont dress in super baggy clothes..
i wear clothes that fits me well.. not tight tho..
and
the girl yeah shit she looks like a college girl i guess i mean she
doesnt look like a druggy or nothing just a normal white girl.. shes
from the hood but
by the way she looks u wouldnt be able to tell..
im gunna keep trying...
i really feel like i shouldnt of bought the hardcore or the advanced.. just not working out at all..
more
stressful then anything.. then this girl keeps saying dude these dont
work and all this bullshit.. and im like BITCH there are several people
saying the use em all the time.. we just gotta get the right store..
u
dont wanna know how many fights ive gotten in over these not working or
her feeling embaressed cuz the called her out on them being fake..
FUCKKKKK

What is everyone's opinion on trying to make them look like the company printed it and sent it to you?
I
was thinking something along the lines of printing on both sides as
someone else had said, as well as putting one of these somewhere on it
http://www.novavisioninc.com/pages/prd_product_authentication_holograms.html
As well some kind of high quality-ish paper.
Just a thought.
-
If
a coupon could be made for a box of blunts, white owls preferably,
that'd be fucking great.. Niggas be taxin hard on blunts these days..
Use to be a dollar; paid like $1.80 yesterday for a single >:(
You ever try the coupon for the phillies in the oc?

It
honestly is different strokes for different folks. Some prefer
black and white on regular paper, others color on higher quality
stuff. Some even go as far as to hologram or watermark the backs
as you mentioned. It is usually best to go with whatever works for
you. I got pissed off one day, came home and made an envelope
just to get in the last word and get a visa from a very unhelpful
CSM. I got the visa, but in doing so gave up my "plausible
deny-ability", or my ability to say that I just got it off the internet
and had been defrauded as well. I should have thought more about it
before I acted, but alas I digress. I personally use different
paper for the HC as well as holo's as it makes them easier to pass of in
my area. The OC doesn't require anything but confidence and
normal paper. The AC/HC are at your discretion.
Which brings me to...
@thelorax-Is
it possible you are getting turned down because someone else in the
area was going the extra mile to watermark the backs of the AC? I
saw someone just yesterday at my local wal-mart in front of me get
turned down for a $50 best buy card at a register, while I was cruising
two $25's through our glorious self check.(I have never seen anyone else
in my area with these, *Note-if you're the person who got turned down,
you should never pick a walmart "lifer". People who have been there for
years are not good profiling targets.) When I go to a register
because the sc's are off, it's with a watermarked one. Just food for
thought.
@ ANYONE-Is it possible to make a coup for ANY GC?
I just saw ones at my grocery store for Guitar Center that got me
dreaming of a new Acoustic-electric.
@backthatassup- Blunt coupons are in the OC I believe...

What stores that have self-checkouts let you go right through with
25 dollar coupons? :o was it target? i can't find any targets with
self-checkout in my area

OK friendly announcement. When people are talking about the
hardships of some coupons they are referring to the Advanced or Hardcore
collection and not the Original Collection. The Original Collection
works great and so people never complain but say many good things.
Sometimes we HC/AC complaints, but that's why they are named that. Not
everyone will achieve success. Many of us achieve high levels of success
with high dollar HC/AC coupons while others struggle some at first.
@lorax:
how much have you used the original collection and how do you like it?
Experiencing that for a while is important to achieving success with the
higher dollar AC/HC. Hang in there bud, it comes easy to some of us,
but almost all of us get it with persistence and develop skills. I find I
am curprised when someone doesn't accept my HC/AC coupon anymore.
PL
Also
the revised GC collection is going to be larger than you are use to
seeing, but its very close to upload and release time. It will be worth
the wait and have a few unannounced surprises coming at the same time
both about the new collection and other things, some new additions to
other collections maybe, etc

I would like to reiterate what Lotus stated previously.
I
cannot stress enough how important it is to use the OC first and at
least a couple :-\ (few) times before progressing to the other
packs. They are paper GOLD and work flawlessly 99.9+% of the
time. 8) It is easy to be overwhelmed when first going
through it, but taking small steps is crucial to big success in the long
run IMO. Using the OC several times gives you the confidence to
easily pass through the HC and AC. Use a couple or a few the first
time, along with other items. This will progress to you just
making shopping trips where saving 80% is just normalcy. When life
is normal you act naturally, and passing the HC/AC collection is a
breeze; at least it has been in my case. If you read through the
forums you can find all kinds of good advice that will help you on your
way when you struggle. Be thankful for the blessings we have. I
was a couponer before I found this and I'm proud to say I no longer clip
anything that doesn't come from my printer. And I save WAAAYYYY more
money. All thanks to Lotus!!!
Get off the fence.
Get some BTC.
Get you some coupons.
Get
whatever you need and have $$$ left over for the finer things in life,
like taking the kids camping. :) (or buying other things on SR)

@GoldenLotus
i love the OC.. its great.. everything works fine that i have tried and i use it all the time for shirts and socks.. lol.
the food and drinks all work for me.. i love it..
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW COUPONS HOPEFULLY THEY WORK OUT FOR ME!!
@limitless420
yeah
i thought about that.. i really think some people ran through this town
like stink on shit.. really sucks but idk for sure i mean people say
they are fake and that they have seen those and cant take em.. maybe it
is just me.. idk man..

Just a heads up to everyone...CVS has sent out an email to stores in my demographic saying to deny any gcs.

Is there a certain size to print the coups that appear the take up

The
way I do it these days, open the file in windows picture viewer. Press
Ctrl-C. Open a blank Microsoft Word ddocument. Press Ctrl-V, Enter,
Ctrl-V, Enter, Ctrl-V. Print that page. Perfect size every time.
-

That
depends on your resolution. The common display resolution is 72 pixels
per inch, or dots per inch (dpi). Sometimes it's 96 dpi. Printing
commonly requires 300 dpi.
Many web pages have larger images that
are scaled down by the browser, you just set the image size on the web
page. Just remember though, it will still have to be downloaded in its
original state, so if it's huge, it'll take time to send.
I would
suggest pirating a copy of Photoshop, it is one of the few applications
that will let you resize by inch. GIMP may also have this feature and
is free if you're into that kind of thing.

giving people lotus....HOPE...!

does anyone have wawa gas stations in there area? I scored a
GC from them without any questions....no codes were needed from managers
and the cashier didnt even have to punch anything special in, it just
worked. I would try some wawas if you have some in your
area. I am going to try a few more as there are plenty in my
area....

OK, first time out. Nice to be part of the group! :D
This
morning , I go to WM(at my small home city) and I gather up 7 coupon
items, and a few regular priced items. I went through self
checkout, and I'm shaking a little. All the items went through
except the milk and the Jiff peanut butter - they just said something
like "expired or exceeds purchase limits" and I just kept going without
any manager lockout. The lady in the self checkout section came up
and said I forgot something, and I left a coupon on the counter...she
said, "you sure do have some good coupons!". I just said "yep" and
walked out wondering if it was sarcasm or not. Savings $26.
Today
I went to neighboring city small local chain. I went through self
checkout. Everything went through but I forgot to get 2 mountain
dews, so I just said fuck it and bought it. The lady had to help
me with a few coupons as they had to manager over ride and she just did
it like a robot....but their machine announced my coupon savings and I
seen the girl behind the counter make eye contact with the self checkout
lady and they just smirked at each other like, "yeh...we know whats
going on". Savings $38.
Then we went to a neighboring big
city WM. We went through self checkout. The dole fruit
didn't go through, "exceeds limit". My gf may not have checked the
numbers though on that one. The machines gave out more
errors in this city, constantly needing manager overrides, which one
lady did like a robot, but we went back and got another lady that was up
my ass. I don't think they knew I came back though, just she was
more up in my business. I ended up choking when she asked for my
stack of coupons to put in. I was just like, " oh, I didn't get
any of these". So I ended up straight out buying some things I
didn't want. I remember the coke coupon through up a red
flag. My gf went and got the marlboros, which she was lucky and
got a newb. My gf is wondering if she should worry they scanned
her license and probably got her drivers license number and
birthday. The huggies didn't scan through...glad I got the smaller
box. Savings $69.35
Grand total savings $133.35...but I
also got stuck paying for something that I probably wouldn't have
purchased otherwise. I think I'm pretty happy with the deal though
lol.
there is a little karma haunting us with whether or not we are on camera with our faces on a bulletin board somewhere....

its
common to be paranoid. we all have slip ups etc. dont worry
about it but dont make it a habit. the id scan was for proof of
age and not the coupon. your fine.
what coups came up expired? was it the horizon milk?

I'll
be real with you like anyone else in a PM, I've only twice in my life
used SC. I personally don't like it or care for it, and so I choose to
deal with a real life cashier. I profile my cashier, the best I can
given the open lanes. I can't give you the answers you might want at the
SC, but I can tell you that going into the normal line has way less
limits and larger success for your goal at the moment.

-
Yes, the horizon milk.
Thanks for the welcome. 8)
-
We would like to see almond milk (it's really good), chicago great steak company steaks. :)
Also
we were talking about having a little more variety in the prices of
savings...maybe a little less amount in order not to look so
suspicious. Like, with the coupons that come in threes, maybe make
the price savings different so we can pick and choose. That way,
we could use more coupons, have more savings, and look less suspicious
at the same time. IDK...just our thoughts.
-
ive told lotus about the expired horizon milk for a while now. his ass is lazy
LOTUS GET TO FUCKING WORK and FIX THAT SHIT lol
-
Ok, apparently I may have caused some confusion as my inbox is full of the same questions. So, without further ado....
1.
You do not NEED holograms or watermarks on the OC or anything else for
that matter. They all work fine without them(I can attest to
this), it's just my personal preference to use them on the Hardcore
Collection because I got turned down once for not having any
authentication on a Xbox coupon.
2. If you choose to use
holograms, DO NOT BUY THE NUMBERED ONES!!! Companies keep track of who
they sell them to, and in using them you are giving up deniability,
IMPO.
3. Cashiers and managers expect couponers to be shrewd and
penny pinching. I think this may be why the man himself(Lotus),
says he uses black and white. So regardless of whether you choose
color or b/w, they always will look legit. (unless you resize them too
small and mess up the databars.)
On a final note, I also do not
recommend printing in black and white and then putting a hologram on
it. That does not seem to me to be a very wise idea. I
highly doubt a company would send that to you in that form. Also,
share your wealth. It is easier to be marked out if you're the
only one ever coming in with coupons, IMO. I regularly give away the OC,
lottery, food cards from the HC, and $25 AC GC's to those in
need. You may feel as though you don't want to give anything away
cause you paid for it, but you'll feel way better helping someone else
who needs it. We've been blessed, pass it on!
-
Good advice, Limitless...
those are some good key points for all of us to remember when we want to up our game and try to look more official...
I really just wanted to post so I could compliment your sig..
FUCKIN AWESOME
-
I like biologicalmadman's signature! Nice job! I also loved glitch's but he has been MIA for quite sometime now. Miss him.
If
anyone wants to make me an offer on my VISa holograms, go ahead. they
are the exact same holos you find on the front and back of your card.
I'm not asking for any crazy price, but it wasn't as cheap as the
generic ones for sure... plus having me physically ship something puts
me at a risk. If no one is interested I might just list them in case
someone sees them and wants them.
Also, thank you everyone for
your patience with me lately. I have had some serious stuff that has
pushed back what I wanted and planned to do. I do have great news
though, you are about to see some great things and a level of production
that far trumps my last month. Back to prime time here soon, full
scale. Thanks for the patience everyone. I'm always pushing for new
things while improving on my current listings, but I think we are about
to see things step up to the next level soon.

There are 2 horizon coupons... One is filename Horizon. One is filename Milk.
Delete the one titled Horizon and just use the Milk one. It has no coded expiration.

I like biologicalmadman's signature! Nice job! I also loved glitch's but he has been MIA for quite sometime now. Miss him.
If
anyone wants to make me an offer on my VISa holograms, go ahead. they
are the exact same holos you find on the front and back of your card.
I'm not asking for any crazy price, but it wasn't as cheap as the
generic ones for sure... plus having me physically ship something puts
me at a risk. If no one is interested I might just list them in case
someone sees them and wants them.
Also, thank you everyone for
your patience with me lately. I have had some serious stuff that has
pushed back what I wanted and planned to do. I do have great news
though, you are about to see some great things and a level of production
that far trumps my last month. Back to prime time here soon, full
scale. Thanks for the patience everyone. I'm always pushing for new
things while improving on my current listings, but I think we are about
to see things step up to the next level soon.
I
second that limitless! Good advice my friend! Thanks Buddy...I thought
it was a nice touch...Long Live the Lotus Legends. Thanks for keeping us
in the loop and I hope that everything is all gravy now, sorry to hear
you had some hardships. We all look forward to the 'step up' as it
always turns out to be a 'staircase up'!!

the milk one has a wrong Manuf ID instead of 00xxxxx it is 07xxxxx not sure if that works still or not
-
I made the 07 one with the pic of one milk, RX made the one that
doesnt work... sorry I forgot to remove it, which zip is the bad one
in?? I'll yank it out... and wraithe... I'm a fucking G man, don't make
mistakes.
-
GL,
how bout some coupons for fishing gear? berkley, Gulp, powerbait, and
shakespear are some good low cost brands. let me know if you need
upc's :)
skrilly,
The submission lottery would be a good place to ask... UPCs will be needed though.
Yup, only $15 and already LOADED with about a dozen outdoor gear suppliers.
Considering buying the coupon lessons, as well. Nothing like making your own customized coupon.
ill check that out ;)
-
I have a bucket list of things to do before I retire from SR. One of
those things, although I would never scam anyone, is to end up on
wraithe's scammer thread. I also want to fuck his wife, but not to be
mean or spiteful or anything, I just feel like he really needs some time
to himself.
One thing is for sure, I've always respected him,
and have learned to like him too. If only you could see some of the
exchanges the two of us had when he first started on SR, if I ever had
an ego problem, he saw it happen. Now I like him because he reminds me
I'm really not as awesome as I'd like to think I am. He keeps me
balanced. This is as close to a compliment as I have, so I hope there
was something nice written in this post.

I feel like we need to hug now or some shit. I think Lotus is drunk....
-
Well yes, I'm drunk... and we should hug, it was a very sweet and
personal, public message. Ya know, despite expressing a desire to fuck
your wife, it was mostly emotional and filled with love.
EDIT:
And hey, if you are into that, then it was all love and we should
definitely hug it out. Just keep me off your scammer thread. As long as
you keep me off your list, you are stuck with me, while I'm stuck with
my list of things to do.
-
Damn this is getting gay
-
bought the lotto listing......so do i have to wait till the pot is full to get the coups?
Damn this is getting gay
hah
-
Sorry for getting gay with wraithe. I would easily fuck just about
anyone I gave less a fuck about than wraithe as long as she had a nice
ass... so it didn't seem completely gay to me at the time. Respecting
someone, while disrespecting them in a friendly context, that's not gay,
letting a dude suck your dick, well that's gay.
-
letting a dude suck your dick, well that's gay.
I dunno dude... is that really gay? Or is that just what we are programmed to believe. I will let you decide. Magic.

as long as you dont make eye contact and your balls dont touch, its not gay ;) a mouth is a mouth!
Sent
ya a lil tip GL. Just want to say thank you so much for your support
and dedication to this movement. speedy delivery of magic coupons that
save me $400-$500 a month. too bad i cant get the AC to work in my area
or it would be triple that! not worried about it, compared to the money i
saved that $50 is nothing.
cant WAIT to go fishing with all this new gear!! make a coupon for a fishin boat now ;0)
-
the milk one has a wrong Manuf ID instead of 00xxxxx it is 07xxxxx not sure if that works still or not
The
milk filename works just fine. maybe those first two 0's don't matter
too much? Not sure, but I use it all the time and it works no issues..
even at the hard ass walmarts.
-

I dunno dude... is that really gay? Or is that just what we are programmed to believe. I will let you decide. Magic.
I
suddenly just took your message and replaced the word "gay" with just
about anything I could think of, and it blew my fucking mind... MIND
BLOWN. I have no idea what to think anymore about so many things, but
yeah a sexual act with someone of the same sex is gay. Nothing wrong
with that. I wasn't being homophobic, I was just defending myself for
not being gay.... at least so far.
-
Ok so let's talk about coupons again, the new set is now completed
as far as finished coupons. Just needs to be organized and uploaded,
listing created, etc (This will take my entire Sunday to finish, but
I'll also be doing maintence on the other collections which has been
overdue, like pulling that old milk coupon... hahaha expired milk) ...
unfortunately I'm out of State today, but god dammit I hope tomorrow we
can get it live.
-
GET IT LIVE NINJA!!!!!
Good to hear you liked those
emails.....plenty more to come,pun intended.(wonder how many will
continue the "gay assumptions" with that comment,LOL!
Hey all you
gotta be easy on PL he has been busy as hell lately and dealing with
family stuff,In the scope of things A few coupons with expired dates is
PALE in comparison to the things this man has been dealing with,I know
he will be on top of it and the people who contacted me TRUST ME,this is
THE BEST purchase you can make on SR,I bought the coupon making lessons
even though I have no time for them,Just so I could one day run game
like he does on the ability to create financial freedom for myself and
family.....I for one am glad that the new shit dropped and CAN'T WAIT to
freaking see it,WHOOOOO!
Hey PL are you running a specific schedule
on which collections get their updates first? The ones I made with the
coupon gen. already expired but you've been so busy I was just going to
wait patiently,If I knew my way around photoshop or the programs like it
I would do them myself and help contribute.
Maybe there will be an
opening one day for an ogre on your staff(also not gay) :) and I
will actually have time to do something other then the grind I am stuck
in.
Peace bro and I'm glad things are looking up for you
SHIT'S about to get REAL people!!!!!

So I had to go on a work trip a few days ago, was only given 24 hrs
notice so I packed in a hurry. After I got to my destination I
realized I had an envelope of coupons in my carry on from my last
shopping trip. Lo and behold my third day there are meetings were
cancelled and I had a whole day to myself. I decided to use that
time to try my hand at the HC collection again. Took my sweet
sweet rental car (Malibu...oh yeah) to the closest shopping center and
chose Best Buy as my first mark. Quickly found a pair of Beat's
and walked up to the check out, unfortunately when my turn came up it
was the middle aged lifer that was beckoning me over...I decided to play
the kindness card and let the lady behind me go to him. Instead I
got a cute blonde that couldn't have been more than seventeen (and her
IQ couldn't have been much higher). She took one look at the
coupon and started going off about how sick of a deal this was.
When she scanned the coupon some message popped up but before I could
even say anything she keyed in a code and asked me for the price
difference. Walked out of the store with a pair of over priced
headphones feeling pretty good about myself.
My next stop was a
local super market chain. Managed to get a $25 gift card at the
self checkout without any sort of assistance. I was 2 for 2 in a
small town, I should have been happy with my haul but I wasn't done, not
by a long shot. I hit up a few more stores, Walmart, Toys R Us,
etc. When all was said and done I had a couple pairs of
headphones, some gift cards, a new kindle fire and three packs of cheap
cigarettes. Content with my luck I headed back to the hotel to
smoke my ill gotten cigarettes. As I was chain smoking on my
balcony it dawned on me, it was barely even noon. The shift's at
the stores would be changing soon in a town I'd never see again...
I
had to fly back home on Friday, thanks to all the extra crap I got I
had to pay the overweight luggage fee....still totally worth it.
-
I'm making this dude an overweight luggage coupon next. 8)
-
somebody make a Shakespeare coupon for fishing rods in the next
lotto plz :) a $15 off and a $30 would be nice. no exp. too,or if
someone could just custom make it for me, name the price or refer me to a
listing for cuztom coups. :) ill get you upc's
I will be looking into buying the lessons GL probly next month.
-
The lessons are way worth it.
-
I got the lessons for the things that weren't in other packs, and then they came out in other packs. 8)
Jesting
aside, they have to be the single most important purchase I ever made,
if for nothing more than knowing how the whole system works.(and getting
a TV)
I'm getting ready for my cross country move, planning on
AC'ing the hell out of it all the way. I have been fortunate to
live in an area where no one else was doing this, I only ran into
problems going into bigger towns(100,000+). I am wondering what
everyone else's thoughts and experiences on the subject are. Do
you prefer smaller or bigger cities/towns for HC/AC? Seems to me
that smaller chains and stores would be less likely to turn them down,
whereas some of the bigger chains in cities have 'seen it all".
I'm moving to an urban area adjacent to several larger cities. Any and
all comments are welcome, provided they pertain to the subject matter.
Gratzie!
-
I'm just now discovering how easy the Max and the metal paper
fasteners office supply stores can be. The cashiers are dubious and
always call for a manager, but the coupons scan w/o any intervention, or
at least did at the three locations I hit recently. All glossy stock,
but w/ nothing on the back, boom, boom, boom - $100 worth of clothing
gift cards now mine!
That was in one state. A couple of states
over, the Max was staffed by Nazis at the couple of locations I checked.
Or maybe I just needed to try another location there and I would have
found another success.
Now to print more coupons and get more btc loaded for the next set, and the GL tip which is long overdue!
-
Well had a really good Saturday. Got 5 X Amazon $50, 2 X Shell $50, 1
$50 Toys R us, 1 WOW card, and 1 AT&T Prepaid Card.
Bunch of
stuff with the OC collection as well. Made some of my own coupons and
they worked great. Will be sending them to the lottery soon.
-
OK, as a newb, I'm wondering what sort of precautions you take in
order not to get caught. Going forward, I also wonder how likely
it would be that these stores get detectives in to gather evidence?
From
my paranoia, I've done some research on the subject and here are some
of the things I've came up with to minimize any evidence against you.
1.
I don't keep the coupons laying around the house or in the car or in my
wallet/purse. I've stashed them in one hidden location.
2.
I've taken my tor links, put them in an email, and mailed them to
myself in my tormail. That way there is no direct bookmarks
related to coupons.
3. I don't keep any files around and I use fileshredder to delete them after use.
4. I shed the receipts.
5. limit runs to twice a month as advised by gl, start off slowly. Gain knowledge of the process.
6. I use ccleaner to clean up my computer's activities, with a check mark on all the default plus wipe free space.
7. I've encrypted everything that I leave on my computer with AxCrypt (free software).
8. Limit friend's knowledge, don't brag, don't share. Do everything you can to maintain plausible deniability.
______________________________________________
Now other than that, is it better to go to more than one place or to stick to the places you know?
I
wish there was a sticky for this sort of stuff. I guess there is
an inherent risk, but I don't like knowing how risky. I hope I'm
not being too much of a newb with this stuff.
-
OK,
as a newb, I'm wondering what sort of precautions you take in order not
to get caught. Going forward, I also wonder how likely it would
be that these stores get detectives in to gather evidence?
Some
major retailers (such as Target) have fully certified complete forensic
laboratories that sometimes help state/federal law enforcement when the
state labs are backed up. Fully expect these coupons to end up there,
especially the AC/HC ones.
What happens from there who knows. The OC coupons most likely will be ignored.
All speculation but always be safe especially with AC/HC.

How
often do they come after people? Do some people go into full

Here is a quote from the CIC: http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/CashiersCorner-PT2.php?st=c318c
Here are a few tips to help you fight counterfeit coupons:
1. Pay special attention to "Free Product" or high value ($5.00 and up) coupons:
- Many Free and High Value Coupons have the
CIC Security Device (similar to a hologram) over the expiration date.
See a demonstration here.
- There are few, if any, legitimate free product coupons that can be printed on home equipment.
- Monitor the self-scans closely.
2. Questions to consider:
- Is this person buying an unusually large amount of the same product with “Free” Coupons?
- Is it reasonable that even a very, very large family could use all of this product?
- Is this person one of your regular customers?
- Is this person attempting to distract you?
- Is the person overly defensive when you ask where he/she got the coupons?
- Does this person appear unusually nervous?
3. Think you have a counterfeit coupon?
A. What if you’re NOT 100% sure it’s a counterfeit
- Give the consumer the benefit of the doubt and accept the coupon.
- Contact your manager or loss
prevention/security department and review the situation.
- Please report new counterfeits to
the Coupon Information Corporation at (their phone number)
B. What if you are 100% sure it is a counterfeit.
- Follow the procedure established by your store.
- If you store does not have an
established procedure, this may be a good time to meet with your
managers and ask them to create a procedure. They may wish to consider
the following options:
- Contact your manager or loss
prevention/security department.
- Do not confront the individual! Your
safety is more important.
- If possible (and safe), get a copy of the
person’s identification. Note that counterfeiters have been known to use
store discount cards with false or stolen information.
- If possible,
have a security guard note the person’s license plate.
- After the
transaction, take a break and write down the date and the exact time of
the transaction. Include a physical description of the individual(s) and
be sure to save the suspected counterfeits. Do your best to handle the
“coupons” on the edges to preserve the suspect’s fingerprints. Be sure
to alert the person monitoring your security cameras to save the
appropriate footage.
- Never accuse anyone of anything! It could be
embarrassing (and expensive) if you make a mistake. Instead, have your
loss prevention/security department or local law enforcement agency
handle it.
- Contact the Coupon Information Corporation at xxx-xxx-xxxx if
you have questions or need additional information.
4. Potential Penalties
- Counterfeit Coupons—penalties
range from misdemeanors to felonies. The charges vary by the situation.
______________________________________
Countermeasures (lowering risk):
1. Pay special attention to "Free Product" or high value ($5.00 and up) coupons:
- Many Free and High Value Coupons have the
CIC Security Device (similar to a hologram) over the expiration date.
See a demonstration here.
- There are few, if any, legitimate free product coupons that can be printed on home equipment.
- Monitor the self-scans closely.
countermeasure:
A. "tiered" coupons, ranging from high discount to
low discount in order. This way we have the ability to assume the
amount of risk.
2. Questions to consider:
- Is this person buying an unusually large amount of the same product with “Free” Coupons?
- Is it reasonable that even a very, very large family could use all of this product?
- Is this person one of your regular customers?
- Is this person attempting to distract you?
- Is the person overly defensive when you ask where he/she got the coupons?
- Does this person appear unusually nervous?
countermeasure:
A. It is advised not to buy a load of the same product at one time.
B. Be casual, know where you got the coupons, and don't appear nervous (ex.: Learn, Practice, Teach)
3. What if you are 100% sure it is a counterfeit.
- Follow the procedure established by your store.
- If you store does not have an
established procedure, this may be a good time to meet with your
managers and ask them to create a procedure. They may wish to consider
the following options:
- Contact your manager or loss
prevention/security department.
- Do not confront the individual! Your

“coupons” on the edges to preserve the suspect’s fingerprints. Be sure
to alert the person monitoring your security cameras to save the

- Never accuse anyone of anything! It could be
embarrassing (and expensive) if you make a mistake. Instead, have your
loss prevention/security department or local law enforcement agency
handle it.
- Contact the Coupon Information Corporation at xxx-xxx-xxxx if
you have questions or need additional information.
countermeasure:
A. It's good to know this information being instructed by the CIC.
B. Never carry your driver's license with you when
doing a run, know your alias and your alias address.
C. Case, and park your car where there are no security
cameras and ensure that you are not being followed out to
your car
D. Disguise? Depending on the ability to be a casual disguise, and not a red flag disguise.

I'd like your input on this because I'm just a learning newb, thanks.

@bitbets
1)Dude, calm down.
The watchdog group
you mentioned has a website yes, but they are a private
corporation. Most of the material you see on there is stuff from
the clearnet and 4chan.(blasphemy!)
Have you ever worked
retail? I've never heard of any store telling their employees to
go online and study a website. Hell man, most of them don't even
care. It's understandable to be a little cautious and paranoid,
it's actually normal. I feel they key point here when talking
about the HC/AC is to not overly abuse it at the same place, or even the
same chain. What I mean by that is don't go to every best buy in
[your state here] getting headphones. (wish there was a facepalm
smiley) LP is generally reigonal, which is why when a couple of
the same places get hit, they send out the dreaded "e-mail"
mwahahahahahaha. Isolated occurrences once every so often
generally go unnoticed, and in bigger areas it seems more people use
them so its harder to isolate the source.
As far as
forensics, I took a coupon to the store and watched it get passed around
by three employees, and I know one of them is on supervision, by the
ankle bracelet he was wearing. In that situation, I think he
should be more worried than me. I have to be honest, I was an
extreme couponer before I entered the world of the lotus, and I shared
many of your concerns and doubts. All I received were assurances
and logical explanations, and I've been rocking it ever since. Frankly, I
think you'd be more likely to be singled out if a cashiers suspicion
led from them looking at a coupon to your disguise. The key is
confidence and acting natural. By playing dress up, you aren't
yourself, you're "acting" like someone else. At the end of the
day, it's all about plausible deniability. "I did a survey online, so I
also got defrauded, therefore I'm a victim of a crime, not a
criminal." Also, driving without a license doesn't seem very smart
if you're actually this nervous about it. You can keep coupons in
your glove box locked up as long as you don't print them on marijuana
leaves. ;D
@Flwrchlds- Exactly where between the store and
the processing center down south would a coupon be pulled? Can you
cite a source?
-
im one of the more paranoid guys Ive met. I dont even have a
facebook in my real name. Most of my business competitors know me
by an alias(surprisingly legal, found out when that alias was
subpoenaed)
the things bitbets mentioned are things to be
safer. but we are talking putting 3 condoms on safer. If a
dude bought a shit ton of groceries and walked a half mile with
the shopping cart id be like wtf?
as far as forensics, its expensive labs are backlogged and theyre coupons. not mention how many hands theyve passed
your
effort and time and research is greatly appreciated. Id only
advise these things if your doing a LOT of giftcards. I mean I was
doing a shit ton a day and didnt go thru all of this.
The only thing I did was paid cash.
-
Between Wraithe and I we are speaking with about as much experience
as you are going to find on this forum. You are definitely unnecessarily
and overly concerned. It is good to be cautious, but you are over
blowing the severity of what we do to begin with. The CIC makes itself
out to be far more credible than it actually is. Most stores have a few
pages of printouts and some samples of counterfeits from the CIC site.
Most cashiers and even most CSMs have a vague knowledge of there even
being a site for these things, if any knowledge at all...
LimitlessHorizon
makes an interesting point with the plausible deniability concept.
Although if it ever came to prosecution, that would not be an advisable
defense. It could very well get you out of a situation with a LP person
if it ever came up. You are best to just stop talking early if that
doesn't satisfy them.
All this is pretty irrelevant though. Take
it from me. Take it from Wraithe. Take it from the others who have been
knocking this game dead for over a year. You have little to worry
about. Be smart.
Regards,
T4B
-
yes lets redirect all that research initiative and find me a resort
where your surrounded by sexy midgets. like a club med but with
midgets. this is what i want to see. then i want to see a
coupon for 3 free nights
prosecution would be difficult unless u hit the same store for thousands in a short period of time.
neat little factoid on how fucked up our legal system is
(this is 100% factual)
I
know a business owner, he owns a gas station. A man comes
in on a regular basis walks inside the store pays for $70 worth of fuel
and some snacks. fills up. Calls the charge in fraudulent on
his business card. He does this multiple times. I saw about
$1100 in receipts. all similar MO same signature style etc.
Owner called the police. Owner has written down license # as well
as plate number and photos.
Police do nothing, Business owner is out $1100.
The facts are laid out for the police. You think they would do something. NOTHING AT ALL.
he did everything bitbets said not to do and this is credit card fraud which should be slightly more severe than fake coupons.
btw anyone able to run a license plate or license # for me. It will be greatly appreciated lol
-
Thanks. I guess I am overly cautious. My disguise isn't
going no further than a hat. I was doing alot of investigating and
learning and thought I would share what I learned. I am glad to
get some reassurances.
-
I did the same thing you did. Thats a good thing since i
fucking rock and we could always use another clone of me. After a
while I realized I was going thru too much trouble to the point it was
suspicious or just a waste of time. Majority of these companies
have loss/shrink rolled into the price you pay so they dont have to
pursue cases like this. They arent going to pay a guy 70k/year to
track down the guy who stole 500 in gift cards over 3 months.
theyre built to adsorb that kind of loss

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to SR. Haven't bought a single thing. I
found it looking for a fake ID and I found these awesome coupons.
Reading your stories has really interested me. I don't have all the
money in the world so rather then get a fake I decided to try these
coupons as my first purchase. I'll hopefully be buying them soon. I have
to get bitcoins first. I hope everyone luck with their coupons. Again
hello everyone I look forward to getting to know you all.

Thank
you Wraithe I loved reading your story about your co-worker in need. It
really made me realize I can get these and not only help myself but
also help others. I am very excited.

I sincerely hope that no one wastes any more time on InfiniteSource. ::)
A
lot of couponers are waiting w/ full bitcoin wallets, salivating in
anticipation of the new GL coupon pack release. :) Having someone
talk shit about you can be infuriating, but InfiniteSource is a
pointless distraction and is best ignored.
I'm sure it's no coincidence this troll is posting while GL is dealing w/ a family illness and a new collection release.
Keep up the great work, GL, and stay focused on your customers, as you always do.
-
And I can't say it often enough, THANK YOU Golden Lotus for the coupons and the superior customer service! 8)

scanned the coupon some message popped up but before I could even say
anything she keyed in a code and asked me for the price
difference. Walked out of the store with a pair of over priced
headphones feeling pretty good about myself.
My next stop was a
local super market chain. Managed to get a $25 gift card at the
self checkout without any sort of assistance. I was 2 for 2 in a
small town, I should have been happy with my haul but I wasn't done, not
by a long shot. I hit up a few more stores, Walmart, Toys R Us,
etc. When all was said and done I had a couple pairs of
headphones, some gift cards, a new kindle fire and three packs of cheap
cigarettes. Content with my luck I headed back to the hotel to
smoke my ill gotten cigarettes. As I was chain smoking on my
balcony it dawned on me, it was barely even noon. The shift's at
the stores would be changing soon in a town I'd never see again...
I
had to fly back home on Friday, thanks to all the extra crap I got I
had to pay the overweight luggage fee....still totally worth it.
Nice where did you get off the Kindle Fire coupon.

Everyone needs to save the drama cuz this ain't no theatrical.
Infinite...I'm not going to attack you but for the sake of others on
these forums who do not need to be drawn into your quarrel with pl or
gl, whoever, that you please talk it out with lotus privately? This
forum is for everyone to help each other out and if there is an issue
send him a message man. Can anyone back me on this one?

If you have an issue, take it up with the man himself and leave the laundry in the washer where it belongs.
In other news...
I
just so happened to find myself in line behind the people working at
the humane society this morning that I gave the coupons to.(anon of
course) I couldn't help but smile as I watched them walk out with 4
carts full of much needed supplies for the animals. I feel a
strange sense of satisfaction knowing that I was able to do some good
with the OC and lottery. Thanks for everything Lotus, and thanks
to everyone else in this forum for making this the best community on SR,
PERIOD

EDIT:removal for the sake of the thread
I just got back from
my second run with the AC pack, and as far as whole runs go, I'm 2/2! I
got an amazon gift card from a place in town and now I think I'll buy
myself a mg scale with it. Anyone have any reservations about ordering
amazon packages to your house with a GC you got from a coupon? it would
take a lot of tracing back but it seems the dots would be there to
connect. Just a thought, I 'd love to hear your guy's opinions.
+1 to all you wonderful motherfuckers in our coupon community.

Is this drama something to be concerned with? I'm nervous about
purchasing the OC now. I don't want to buy it and then something happen
to GL or to anyone else who uses this service.

No
worries blingblingRing. From time to time the competitors come to this
forum and try to make trouble. If they would spend that time taking care
of their customers the way Golden does rather than trolling our forum
they might do better in life. Everything is fine and this is still the
single best listing you can purchase on SR. Live like a king on the
budget of a peasant..

Here is the HUGE hole in your fake attacks. If people didn't have
the right personal information (Which I had nothing to do with, 100%
nothing, no knowledge) then exactly how were you able to check emails
from the person you are accused of being? How come only part of those
"emails are being posted? And who gives a fuck... prove to me those were
sent to you at ALL, are you that good at photoshop? Wheres the return
address? ETC? You could put anything you want, but just go away and
fight your fights elsewhere, I'm not involved,
Those are
rhetorical questions... we have no reason to speak. This WILL not go on
here on my thread anymore. You continue to cause drama and threaten me.
Maybe Mods will fix that, it's been going on way too long now, but no
more... find someone else to beef with. I have much larger things to do
besides track you down and threaten you. Your story doesn't match up on
so many levels, so who cares what you write about me or claim I said to
you. I didn't even know you still existed anymore. Go back to reddit.
To everyone else, let it go on this thread, give him no reason to waste our time and cloud up the reason we all use this thread.

Any information posted publicly that will endanger ANYONE'S
anonymity will be removed. That goes for all of you who may be
considering posting information that you think you have on GoldenLotus,
InfiniteSource, or anyone else. Whether the person is really them or
they're using somebody else's info, that is not acceptable in this
community. If either of them use information of other people then an
innocent person will get caught up in all of this - stop and think what
you would be doing before considering doing it.

I'm
asking that this please stops on my thread. I have nothing to do with
it, and although some people who are community members here have
attracted this dude back to my thread, it needs to stop. I want nothing
to do with arguing or games or any of this shit.
To the Mod,
please respect my wishes as well. I didn't post or even pass along
anyone's personal info. Certainly never would threaten to do so on SR
either. I'm being attacked here, so please keep my name out of this,
please don't associate me with someone who is "considering" posting
personal information on my own review thread! I know you don't see it
for what it really is, and what has happened in the past, but I'm here
only to provide quality service and avoid drama both on and off my
thread.
No more discussion, let's drop it, let it go... it will
pickup somewhere else where we won't have to read it and I damn sure
won't be there.

PL was banned before coachella... so who cares what was said back
then, I paid the price for any crime I was thought to be guilty of. Just
stop and go away. GoldenLotus never sent a cross message in his life,
so if you want to bring up old issues (which I paid a cost for, even
though it was as one sided as it could get, I'm over it, I'm over you.)
No one is having to wait on coupons because I am busy emailing you or whatever...
Anyone
who is associated with me, then realize this dude isn't worth any of
our time to fuck with, even if you are one of the unfortunates he
scammed. It's a shame the dispute ended up back on my thread, but please
those of you with issues with this dude, respond to him somewhere else.
I know this same debate is on like 20 threads because someone told me,
but I damn sure didn't go read them, just heard he was a scammer who got
caught and blah blah blah, but I don't care enough to follow the drama
and damn sure don't want it on here.
How I really feel: Not one
of us should care about this drama at all. I know I certainly don't,
have stayed out of it, and don't want to be included. I'm asking that
everyone knocks it off, even off this thread, even off SR. Don't show
him attention, he goes away, problem solved.
It won't happen
here, but we would all do best if it didn't happen at all anywhere. I'm
tired of hearing about it, and I know even more of my customers are.
Let's just keep the great thing we have and focus on it.
I never
messaged you as GoldenLotus, or sent you any email. I don't know your
e-mail and had no clue what new account was yours. All serious. I can
spoof emails all day long, but I have no enemies or reason waste my
time. Just go dude, you aren't going to drag me into your battle,
because I don't fight, and no one else will post drama on here either...
so go find a new spot.
-
What in the proper fuck is going on here?
Is infinite source
that dickhole scammer coachella? So you're admitting you were a scammer
and someone with purplelotus's email tried to blackmail some people, and
you know this because he tried to scam your scammer account?
Shit... this is... retarded.
Lol.

i wanna know too but lotus said he wants us to not fuck up his
thread so i deleted all my post about it.. guess ill go get my daily
drama from daytime tv.. lol

Back to coupons. I was wondering what you guys mean by hard code
expiration dates? Do the coupons expire? Will it be possible for me to
change the like 2012 to 2013? Is that what you guys do?

i say just drop the next pack lotus! lets keep this thing going forward, leave all the bs in the dust!
im sure im not the only one patiently waiting, hope there is a new weber Q in this next pack...daddy needs a new BBQ!

So....
Anyways, I just went to walmart for some
groceries. Nothing crazy;energy drinks, mtn dew, lunch meat, pizza
rolls, etc. Pretty much stuff to heat up/make at work.
Since I wasn't doing any big ticket items I went through the express
check out where your cashier is the first available. I got stuck
with a middle aged hispanic woman who had a poor grasp of English.
She wouldn't scan 4 of the coupons. Not because she
thought they were fake but because the picture on the coupon was
different than the product I bought. My bag of sweet chili
Dorito's, Diet Mtn Dew and Sarah Lee bread were the ones I remember she
wouldn't do. It's funny, because at this point I was so insulted
by her stupidity that I forgot I was using fake coupons. You would
have thought I had a right to be indignant. It eventually came to
the point where I argued that none of the coupon's pictures match the
products because the coupons are in black and white and all of the items
are distinctly colored. Unfortunately logic failed to sway her
and I ended up paying full price for the four items, it felt like I was
kicked in the stomach. I spent 30 seconds cutting out coupons for
nothing, NOTHING! It was the low point of my day, after the
coupons she would scan went through I saved about $18 but it would have
been closer to $30.
God I'm greedy.

You
should not have given in. You should have demanded a CSM. Some might
advocate not to make a fuss and keep a low profile, but with what you
had a CSM would have pushed them through, reprimanded the cashier, and
forgotten about all of it within moments of the interaction. Just my
thoughts on it. That's what I would have done.
-
All coupons are 100% finished and the pack is ready to go live after
being organized and uploaded. Guarantee for tomorrow! I would if I
could tonight, but I'm not at the right spot, but it's all good and done
and ready to rock and roll tomorrow!

Never let that happen again. Seriously, you didn't act like they were real even though you forgot they were fake...
Think
of these as actual money. Money you worked for. Money you need to feed
your family. What if the cashier would have not accepted a 20 dollar
bill because it was a few years old and not the exact design of the new
ones. You would have laughed in her face and demanded a CSM. You would
have been very polite and proffessional but absolutely demaned the
situation be made right AND that it wouldn't happen again.
I've
said it a billion times on this thread already... Your mentality at the
register must always be "these are not fake coupons, these are your real
money"!

I
thought about it, but I saw the CSM walking around and she was a
"lifer". The frown lines on her face were so deep I doubt she'd
smiled since Carter was president. It was just a poor combination
of events that could have been avoided if I hadn't gone through the
express line. Live and learn.
I also have a couple questions that I don't think have been asked/answered in this thread.
1)
Is there a law against coupons for beer/wine? I've never seen any
real coupons so I assume there's something in effect preventing that,
if not...well...
2) When dealing with electronics, can they trace
an item that was picked up with coupons? I already own a Kindle
Fire so I'd like to give the new ones away as gifts, but don't want the
police knocking on my 13 year old nephew's door. I've heard
stories of stolen xbox's or ps3's being tracked down, so I'd assume if
they wanted to they could do the same with a coupon purchase. Or
am I being paranoid?

It
wasn't my mentality, it was the fact that the lady didn't comprehend

beer and wine coupons are stupid and dangerous
when was the last time u saw one? u dont
beer
and liquor is regulated by the government so by using a coupon your
forcing the store to break a serious law and risk them losing their
license by selling liquor under the state min. do i give a fuck no
lol but they will and out of spite come looking for ya since now their
wives cant eat bon-bons all day long watching i love lucy
speaking of that WTF HAPPENED to BONBONS??

1.
There is a vendor on SR already selling a coupon pack exclusively for
beer and wine....but don't do it. lol. Good way to get really
scrutinized. Go get a free Visa then use that to buy alcohol.
2.
Don't worry about it. The UPC is the only thing the cashier scanned and
those are universal. If however they "activated" the product and scanned
a unique identifier such as a cell phones ESN or IMEI then I would be
doubly paranoid.... Either that or they had to "register" it for
insurance or warranty or rebate purposes. Is it probable they come
after you? No....is it possible?...Yes.
3. Didn't mean to sound harsh earlier. Just trying to help. PM me for a free cookie.
-
Yeah like I said I assumed there was a reason I'd never seen coupons
for beer/wine before. I was more curious as to the reason, there
are legitimate coupons for cigarettes and they're also regulated by the
government. I don't understand any of the cig/alcohol laws.
Breweries can't directly sell their product to the public (unless they
have a bar, and then you're limited to taking home growlers).
Cigarette's can't advertise on TV but alcohol can. More of a
question as to why not than is it possible, plus a little bit of wishful
thinking.

Go ahead and buy the OC. What are you waiting for?

cigarettes arent regulated they are taxed. a store can sell
for whatever amount as long as the govt gets their tax. liquor
CANNOT be sold for under an amount. a store goes out of business
and has liquor they CANNOT clearance it out
it has to be sold for state min.
cigarettes can be.

this
is true, a lot of places won't accept coupons for "free" items. CVS
doesn't take ANY coupons for gift cards at all according to their
policy. BUT, you'll notice plenty of people have luck using GC coupons
at cvs's all the time. This game is all about the hunter/prey aspect of
choosing a good cashier. Some know the history and entire policy of the
store they work at, some just wanna go the fuck home.
I've had luck with GC's at Walmart, Meijer, and Walgreens.
-
I just wanted add something about alcohol and liquor coupons. A
person I know is a high manager at a Meijer in a big city. So one day I
had asked him about fake coupons and the first thing he replied was
about the alcohol and how they train/tell the employees to never take
any no matter what. He said it was a federal crime and not only can they
get in trouble they could get fined and lose the license for selling.
So if by chance someone does except a coupon for one they will be put on
probation and if it is happening a lot they will turn over the tape and
coupon to the officials for them to investigate. He did say though it
has to be for extreme amounts being pushed though because like I said
they can get into trouble for a employee taking them. Your guess is as
good as mine on how many is extreme maybe 5 or 100, But all I know is I
wouldnt use them.
As far as the regular coupons go he said good ones
can take up to a couple months to be found out due to them collecting a
bunch of coupons real and fake to send out to a company that handles
them. So when a fake is discovered the company that is handling them
reports them then they return them to the store or copies for the
managers to train workers for what not to take. Whether original fakes
they get sent to police he did not know but he did say this process of
finding out that the had taken fake ones can take up to 6 months.
So
long story short I personally would never use the coupons for alcohol
because those will be found out that night or time when a register is
closed out. But to each his own.

I
am doing my research for this endeavor. I know I haven't bought the OC
so I shouldn't be thinking about the HC or the AC but I was wondering
where you go to get the Gift Cards? I see that some places do not accept
things that say Free. Where do you guys get them?
Go ahead and buy the OC. What are you waiting for?
Waiting to get paid. And then I will pay my bills and then I will buy coupons. :]
-
Waiting to get paid. And then I will pay my bills and then I will buy coupons. :]
Buying coupons will make you better able to pay your bills from now on...
-
damn it! I'm on the edge of my seat over here waiting on these coupons to drop!
I wish today wasn't my day off so I wasnt wasting away at my keyboard mashing F5.

Damnit...another pack? I still haven't bought the AC and still
haven't tested out the Lotto pack yet. Tis a rough life.
-
Hello everyone. Just dropping in to say hello. I tried to use my
tiny copons at walmart and they wouldnt scan at all.lol I must have
printed them to small or something? Any clues? I use to print them
bigger and now I am trying to be cheap and they wont scan but I can read
them. Anyway just trying to get some input.I still think I may have
printed them a bit too small. I will go back with some larger ones.
Are
the new OC coming out tomorrow already? That will be nice to get some
fresh ones. Ran out of food and need to stock up a lot of stuff.
-
No we want coupons from the VERY BEST COUPON MAKER IN THE WORLD!! I
would have starved without PL AND GL last year and this Winter. My
family loves you GL! Thanks for all you done!! Will they be on the same
link?

I forgot to mention that all the Gift Cards come with alternate UPCs just like the AC.

so can someone tell me the SIZE you are setting them on WORD
like the high and all that?
i printed some off before and they wouldnt scan..
thanks

After
copying them from Windows Photo Viewer and pasting them into word I do
not resize them.. I get three to a page, just barely can't fit 4 to a
page. Never have any trouble scanning them..
-
I use 4 x 6 (2) in Windows Default Picturer Viewer, uncheck fit
picture to frame, and set copies to 2. Hopefully you got a free app that
scans UPCs to tell you if it scans, print any size you want, as long as
it scans. My choice leaves 2 per page, which is usually all I need.
-
i use word..
i feel like they are really big..
figured someone else had another method..
my height is at 2.73"
and my width is 6.32"
-
the most popular coupon size is 2.5"x6" the size of a dollar bill,
when i use word i just adjust coupon height to 2.5" and for width it
will automatically adjusted.

Somehow a huge mess was created and I'm now cleaning it up. The good
news is GoldenLotus has agreed to stay in business and continue his
work on SR. He has future plans that he isn't done with on here as a
vendor and wants to keep things rolling. I'm sorry for any drama
recently, it is now over and will be handled and corrected. It never had
any place on this thread, so now it's gone.
That's the end of it. No comments needed.

For those who missed the announcement, the multiple requests for a
Gift Card pack that was not "FREE" but was for just larger discounts has
been completed and listed:
It's named "The Not Free Collection!"

Hey PL!
Any chance on keeping all the GC or very high value
coupons in their own pack? Some have no need or desire to mess with GC's
and only want grocery and regular item coupons. We see Breyer's ice
cream for example in the 'not free pack' if we read that correct?
Are there additions to the OC coming? What happened to those soda stream coupons, never updated? TP?
Fuck the drama, do your great work!
-
Anyone ever try the GC coups at Target? Only tried once, they
just had $25 gift cards to most of the ones I had--tried to use a free
$20 Dominos coup on a $25 gift card, told the cashier I'd pay the
difference.
Was going fine, but she scanned the coupon and
it said "select free item" instead of knocking $20 off...she
highlighted the gift card, hit enter, and it validated it, printed a
receipt, and I was almost good to go BUT she knew it was wrong since I
hadn't ended up paying anything, got a manager, and he made up some
story about the computer not accepting it cuz they were different
amounts. I already had the receipt which said that the card was
activated, so he was full of shit--but he typed in transaction # in the
register and voided the whole thing, then he snatched the card back and I
grabbed my coupon from him.
So main question is whether
the 20 off 25 coups have been tested at a Target by anyone, would be
awesome if they worked there since I've burned the Walmarts in my area
(was well worth it!) and haven't had great luck w/my Walgreens
-

Wouldn't you like to know.. 8)
that coupon works no csm needed. as long as the numbers match.
Pretty sure its been said a ways back walmart, dont go over $50 or youll need a csm.
target, not sure.
And ive used 1 coupon for $30 at walmart and didnt need a csm so there ya go ;)
-
I think that the max single coupon amount you are able to use at
target is 50.00.....but back around christmas time,I got 3 roku's from
there and that coupon was 60.00(needed manager approval but all was
well.
Can't wait to see the new pack bro......on a side note,Are you
going to update the expiration dates on the submission/lottery coupons
anytime in the near future?
Picked up 2 GC's today at w.m so thanks again!!!!!!
Peace guys!
-
Are you going to update the expiration dates on the submission/lottery coupons anytime in the near future?
Originally
the plan was to have the original creators update their own expirations
or lose their entries. Then allow others to update them at a rate of 3
updates for 1 entry. Shrek if there is anything specific you want fixed
send me a PM and I will fix it for you quick.

T4B

THANKS TFB!!!
sending a PM your way...

Been a while, see I missed some drama. Is that somehow related to 404? or is the server down?

Looks like GL is updating the HC and OC collection! and thats why we are receiving 404..

Are the coupon dates coded into the barcode? I'm sure the
question is answered in the coupon making guide but I haven't shelled
out the money yet. It got me thinking this morning when I
logged in and saw some drama.

JCVD,
to answer your question, yes and no. Expiration dates can be hard coded
into the bar code. For our purposes it is helpful to not do this. I
will not make any hard coded expiration dates, but others for some
reason do. If you have an iPad or iPhone, download an app called coupon
decoder. It has a free version or a 99 cent version. This app will scan
the bar codes right off of your screen and tell you what is in them. If
it says Expiration Date: Not Encoded, you are all good...

The links are all down again! Someone decided to extort me for money
and threaten to change all feedback to 1. If I didn't pay him, he was
going to post the links. I'm going to deal with SR Support tomorrow, but
don't know if threatening vendors for money with feedback and other
threats is even something they will fix. so for now its all down, while I
fix our system, and coupons won't be available again until I got it
setup.
A few bad people are REALLY fucking things up for us all
right now. Anyways, after I said no, he did start posting links, so
thats why they are down again. Fixing it, so this cant happen anymore.
If
any customers want to place a new order, you still can, and I'll give
you the temp links and the other ones that are down, so you are good to
get in on these still now if you want.

its been awile since i went shopping, picked up some normal stuff,
another couple of dickies, socks...i had a few gc i thought id
try...grabbed 2 foot locker 50's a 2 starbucks...i never had very good
luck with gc but i think i found my spot...it just takes patients i
guess.cant wait to try from the new pack i need a new HD
im about to extort gl for a weber Q coup and a ice cream maker or a snow cone coup!
and a gopro camera would be bad ass for summer
im going to be posting the names of GL's unborn kids at midnight if my demands are not met!
hahaha, just joking, i hope the person still causing problems gets cancer
-
I'm new to this whole coupon scene and its very exciting and
intriguing to me! From what I've read, I see that its best to start with
the SR original collection. Are there any requirements to purchase this
listing? I hope to purchase some coupons next time I get some bitcoins.
Also, do we just use regular paper and ink to print these out? Any type
of faqs/guides for noobs such as myself? Any help is much appreciated!
And for whoevers threatening the vendor: Don't fuck up this wonderful
scene I just discovered with your bullshit!
THanks!

There is a way to fix this you know...
1. Give a unique url to everyone who orders. (keep track on a simple spreadsheet)
2. Delete the URL after the person has downloaded. (optional)
3.
Put a link to the review thread in all of your posting. Explain the
extortion affecting your rating. Then nobody will care about the faking
ratings/scammers.
The end.
Trust me, there is **ALWAYS** a
way to deal with these people. Its usually not even that hard because
they always use the dumbest/easiest tactics. Implement the above
measures and you'll expose them for the impotent useless scum they
really are.

wow i leave the country for 2 weeks and the place goes to shit.

bitches, get money)

I understand some people may be upset, and I'm not sticking up for
anyone holding coupons hostage and giving PGL a headache. I just
wanted to say the wishing cancer on anyone IS JUST FUCKING WRONG!
Say whatever you want to offend someone, but leave this disease out of
it. I wouldn't wish this on my own worst enemy. And if you ever
had it, you wouldn't wish it on them either....
Edit- I'm sorry. Got back from the MD with bad news again. On a much better note, I have figured out how to do laundry.

this thread, but I do know I'm done being involved with any drama and
have been since taking on the GL persona.
I talked to this dude
as respectful as I do everyone. I just said no, and told him a little
bit about what I thought, and wished him the best of luck.
One thing though, my ego... that's something I gotta constantly keep in check.
Take a look at the last message this dude left me:
"I WONT STOP
I WONT QUIT
I WILL RUIN YOU
I WILL GET PAID
I WILL HAVE MY MONEY
I WILL GET WHAT I WANT
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
EXPECT ME!!
ILL BE HERE EVERY SINGLE DAY!
HAVE FUN NOT MAKING MONEY"
HAHA
he sounds so serious, dedicated, won't accept defeat... I had to remind
him his words meant nothing to me, and he should examine how serious I
have been, how dedicated I have been, how motivated I have been, and how
much I refuse to accept defeat over my past year here on SilkRoad. Some
CAPS LOCK ain't got nothing on me.
Smoked: thanks again for
always sharing your good ideas with us. We are working on putting
controls in place to correct the situation. You are extremely correct
about how easy a battle this is to win. Sucks I got to waste time on it
though. Shouldn't I be making coupons and fucking bitches this weekend?
I'm
very sorry for everyone who has been inconvenienced by this nonsense. A
security flaw was exposed, I was able to work things out with the
attacker, and some other idiot who saw an SR mod say "Yeah, this is
completely fine!" launched the same attack! Here is an idea... next time
something goes down on my thread, let's not get SR Mods involved, I
don't think this has done much good in the past for us in particular and
I hate to admit it, but we wouldn't be in this spot if SR had simply
just ignored the reporting instead of making a PSA on my thread about
what they thought. I bet they were getting a lot of reports... Your
users happen to want something. I was reminded, this is no democracy. To
be honest, I felt like "Fuck, maybe PurpleLotus was better at being in a
free market than I am."
Ha, I felt like I deserved that jab...
but the reality is I could never have respect for anyone on SilkRoad
more than a Moderator on this forum. Without a doubt they do a great job
and get very little in return for it. I'll always support them, even
when I don't agree with them. Actually I suddenly feel really fucking
guilty that I have never once tipped a Mod on the forum. This is
something they deserve and I should probably take some action on that
soon. I guess it will be you Lib, I haven't seen scout around much
lately. How fucking ironic, the largest tip I ever received as a vendor
was from scout, yet I never paid that one forward... I gotta fix that.
Speaking of action... I got some bold words thrown my way that I should
probably respond to with some action.
Yet another setback in what
has been a fucking EPIC adventure for us. Can you imagine a SilkRoad
where this thread no longer exists? Where I no longer exist? Well I got
some good news, we won't have to anytime soon.
I wish you all the best, even the few haters,
GL
No
worries, controls are being put into place to mitigate this risk in the
future. No one is going to protect us, but us. So let's do this.

Reading over that post again, all I can think of is BruceCampbell
shaking his head at me, and saying "It's coupons man, mother fucking
coupons..."
-
Phew.. Just a quick message to all who are interested. I consider
myself a veteran around here.. I have passed tons of coupons with such
frequency that it is no sweat for me typically. Today I got rattled.. I
was in a home improvement store and didn't find what I needed, but
figured I wouldn't waste the trip and pulled a free $50 GC coup outta my
pocket, found my GC and approached the register. Completely typical the
cashier was supportive, but altogether unprepared to handle the
transaction. Called her supervisor, who then had to call the assistant
manager... He got on his phone and was talking to his boss about how to
push this through... Maybe it was the amount of time it took, maybe it
was something else but I started to panic. No idea why, but it was
powerful. They moved me over to the customer service register and I was
keeping it together, but behind my eyes I was in pretty substantial
panic mode. Then they started asking for personal info for their
computers. (This is pretty typical at these types of stores at the
customer service register anyway) But I was fully unprepared. I was able
to come up with false info pretty nonchalantly, but it was fucking
nerve racking.. I would avoid these types of stores in the future..
Moral of the story, be ready.
(WTF T4B, you know this shit.)
-
This is why I'm a grown man, rocking a fake ID. Well, one of the
reasons at least... I give you props though, did you get the GC or what
man?
My experience tells me this did not end in a giftcard. If it did though, it's an epic story.

Oh of course. I have done the walk of shame fewer than 10 times.

HAHA same here bud, same here. I use to think I was one of the
bests... then I met you mother fuckers. I'm not even in the coupon
playoffs this year.

whats up with the links i keep getting a 404 error?

hahaha, the league sure has expanded this year, huh?
Sitting
back watching people try to fuck this up is annoying but almost
comedic. Bunch of jealous mother fuckers swarm this thread. good thing
there's enough good karma in this bitch to fight back any lame attempt
to hurt it.
But I've already had success with the Bdubbs GC as I sit
here happily stuffing my face with honey barbecue. Holy shit, if this
isn't the life...
I'm in heaven and Lotus is God! if that one doesn't boost the ol' ego, I don't know what will.

bow before you sir. I'm new at this and I've been turned down

No
big deal. It happens to everyone. Of course you are the last person I
would have expected that to happen to. But that's good, shows us that we
are all human and we can all improve. The people who think they are
invincible are the ones who usually never see it coming.... Nervousness
is your friend. Acting nervous is not. Channeling that energy somewhere
else is a good skill.
I've put my mind at ease by admitting that
I am already fucked. I've taken pictures of receipts with my phone for
bragging rights. I've txted people. I'm sure my license plates and face
are on camera. My fingerprints are easily tracked. I've been to jail
(traffic tickets) so that means that if my fingerprints turn up anywhere
in the world it would only take a few seconds to positively identify
me. For those of you who think forensics are expensive...please get your
head out of the 80s. The FBI has a MOBILE APP to check fingerprints
where leo can scan you in about 10 seconds....

I put my self at ease every night repeating the following 3 things:
1. Jail isn't that bad. I'll live.
2. I won't go away for very long.
3. Nobody cares enough to go after me.....yet.
ALL THIS AND I STILL THINK THIS IS THE BEST LISTING ON SR AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO USE IT.
P.S. Clearnet warnings for links are dumb...seriously. TOR offers zero protection from any 3 letter agency.
-
Did you think we were going to let Ebenezer Scrooge run Christmas
2013? Let us never forget the market regulates things here on SR. If you
are a customer of mine, ask NickMode for a free copy of his coupons, he
is running a new special where all of my customers pay nothing. If you
are an enemy of mine, then you probably should toss your hat in with
every other person who stood against me, no doubt you all stand to lose
more than us. A few don't like the way I handle competition, but not one
of those people comprehended that the competition was making the same
claims as me while producing nothing original and ripping you off with
my own words. Let me remind myself, I started exactly where they did but
with honor, integrity, and excellent customer service (something never
produced by anyone else in my market)... and let me remind you, I
started this here and built it into something very difficult to compete
with.
I have never had any competition. I once made the mistake
of accepting the title as "The King of Coupons" what I learned was,
there is only one true king on SR, and he isn't in the business of
regulating me.
They let people try to extort me freely, and
still do, and it opened my eyes very wide to the fact that this was
acceptable here... shit man I thought I had to do this behind closed
doors. That's how I was raised though, and this is a new culture to me.
If
a man exists who sees this market, sees the demand, has the talent and
ability to compete and wants to enter and come correctly, then I'll be
the first to tip my hat and welcome you. I'll probably do it so quickly
that you'll end up working for me. Ain't no more King of coupons, We are
the new Walmart of Coupons... unregulated by anyone, except the market
itself... what freedom!
Suddenly I'm allowed to play on the same
level as the lowest of the low scum on SilkRoad? Except I'm not that
dude... I'll still step on them like cockroaches if it's allowed and
apparently anything is allowed here, so I'm strapping up my boots now.
SilkRoad
has hardened me, it has turned me into a different person. It's been a
tough road, but the day I stop delivering excellent customer service and
an excellent product to the most excellent people on the FUCKING
planet, well... shit, that should be good news for all of us, right?
That means the market regulated itself to the best option and someone
like me is better suited to play in a market regulated by politicians.
The current market is already controlled by me, so you would have to
produce a product that not only appealed to the new SR users, but also
made my own market take a look and see what was going on. Having looked
Deep into my fake competitors actions, I've seen that fakes can't
compete here.
This ain't no fucking democracy! But if it was, PurpleLotus would be an elected official a while ago.
Anyways,
so, like I said, I'm dedicating my weekend to hardening things instead
of making coupons... this is terrible fucking news to everyone (mostly
because I'm wasting my time, not making new coupons) and I'm sorry my
eyes were not yet wide enough to see this as being a matter of time
before it occurred. I walked into a situation where I had no fucking
idea what was going on, I simply wanted to do awesome things and try to
do it in the most awesome way I could. Thank you Silk Road for teaching
me how to do that in such a special way that I could never pay you back.
The real world doesn't stand a chance against someone like me, and now
more than ever thanks to you DPR.
A fraud who had to learn to prevent fraud... fucking irony.

Your #3 point is what keeps me around. As long as you hear my voice,

I'll still pay extra to watch it on 3D

whats up with the links i keep getting a 404 error?
Yeh, 404 also, does this have to do with what's going on in the thread?

not as up stream as we think ;)

I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt the intense discussions going
on this topic, but for someone who's just recently discovered the world
of underground coupons, I have a few questions. Are there requirements
to purchase the coupon listings? I understand I'm to start with the
original one first, and I'm sure that will keep me busy a good long
while.. but does that open me up to purchasing the other coupon listings
as well? Do I use regular paper and ink to print these out? I'm
interested in participating and maybe contributing to this community but
I'm just trying to make sure I understand it first. Any help you can
provide would be much appreciated!
-
i think i have a good idea! maybe it will work....what about
livenation coups? for concerts? i had a few a couple years ago and i saw
a ad on tv yesterday about budweiser livenation coups...is this
something we could make? anyone ever look into this?... with concert
tickets so hight this would be awesome for the summer!

The
only requirement is that you buy the OC collection first. The OC is the
largest, safest, and most useful collection for day to day items. Its
good to get good with this collection before moving on to the advanced
collections like the HC and AC. But to answer your question... Yes,
buying the OC opens you up to purchasing the other collections. PL/GL
may require a waiting period after buying the OC to get the HC OR
AC...I'm not sure on that.
You can use regular ink and regular
copy paper to print these out. Some do black and white, some do color. I
always do color because that's what the cashier will expect to see.
Review the stores coupon policy. Target and Wal-Mart post theirs online.
Always match up barcodes and pay with cash. Done.

I don't ever think I've seen you not smiling. Actually, I've just never
seen you, only imagined... Yeah I had better ways I should have been
spending my Friday night too. Let's see if I can't find something
productive to do today, having woke hours past noon. I did get a booty
call late last night after that post though, so everything happens for a
reason. The movie version of my 4 review threads would have been so
much better if I sold fancy Benzos that most people had never seen or
heard of before instead of just coupons.
Thanks Smoked, I couldn't have answered that better myself.

I'm spending my day learning how to create a PHP login page with a
user database that will be used to access collections which customers
purchase. I think this entire week is going to be dedicated to
adding as many different layers of security as I can. In some ways this
will be great for us and in other ways it's going to be annoying, for me
more than anyone.

Suggestion
: DO NOT make user accounts equal to SR names or anything traceable
back here. Best to do in groups. Give groups of 5 users the same random
login. If a group gets burned minimal work to make new login or track
down problem.
Keep up the great work man!
-
Not that it's a priority, but the Horizon Milk and the Pomegranate
Juice didn't work at W-M....something like "not a valid coupon".
Others have said it works for them though so IDK.
-
Yeah, use the one named "Milk", somehow we ended up with a duplicate
copy of that one and one was not suppose to make it. Can anyone tell me
the name of the exact file the bad one is found in so I can pull it and
reupload it. I have all of my work separated differently, and don't
keep those zip files very often, probably should.
@flwrchlds9:
I'm doing the best I can... but I could sure use some help. Ultimately
I'm just trying to get everything working in a test environment on my
Onion site, then I'll figure out how to handle those issues. And then
figure out how to expand things even further, but at least I can start
handing out accounts at some point.
I may just assign everyone
numbers and then only keep an encrypted copy for me of what number is
for what username. This way there isn't another server that is hosting
all my customers usernames on a database, except SR itself. All the
database would contain is numbers and unique passwords. Only I would
know which number was assigned to who. But the groups of 5 idea is nice,
yet it limits me on a couple of other controls I want to put in for the
future.

I was like you once. Fun isn't it?
I've
been sued, got a few major sites shut down, found out where people
lived and harrased them. I had to use proxy chains, vpns, mac spoofing,
port sniffing (netbios was a helluva leak, lol). Those were the days... I
was hated by dozens of people, not superficially either...deep seated
hate. Not just for a few weeks or months, but years. Yeah, a troll with
dedication. I was wreckless though. Sent some rootkits and began
exposing personal info. Shit got serious when me and my family got
credible death threats. Didn't scare me. I just upped the ante even
more. We don't need to go where that lead.. This was all a few years
before bitcoins or Silk Road even existed. As far as motivations? I'll
spare us both the pain and won't go there either... lol.
So a
part of me wants to sit back and see what you got. So far I've been very
disappointed. You show no skill. No class. Maybe the landscape is
different. Shits too easy now. Load up tor and basically you're done. No
patience, no social engineering, no real risks. All I see is graveling,
desperation, and slimy pathetic bullshit. I don't want to believe you
just aren't smart enough to pull this off but its looking like that more
and more now.
Get your shit together man. Put down the drugs.
Figure out what really motivates you. Grow a pair. Take the time get
some skills and then come back and put up a real fight. Don't always go
for the low hanging fruit because then you'll never learn how to climb.
That's the speech I'd like to give you. But I can't. Not with a straight face at least.
Instead
I have to go with my gut instinct evaluation of you. I'd like to tell
you its all gonna be okay. It's okay that your dad dressed you up in
drag and fucked you in the ass. It's okay even if you liked it a little.
But its time to move on man. Seek help. You don't fuck everything up do
you? For your own sanity, I suggest you get a job at McDonald's, maybe
one day you can be a manager and actually feel good about yourself. I'm
pulling for you man. lol.
P.S. I don't have specifics and I don't care to. My assessment might be totally wrong. Only time will tell.

Hey GPL & Community!
Finally hit 50 posts, I've been
working on getting 50 since I bought the OC. I just wanted to say that
this collection is amazing, and GPL is the boss. I've been using the OC
in my local town, and in the surrounding towns, and have yet to have any
issues at all. Not using the SC and cashier profiling are great tips.
I will hopefully buy the newest pack in the next few weeks.
TFB,
sounds like you got to have some fun on your last run ;). Reminds me of
my second time using the OC, when a manager got called over. It ended
up that the cashier was new, and simply didn't know what to do with
coupons, but for that 3 minutes I was sweating bullets on the inside,
and trying to stay cool on the outside.
Also, PoMWonderful is in folder 6.

Hey does anyone know if there is a link for the Original collection
that is working atm? Away from home and need to stock up on some
essentials. I need to start carrying all the collections I've
purchased on a flash drive, or encrypted on a cell phone microsd.
Whenever I stray from home I end up wanting/needing a coupon.

I think PL said it might be down for a week.
I
encrypt mine and upload to my free dropbox account. That way any
computer, tablet, or mobile phone has access to the files as long as you
have an internet connection. I also have them encrypted on a flash
drive at home and the SD card of my phone. This is why I was so adamant
about file sizes before. :p
The proper way to encrypt these is
to put them in a RAR or ZIP archive that is encrypted. Be absolutely
sure to encrypt the file names too. It doesn't matter if you encrypt a
file if the filenames are still visible! In WinRAR it's easy. Just a
check mark. In WinZip it is a tiny bit more complicated but still
doable.
To hide the names of the files in your encrypted Zip file, you can double zip them. To do this:
Zip your files without encrypting them
(Use any compression setting you choose with this step)
Save the Zip file with a name meaningful only to you
Close this Zip file
Create a new Zip file and add* the first Zip file to it
Encrypt this time
There are plenty of mobile apps that can open encrypted archives. If your super paranoid you can also PGP encrypt them....
P.S.
Anything sent over the clearnet under any protocol or medium or service
anywhere in the world is being saved and analyzed. Period. Your calls,
your txt, your email, your dropbox. Even the files on your cellphone and
the words you type on you home computer (even offline) are saved and
transmitted. Be careful. :) :-X
-
A week ehh. Hmm might have to remote into home computer
encrypt and throw on dropbox. Thanks for the ideas and
suggestions.

cards, AT&T prepaid cards, and of course a bunch of OC stuff.
-
I have a temp. link setup for people who really need the coupons and
forever whatever reason don't have them, but if you do have them, then
I'm not updating them, so don't worry about asking me. When I get
everything straight they will be up. If I can do it well enough they
will all be back up today.
I'm trying to not give up too much
information, but the only links that are down are the ones that were at
risk. So you if you have the newest collections, you'll probably notice
no issues.
As far as anyone who is considering purchasing, go
ahead and place the order. I have new links for you, and I also have the
way things are about to be handled in place so you will already be set
when the new system is in place with an account and everything.
I
was able to get the new login system and database put together and
working last night. It will make it to where the files are completely
inaccessible unless you are logged in. So just means now I have to start
getting everything changed into new directories and set everything up
so it's still click and download for everyone.
It's a damn shame
we have had to go to this, but many of you told me I should do this a
long time ago and instead I just wanted to make more coupons. A small
few were able to disrupt shit for everyone and make me completely revamp
my delivery methods.
Also, I have decided it would be easier on
everyone if I just made one of those login pages where you had to login
with one of your social media sites like LinkedIn or Twitter. I also now
accept Microsoft points, Facebook coincs, Amazon coins, and Google
checkout... along with BTC as a form of payment! HAHAHA I'm fucking
joking obviously.
But I'm being honest when I say we have a game
plan for security controls to implement. I have decided to take an
incremental, layered approach to it so we can find a nice medium where
we are secure but not so much that the costs have to be passed on to the
buyers. I don't want that to happen for sure, so we aren't going to go
all out quite yet, and just keep working on new things and putting them
into place, while some ideas we simply will be prepared for if it
becomes necessary.
I won't give in to terrorism and I'll simply fight back and combat it, and win.
No
one will ever protect us, except for us. Some of these concepts are
finally hitting me as really great and I should embrace them. If anyone
is strong enough and has enough power and motivation to keep us safe,
it's us ourselves. As far as this thread, our community, and what we
love... How many of us there are who want to keep going no matter
what... We are in prime position and stronger than anything else that
could get in our way. At the end of the day, this isn't a battle I have
to fight alone. We are family here.

VISA gc's in the HC collection for all the gift cards would be very
helpful... I've only got giftcard coupons to work twice, and both of
them were on the VISA GC coupons ( hyatt thing ) I guess it makes it
more believable than a coupon that just says free blah blah blah... Has
anyone else had more luck with the hyatt coupon format?
Oh and I
feel like anything else would work to ( full page coupons ). for
example, a full page coupon printout saying you were awarded a giftcard
for completing a swagbucks survey or something. I would think that these
would take more time to make but I'm just trying to help. 8)

I guess I underestimated myself ;) I didn't realize how many noticed! :)

HAHA there are no trademark laws here, and this shit is chaos... Why
do you think we built a family? Besides this thread, there are only two
days in my life I feel this same feeling, Christmas and funerals.
Just
spent my entire Sunday afternoon seeking professional consultation. It
was a GL expense and one I was happy to pay for. It was invaluable to me
in terms of our communities security and just plain old great things
for me to know in life.
Here is what else is going on... I've
negotiated to make a large investment in something besides new coupon
packs, a wise investment that involves me handing over payments upon
delivery of control to me. So no matter what, I'm going to be here and
I'm going to be presenting the best deal on SR. We won't ever lose, but
in a fairy tale where we did... it's all good because I'm diversifying
my funds in the best interest of always having something else to offer
the community that can't be attacked by terrorists. I'm not only beefing
up security on our coupons, I'm also expanding my talents so that
nothing ever disrupts the Lotus Family. I think these few scummy
dudes underestimated how much love and dedication I run off of in this
market. SR support were bound by principles where they had to leave
security up to us to handle, I'm willing to bet they NEVER
underestimated us though. Gotta love it.

"Have you
ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when
his careless son has happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been
present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the
fact that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them,
by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this
invariable consolation – "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of
glass were never broken?"
Now, this form of condolence contains
an entire theory, which it will be well to show up in this simple case,
seeing that it is precisely the same as that which, unhappily, regulates
the greater part of our economical institutions.
Suppose it cost
six francs to repair the damage, and you say that the accident brings
six francs to the glazier's trade – that it encourages that trade to the
amount of six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against it;
you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his
six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless
child. All this is that which is seen.
But if, on the other hand,
you come to the conclusion, as is too often the case, that it is a good
thing to break windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the
encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it, you will
oblige me to call out, "Stop there! Your theory is confined to that
which is seen; it takes no account of that which is not seen.
It
is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing,
he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had
a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or
added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his
six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented."

I
think you're a smart cat GL...with what you're doing and all...making
sure you're hard ass work pays off and stays safe. I believe it's safe
to say that those who have been with the lotus family got you're back
and support you through thick and thin...just as you have for us. I'm
impressed by your knowledge in Frederic Bastiat's work...A lot of work
(especially "The Law") does make sense in the circumstances. Everyone
else reading...if you don't understand what the hell GL means by

Holy

Not only do we stay entertained, we can even learn a little somethin'
on the way. Thanks Lotus. Looking forward to wherever these new
ideas/precautions take us next.
Also, I can't wait to get involved in the lottery submission pack here soon. It's time to give back, ya heard?

it would. It seems like it has just as much deniability as filling out
surveys does. I'd love to hear the more veteran members' thoughts.

There is one of those already...exactly. I'm not sure what collection it is though.

Also an epiphany that I had about the whole NSA being able to spy on you though your hardware.
Build or buy an OLD computer...like pre-P4 I would imagine and use it for everything SR related.

just found this thread about some printers printing small almost
invisible coded dots.....possibly on our coupons.....that may be traced
back to printer serial number....and possibly to when&where it was
bought and who bought it....maybe im being overly cautious but i think
everyone needs to check it out and see if their printer is on the list.

Thanks,
I guess it's best to buy with cash on site, or on craigslist or garage sale.
Anyways,
what's the best printer that does fine print because my canon 420
doesn't print some of the fine print on the fast food coupons.
Thanks for the Mickeyd's today GL. The mindless robots were busy punching in over ride codes today.

I see what you are saying, and that applies to my other idea:
Facebook Gift Credit, or whatever they are calling them on

yeah
this was brought up before earlier in this thread, I believe. There
were a couple of people that seemed worried but I believe most of the
posts were saying not to worry about it. If they pulled these coupons
and started really studying each one, they would find prints from you,
me, GL, T4B, and everyone else who ever printed them off using public
printers, privately purchased printers, and even school printers. My
point, I guess, is that they would go through just as much trouble this
way than trying to find each one of us using store video footage.
Someone mentioned before that only industrial/commercial printers were
something to worry about because of the possibility of printing up
money, but I'm not sure if thats correct.

Both
seem to be a better option than coupon. I've been getting a lot of ugly

already scored ~$200 in GC from the area, however. I cant complain

I need some friends to start helping me test out the new system I'm
putting in place. Just a couple beta testers to go ahead and check out
if there are any obvious flaws. 3 days ago I didn't know what a line of
PHP looked like, and now I'm basically creating a scalable e-commerce
.Onion site.
The good news is that with a little testing, all the
links will once again be completely live, we will never ever have to
worry about changing links or any of that crap ever again, and some of
you know we have done that too many times. It's actually a great thing
and I'm learning new things and growing personally.
For anyone
currently thinking about purchasing, and wondering what all this stuff
is about me changing delivery methods etc... no worries, you can place
your order right now and get not only a temporary link for immediate
downloads but also I'll issue your login and password for when the new
site goes live.
Reminder: As I currently am working from
temporary links, if you are a customer who for any reason found
themselves without coupons and needs them immediately, message me and
I'll take care of you. Anyone else who currently is a customer, please
be patient, by tomorrow I will be creating and giving out usernames and
passwords which I have planned to be completely unique from your SR
username, unless by request you ask for your SR username, otherwise It
will simply be RNG and unique.
Plan:
1. Beta testing.
2. Scaling to a fully functional yet still very basic operating site with all links restored for easy access.
3. Direct all old links to a set of instructions and then link them to the new site.
4. Site goes live in 48 hours.
-
I'll be around some today.

count me in!
lol.

Awesome news, glad to hear you're over there getting learnt..
I'd be happy to beta test if you need it; just shoot me a pm on SR.

too funny... There are no free Combo meals without a Turkey For
Breakfast. That one is his work, and it was a great gift to us. My
overdue credit to TFB: He has given us so much more than just the
McDonald's coupon that we publicly will never know about and that's not
even mentioning coupons. His karma deserves a x3.
I'm currently moving everything from my test environment to where it will go live, then the beta testing can begin.
flowercity420
and anyone else who may have an opinion: We discussed why it's a bad
idea to use SR usernames as login names on my site. My response was to
keep anything involving a username off of the database for logins but
then considered how I might keep an encrypted document just for myself
so I could always go back and match an account to a SR user for my own
personal records.
...Having thought this out more, I don't see
the point in having any record of who owns which account. It's really a
none issue, but maybe I am under-thinking the potential threats of all
accounts being 100% anonymous even to me. All of my concerns are simply
fixed by deleting the one account in question, so it really doesn't
matter to me who it is. It's not like they can come back to me and say
"Hey, my account isn't working". I'm definitely documenting any account
in which I need to delete, so if I ask that person what his account name
was... well you get it. I don't see it as necessary for any record to
exist. Whether I know who it is or not, they can always register a new
account and buy again.
If anyone ever sees a vulnerability in my
new methods, please, unless it directly involves public concern, just
message me in private so I can fix it up quietly. The idea is to protect
against scammers from ruining my work and taking away all financial
motivation for me to continue to produce something which has worth here
on Silk Road. These are the attacks I'm dealing with... at the end of
the day, I always just thought "Yeah sure, people are going to give this
link to all their buddies, and I'm cool with that, but no one is ever
just going to do something insane in an effort to shut us down."
I
underestimated how some of the lowest in the world operate. I still
believe that most people, even outside of this community, are good
people.
**sorry this has lately become more about security and
less about coupons** I promise a full restore to where we left off and
way beyond that point very soon. We will return to what it is that we
all have in common and read this thread for.
Turkey, Smoked,
Para... you guys can all look out for accounts soon while we are Beta
testing. Bitbets... I see you... you've been a valuable member of the
community recently, but having been with us for less than a month, it's
nothing personal. I look forward to continuing to get to know you. Some
of my best friends have been made here.

I'm
spending my day learning how to create a PHP login page with a user
database that will be used to access collections which customers
purchase. I think this entire week is going to be dedicated to
adding as many different layers of security as I can. In some ways this

more than anyone.

LOL what a funny random scenario I like it!
But T4B, if you drive a Maserati you clearly don't get what this thread is about LOL ;)
I
know exactly what this thread is about.. You think I paid for my Maz?
Shit. I worked up a voucher for the giant slot machine at the Luxor and
walked up to the cashier with it. Filled out a few forms and was handed
the keys.. Mr. Soap, I get it.
I'm that one dude in 100 who takes off in TFB's Maserati. :P
Is there a coupon for that?

Thanks for the Mickeyd's today GL. The mindless robots were busy punching in over ride codes today.
GRRRRRR!
The
idea is to protect against scammers from ruining my work and taking
away all financial motivation for me to continue to produce something
which has worth here on Silk Road. These are the attacks I'm dealing
with... at the end of the day, I always just thought "Yeah sure, people
are going to give this link to all their buddies, and I'm cool with
that, but no one is ever just going to do something insane in an effort
to shut us down."
I underestimated how some of the lowest in the
world operate. I still believe that most people, even outside of this
community, are good people.
GL
I'll
tell you straight up I've made a few friends here.....mostly in the
weed area ;) but straight up anyone who asks me about your coups irl is
usually a cashier and I just tell them some survey crap. In all honesty
though retail workers esp at the stores I'm going to are getting screwed
by their corporate master and I really wish I could help them
out. I did have 1 person send me a PM offering me like $10 bucks
or some shit for your coupons shortly after I joined on here and started
using the forums. I was new and didn't really know how to handle it so I
just deleted the message. But if it they sent it to me, I'm sure they
sent it to others. If it happens again I'll forward you the message so
you can see who they are. I wanna believe that for the most part
99.99% of the lotus family is good people. Now I've bought some food for
other people who aren't as fortunate as us. And I've donated some dog
food to the local shelters. But I can say I have not, and would not give
your coup link away for free. And I think a lot of the other members on
here who are all posting and have your back against these scamming
aholes can say the same. However your right, you need better security
than just a download link probably. I really don't understand why SR
just doesn't kick these scammers off. It sucks.

Thanks
man. I solved this security flaw of bottom feeders messaging all my
forum members trying to pull this.kinda of thing a while ago... It's
been awhile since I repeated it, so the announcement I said basically
everyone was to say "Yes, send me over the $10 and then just keep it and
fuck them and then message me and get rewarded way bigger. Plus you can
brag about it on the forum and get a bunch of +1 cause everyone else
got that same message tooo, so they are happy when someone takes them
out for that kind of thing . Or just message me and make me aware so I
could find someone who would tell the guy to send his $10 over .
My goal was to make it never worth someone doing that kind of deal on
the forum.
-
Backroom coupon dealings? For like $10 or some shit? People must get
bored or really need that stampbag of dope around here man.
-
"I really don't understand why SR just doesn't kick these scammers off. It sucks."
I
still am trying to find the time to fully study into what it is Silk
Road really stands for. Time has been limited, but it's been made clear I
don't fully get it for a lack of information. As far as I'm concerned,
having Silk Road publicly say on my thread that they do not regulate
things around here... I think what they are trying to say is that we
regulate this mother fucker, Us. My experience has also shown me this is
true. Good job to everyone.
@BruceCampbell: Yes, even more ironic, me offering rebates to anyone who can scam a scammer. Fake coupons, real rebates!
-
I still am trying to find the time to fully study into what it is Silk Road really stands for.
In
my best assessment Silk Road stands for freedom. Unabashed outright
freedom. Freedom to do what you want. Even if that means being a piece
of shit.
Always remember what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. By not giving up, you become better GL.
-
Yeah, that's basically what I just said, right? Freedom... freedom
to be a piece of shit, and the freedom to be an army of people united
against giving up against pieces of shit. I really think I get it, but I
just came from a culture that even though we had the same values, we
were regulated and therefor had to work around that. This whole idea I
wish I grasped sooner, because I wasn't completely ready for what I was
going to face.
No better way to learn a lesson than the hard
way. Wait... no my logic was off on that one, but either fucking way.
Lesson learned.
In coupon related news, uploading EVERYTHING on
Tor is a fucking bitch. I bitch just when I update one collection, but
I'm sorry for the delay on the BETA accounts, I'd still hope to crush
the goal of a full launch on Friday. I got everyone's messages for
accounts and there will be a handful or so who get a crack at making
sure the links work when you are logged in, and after you learn
everything you can from inside, then making sure they don't work when
you are not logged in. Friday, I hope to have 100% restoration.
Anyways,
for anyone considering purchasing now, you can do so and I have temp.
links setup for your immediate download, and will have you your accounts
as soon as accounts go out, without you having to ask me. The same as
any previous customers who have already sent messages asking.
I'm
also going to go ahead and lower my prices a bit, until I get everyone
in the new doors. It won't be by enough to piss anyone who ordered them
yesterday off (once you consider what they saved today) but it should be
enough to cover anyone who found themselves suddenly losing 10% of
their bitcoin value in a short period of time.

Damn GL...looks like you been workin your tail off brotha! You need
to take a break at some point and get some strange or something (always
helps me being stresssed out). I haven't been couponin much lately bc my
main store chain got an email for the gc's but the ocs still going
strong. Keep up tha good work bro! Thanks for all your help and
contributions to the Lotus Legends Fam.
-Bio
-
We should incorporate the Lotus Legends Corporation LLC., or just
just LLC LLC for short. ;D Where do I find that paperwork at
around here? :P
Yeah bud, I've been too busy for couponing
too. What I need is a vacation, but this site which plans to roll live
still on Friday is only step 1 in what has become quite the game plan
for the future.
New users here on SR may have their concerns or
uncertainties as to what is going on and how it might play out... but
all my old school homies know that no matter what, worst case scenario, I
will not disappoint. They have already watched me burn it all down just
to build it back up again a couple times. The name, the collections,
all of it. been there, done that. We will protect what is ours, but if I
lacked the forethought previously and it becomes impossible for what we
currently have, we ain't got no worries.
The best decision that
could be made right now for someone interested is to buy immediately.
Ask anyone who's been around the block with me.
PL
*If
you are waiting on a message response from me, likely I have not replied
so I could keep your message marked unread after viewing my bulk reply
so you would be the first I send an account out to after BETA. Some
messages I just don't want to stop and explain what's going on quite
yet, because fixing it is first priority, then I'll tell you the back
story. Critical messages or interested customers I am keeping up with
and responding to asap.
-
there should be a beginners pack of like 15 coupons the necessities
Condoms
Lube
Juice
Valtrex
Small Gift Card coupon
and some other shit to get people interested without buying the entire pack to see fi its for them.
-
I should just repeat more often on the forum that I am open to
giving a free sample of the person of interest's choice from the OC.
Easier for me to just toss out a sample than it is to have a small
beginners pack, but it does boost stats, and possibly new interest and
then of course who isn't already a pro and will not still want the
beginner's pack too?
It's just not where my vision is going right
now, I got larger plans. I'll always toss out a free coupon from the OC
for anyone who wants to see what's up, just tell me which one in the
same message you ask, makes my life two messages easier. :-)
We've kept the "Free $10 Scratch Off Lottery Ticket" coupon a pretty well kept secret. I'm making more money not selling it.

This is how I get into all of my setbacks... "Hey, why not have a
login system?" ... "No, I'm making coupons, leave me alone." ...
Who
knows wraithe, I might get off of work, go home, smoke a bowl and
suddenly "wraithe is a fucking genius!" and then you'll see a beginners
pack next week. Even I don't know what to expect around this thread.
EDIT:
Having reread my post, I never once bashed your idea. I pointed out all
the reasons it was a great idea, but then said "I have better ideas!"
HAHAH fuck you too brother.

GoldenLotus thank you for your hardwork and for having the best coupons in the world

i love you wraithe...but that is a pretty good idea, I think. Not that
the coupons are expensive at all and they pay for themselves in the
first run but it might pull in some people who are on the fence about
buying....if this thread doesnt do that already...
-
Wraithe contradicts himself all the time though. I'm pretty sure he
once suggested I quit selling to people unless they had certain stats. I
was like, "But if you knew how many people made their first purchase
ever on Silkroad with me..."
I think this forum and the threads
on this topic have not only changed me, but it's changed everyone. I
would have to say for 99.99% of us it was for the better. Christmas 2012
was the fucking shit and I'll be damned if one of the Ebenezer
Scrooge's on Silk Road is going to stop us from having an even better
Christmas in 2013.
I took out loans so I could buy Christmas presents for my family in 2011...

Is there seriously a $10 scratch off lottery ticket coupon that I'm missing out on?!
-
I
can throw the keys to my Maserati at a random stranger and explain "I
have an emergency and my car is illegally parked, could you please park
it for me and I will be back as soon as I can‽" and run off before they
respond. 99 out of 100 times, and probably better than that, I would
return to find my vehicle parked responsibly and my keys left with the
barista at the nearest starbucks.
LOL what a funny random scenario I like it!
But T4B, if you drive a Maserati you clearly don't get what this thread is about LOL ;)

AMAZING idea brother......
+1000Karma for thinking of this.
Haters
and thieves are always trying a way to fuck up peoples game and I think
this will make it near impossible to keep up with their games of
fuckery.Hope you are doing well and that everyone else here is saving an
assload of money couponing.
Peace all.
All
is well man. I suggested there was a family emergency I had to do my
part to help out with. In my mind... man, everything... all to say it
worked out as great as I could have imagined.
...
As I am
working on my next goal... I drift off and start thinking, "How could I
make a timer for Shrek and Visa so that they know when they can hit +1
again? " I was pretty fucking high at that point.
Take care,
GL
That's
funny because as I was reading what I had missed I hit both you and
TFB,so I don't need a reminder,especially when I think of all you have
done for myself and my loved ones.Thank you brother.
Sent you a message on SR,disregard if you are busy with the family and such.
PEACE
-
HAHA no the free scratch off comment was a joke... Why get a scratch
off if you can just get the visa card? Scratch offs are a losing
proposition.
I could make a collection call "The Addictive Collection"...
I
currently have 60 messages sitting there, so I better get my shit
together and get all these accounts created. I was trying to figure out a
more automated way of creating them and then just handing them out.
There has to be a way to just populate columns of random numbers into
the username and password fields on my database. This is all new to me,
but the idea of doing it manually as many times as I would have to kinda
makes me cringe. Either way, it gets done within 24 hours, finished.

Hold up lotus! I probly sound like an idiot asking you this but I'm

I'm a regular user of the Original Collection. It is by far the
greatest investment I've ever made in my life thus far. I use premium
toiletries, shampoos, lotions, fuckin' addidas aftershave, mothafuckin'
Dove body wash and pay next to nothing for this shit. Same goes for the
food. I have a fridge dedicated to Redbull, Monster, and Rockstar.
Noobs,
I used to be in your shoes...my first purchase on Silk Road was
LSD,MDMA&WEED and was competely amazed when these substances
arrived on my doorstep.
I just happened to stumble upon the
coupon thread on these forums, checked out the actual listing on SR,
looked closely at each product/coupon and then the $$ amount saved. I
read the first ten pages of this thread and knew it work only because
the community on SR is fucking awesome. My first purchase: $40 of frozen
food for $3...I still remember that high. And there were tons more
after that. I coupon with my best friends. Just did our monthly $400
food run for no more than $80.
Buy the coupon pack.
In
other news...I bought the HC about 3 weeks ago. My first few runs were
terribly unsuccessful. I got zero giftcards the first week. However I
was able to get a free copy of Black Ops II so in my mind the HC had
already paid for itself in a sense.
Two days ago I spent 8 hours with
my best friend going to every Target, Walmart, Kmart, Publix, even a
bunch of Lowes, Big Box stores, Large gas stations, you name it...excpet
for Walgreens/CVS (they know whats up). I wanted to dedicate a full day
to Gift Cards. The results were $500 in various restaurant gift cards,
$250 in Visa Gift Cards. Had I bought the Advanced Collection I could
imagine that number being at least $1000 or more.
There's a
reason why Lotus makes you buy the Original Collection before the
Hardcore/Advanced. I have rougher skin. When a CSM says no, I politely
ask why and challenge their logic. I don't mind being a jerk to the
cashier when he or she is being a dick or a bitch. I ask for the
manager. I'm incredibly friendly to the manager. I tell them straight up
"I work in retail. Sometimes in retail an employee might bullshit and
say something that isn't true." The manager sure as fuck knows this. I
whip out a coupon policy once in a while if this manager decides to be a
dick. Most of the time it's a friendly discussion. It's weird that I'm
now more comfortable couponing for Gift Cards than I am for buying food.
Thank you GL. The OC changed my life, the HC is starting to leave it's mark as well.
wish I could +1 everyone here <3
-
Btw, the $59.99 Xbox 12 month gold membership coupon is expired and the full page version doesn't scan anywhere.
Any
chance someone can just put up one for the 3-month $24.99 xbox gift
card. I'd going crazy without some after-work video gaming?
just fyi,
Love & Respect

Right
on, man! I know what you mean about talking to the employees and
managers about shit. Whenever someone gives me shit with the OC's I bust
out their own coupon policy and usually end up with all of my items,
even if they have to override stuff. I make them think that they owe me
what I am basically stealing.
-
Ive been having a lot of bad luck with the HC coupon pack especially
whenever I talk to someone in person. most of the time they just say
they cant accept it and then they wont even scan it :/
The main place
I've been having luck is at the self check out walmarts. I have passed
off PLENTY of starbucks cards and a few pizza hut ones but I can never
get visa's to work anywhere.
The UPC code on visas at all the
walmarts I've checked never match. And when I find a store where they do
match I generally get denied. So far I've passed off one $20/$25 and
thats the only visa.
I just bought the AC pack and I'm going to try
my luck in the morning with that but I guess what I'm asking is what
stores do people generally have success with GC's at? Every walgreens
denies me and same with most safeways, walmarts and targets so far.
Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
-
I have a lot of stories to share and get caught up on, but I figured I'd chime in on my lastest....
The Place: Target
The Item: Roku 3
The Coupon: $90 off
The
victims: One teenage cashier in the electronics dept., and one mid-20's
attractive electronics dept. manager who was obviously called over.
The
story: i went in there determined, so I go to the electronic's dept and
ask specifically about the Roku 3. Teenage cashier took me to the isle
where they're usually at, but they appeared to be out of stock. I asked
him to double check, so he grabbed a scanner, scanned the sticker on the
shelf, and told me they were out.
Ok, no problem, I'll just do a
little reconnaissance.....a couple isles down, I saw a Roku 3! Sweet! I
took it to the teen and said, excitedly, "Dude, you DO have it!". He
starts ringing it up and I showed him the coupon (printed in color on
glossy paper - looks great!), and he immediately calls for a manager and
I say "Yeah, that's what I would do". The attractive mid-20's manager
is eyeballing the SHIT out of the coupon.....and after about 30 seconds,
she reluctantly says to the teen "Go ahead and ring it up", but she's
really suspect and starts writing something down in some log. This
coupon was obviously a matter of concern for this manager, so I quickly
paid the remaining balance, about $15 (with a $50 MasterCard GC I got
earlier no less :) ) and briskly but casually walked out of there with
my prize. Happy Father's day!

So now I have to type in a captcha to message everyone too? LOL damn man.

I finally noticed a Target w/ a SC. 8) I don't even know what I can get past them, but I can't wait to try a gc.
I've
been visiting a "magic" WM SC for a couple of months, passing a *$x gc
or two as often as three times per week - no human approval required.
It's may be not significant, but the free-ride SC's seem to be the ones
grouped in six or eight SC's apiece, arranged in a rectangular, corral
fashion.
I believe that those are the ones to find, while the
SC's that have been around for years and are more commonly arranged only
four per store, two per checkout aisle. The 6-8/store corral-style SC's
seem, in my experience, to have a more trusting implementation of the
POS coupon logic, and I can get two (*$x) gc's out in two transactions,
taking no more than 45-60 sec total time, with the SC overseer cashier
distracted by as many as a half-dozen or more other customers. Sweet!
I should add that I only use the SC for gc's. The OC is best w/ a real cashier.

Doesn't target not accept any coupon over like 50 bucks? ???

Grabbed my vacation groceries with PL's coupons today! Thanks for saving me $150! 'preciate it!
-
Just a suggestion from someone who bought the OC for the first time a
few days ago and still hasn't received anything but a link to a message
that said some stuff about creating usernames and passwords:
GL
should be creating usernames and passwords for new users FIRST.
Existing users most likely have already downloaded the coupons and it's
unfair to make a first time buyer, who purchased with the expectation
that she would receive them promptly, wait indefinitely without any
advance notice.
-
ANNOUNCEMENT: For everyone wondering what my delay is on completing
the new site and answering messages.... I was involved in a car accident
with injury. I am able to sit at the computer for a bit, but not for
long periods. I'm going to see about how comfortable I can get working
from my laptop in bed. The silver lining is that I won't be dealing with
my normal real life responsibilities for a few days so I will be able
to continue my work, hopefully with more time on my hands in the next
day or so.
I am going to go ahead and kick myself into Vacation
mode until I complete the new system. Not because I can't fill new
orders, I can... but I just want my focus to be on one thing only right
now (besides obviously my health).
@amurphy345: I am personally
very sorry for your wait. This is far from what people have come to
expect from me. I will correct the situation immediately, assuming I can
figure out who you are on SR right away. New buyers will be the first
to recieve the accounts, and also I have temp. links setup for you right
now so you'll get a message shortly and your wait will be over. Please
forgive this inconvenience.
-
@BTAU: the target policy seems to be very common, it's often
referred to by many of us, and I personally know it to be true in my
area, however it does not seem universal becaus I also get reports that
some Targets have no problemn with coupons over 50.
In GL related
injury news, would someone please PM me any recommendations on a pain
pill/opiate vendor who does 24 overnight shipping or something? Please
send me a PM only, even though I use buyer accounts for this kind of
thing, I don't want any suggestions on who I might handle business with
publicly spoken of on here.
-
Just wanted to say that GL resolved this to my satisfaction and then some - great vendor and great customer service.
On
another note, I was thinking - if you're using self-checkouts at a
store that uses loyalty cards, you want to get the deals but obviously
you don't want to use a card in your name when you're using these
coupons. But you usually can't get a courtesy card without asking for an
employee. If it were possible for someone to obtain the barcode to a
courtesy card, we could recreate it and use it to avoid needing a
cashier. I'm thinking of Shaw's and Stop & Shop here.
-
Just wanted to say that GL resolved this to my satisfaction and then some - great vendor and great customer service.
On
another note, I was thinking - if you're using self-checkouts at a
store that uses loyalty cards, you want to get the deals but obviously
you don't want to use a card in your name when you're using these
coupons. But you usually can't get a courtesy card without asking for an
employee. If it were possible for someone to obtain the barcode to a
courtesy card, we could recreate it and use it to avoid needing a
cashier. I'm thinking of Shaw's and Stop & Shop here.
Or
just sign up for another courtesy card under a fake name and phone
number...since they take 3 seconds to get and are free at any of the
places I've ever been, I have about 10 different ones.

Ok, I now have the first 100 accounts and usernames created.
Currently only the OC is accessible, but that will be changing pretty
quickly as I create their pages too.
Might pass out some beta
accounts tonight, but I dont think I'll begin full distribution of
accounts until I have all collections live. User accounts will remain
the same and consist of 6 digit randomly generated numbers for username
and also 6 randomly generated numbers for password. Each user is
only given access to the collections they paid for, and so far testing
has shown it to not be possible to download a file even if you know it's
full path, unless you are logged in successfully with your account.
For
those who missed earlier posts: Why the delay? Auto accident with
injury... Luckily this gives me freedom from all other life
responsibilities for a bit, so I'll have entire days of healing where I
can work on SR related things. Besides this new system, we have some
really major ideas of how to progress and bring out some new content
ASAP. Moving forward, it will be much harder for anyone to rip us off.
There
are NO records kept of SR usernames, but there are records kept of how
often the files are accessed by each randomly generated username, so if I
see something way out of wack, just delete the username... and see who
messages me or changes feedback.
I know some of you are
thinking, "Wait, while this is a great step towards mitigating
problems... what if..." Well we are covering the What Ifs way ahead of
the scammers too, while also coming up with some really cool new stuff,
because I know this past week of focus on security and a lack of new
content has sucked for us all. Blame the trolls.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
For everyone wondering what my delay is on completing the new site and
answering messages.... I was involved in a car accident with injury. I
am able to sit at the computer for a bit, but not for long periods. I'm
going to see about how comfortable I can get working from my laptop in
bed. The silver lining is that I won't be dealing with my normal real
life responsibilities for a few days so I will be able to continue my
work, hopefully with more time on my hands in the next day or so.
Damn
GL you can't seem to keep yourself out of trouble lately. I'm sorry to
hear that you're injured, but glad it's not too major.
I must have
some kind of connection to you guys because I've been pretty busy lately
and two hours ago just thought "I need to check on the Lotus Family"
and none other than a time that you have an announcement.
Sorry I cannot recommend any vendors for pain meds, hopefully you'll find somebody.
Hope you get to feeling better.
-
Damn, my friend...Sorry to hear the news about the accident; hoping all is well with ya and you get the hookup..
I'll be lurking around here tonight if you need a beta tester. Just give me a holler

Gl, whenever you get around to making more coupons, what do you
think of making what I called a "tiered" coupon printoff? The
first coupon, at the top of the page, would be for the most off the
product, the second a lesser amount and the 3rd an even lesser amount.
For
starters, this would make it more comfortable to go up to the cashier
with something other than all $10 off coupons, and it would be more
comfortable using more coupons and then getting better savings.
Secondly, the Giant Eagle where I live doesn't take anything greater than $5 coupons.
Also, some of the coupons are for more than the item costs and this isn't allowed at some stores.

Bitbets,
what you are asking for here requires quite a bit of work. If you have a
specific coupon request for a smaller amount on a certain item just ask
for it in the Submission Lottery and 'someone' might make it for you.
If it is for something already in the OC, it would require GL's
blessing, but if you are already a customer of his and only wanting to
adjust the amount he might be open to it.
What are you looking for??

I finally noticed a Target w/ a SC. 8) I don't even know what I can get past them, but I can't wait to try a gc.
I've
been visiting a "magic" WM SC for a couple of months, passing a *$x gc
or two as often as three times per week - no human approval required.
It's may be not significant, but the free-ride SC's seem to be the ones
grouped in six or eight SC's apiece, arranged in a rectangular, corral
fashion.
I believe that those are the ones to find, while the
SC's that have been around for years and are more commonly arranged only
four per store, two per checkout aisle. The 6-8/store corral-style SC's
seem, in my experience, to have a more trusting implementation of the
POS coupon logic, and I can get two (*$x) gc's out in two transactions,
taking no more than 45-60 sec total time, with the SC overseer cashier
distracted by as many as a half-dozen or more other customers. Sweet!
I should add that I only use the SC for gc's. The OC is best w/ a real cashier.
I
feel you man! I just found 2 WM SC's that I have been getting GC
at. It is really nice not having to talk to anyone! haha ;D
I tried your method of 2 GC one after the other, and sure enough I
got both of them within 45-60 sec....easy peasy.
my question
is, are any of you guys checking your balances on these cards? if so
are you doing it by internet or phone? should one be worried about
checking balances from cell phone?

I just thought it was a good idea although I have no idea how hard it is.
A
good example was a crest coupon is for $3.25 when the product is only
like $2.98 or so. I ended up buying a 2 tube combo for $6.50 and
getting the $3.25 off, which is a good deal, but if the coupon was
tiered at $6.00, $3.00 and $1.50, I would have paid 0.25 for one tube or
0.50 for the two tubes.
It's just something to keep in mind.
-
The lottery, well, I'm not sure which direction it is going in...
I'll make an official announcement on it's direction soon on it's
thread. I was hoping to get more time at the computer today than I did,
but I found myself sore and back in bed.
Right now coupons are
unavailable to many people and I have a couple fractured bones, so I
don't even have a timeline anymore, all I can say is things will be
restored back to better than ever soon.
Temporary links are
setup for anyone who wants to place an order, I had gone into vacation
mode but if I can handle the sales, I might as well not turn them down.
-
Hate it that you've gotten banged up a bit in an accident, GL. Hope
that your recovery is swift and the pain is easily treated.
I'm
still reaping the rewards of my investment in your products. If you were
in a full-body cast for a year and couldn't update a single coupon, I
couldn't complain a bit. I easily recoup my cost in total for all of
your products in a single day of couponing. A couple of trips to
Wal-Mart and I've saved enough to pay for the OC, HC, AC, Lotto, Not
Free! and Lessons, with some left over for a tip.
For any
prospective customers that are still undecided, you are really best
advised to buy ALL of GL's offerings immediately, or at least get the
OC. Work it into your regular grocery regime and watch your food bill
dwindle to next to nothing. Get comfortable enough to pass the gift card
coupons - or find a self-checkout which takes them unchallenged - and
you can eat out for free too, driving to restaurants and grocery stores
on free gas.
Don't be concerned about the recent access/links
discussion - it's just a measure of how popular and highly-valued GL's
wares are. As with any digitally delivered product, download it and
verify its size and contents as soon as you can and make a backup copy.
I
downloaded and saved two encrypted copies of everything as soon as I
got access. My biggest problem is finding a place to buy bitcoins (w/o a
15% fee) for NiceDeal's Cheebas and Sally's Jet Fuel - and that tip I
owe GoldenLotus dozens of times over.
Rest Up and Take Care.

ANNOUNCEMENT: In an effort to cause no more inconvenience to anyone,
I have restored all of the original links now that we no longer
actively have to deal with the issues I am working on resolving. Still a
couple of bugs in the new system I'm working out, so for now I just
want to restore normal operations to give myself an extra couple days to
complete this work despite by personal circumstances.
I can't
allow us to stay "under construction" any longer so business will
continue as usual until I am able to complete the construction. At this
point I'd rather there be risk on myself than to simply not have product
to provide.
As of right now, all original links are up and
working, when the new system rolls out they will all be redirected, and
assuming no trolls come out from under their bridge, this should suit us
just fine until we are 100% in the new system.
Will update soon. All links are now active.

The Sara Lee bread coupon numbers did not match up to the
product.....but I'm not sure if I got that one from NickMode or not.
-
Yea this appears to be a common thing with Sara Lee Bread UPCs...
which leaves me in a spot to either make a different kind of bread
coupon or do one like I did for the HP Ink and KCups where it wont
matter if the UPC matches or not... With the HP Ink and KCup situation
it was a nobrainer, but exactly how bad do we want Sara Lee bread?
I
could toy with the Sara Lee coupon and force it to work regardless or I
could just pick a new brand of bread. I don't eat Sara Lee bread and
that ended up in there as a request but ultimately did not show to match
all Sara Lee UPCs nationwide.
Also, how do the Lotus coupons
compare to the NickMode coupons? I know NickMode obviously doesn't have a
forum review thread for a reason... he doesn't want his customers to
have a venue to express concerns or share opinions for customers who are
on the fence, but I'm curious as to what my customers think. I'm asking
for unbiased opinions, no bashing or anything, I just want to know what
anyone who may have experienced both collections thinks.
-
If you're looking for a (I think) widely-distributed bread brand,
everyone who bought the Coupon Lottery (and why would anyone not buy
this?), look in the first zip for the Health@#!!bread.jpg file.
It's HFCS-free and usually costs less than $1 more than the coupon
value, even w/ tax.

I
am of the opinion that I am neither favorable nor disfavorable to sara
lee bread. If we made Sara Lee bread work, I might buy it. If we made a
different brand of coupon, I would probably buy that instead.
As
for NickMode's collections, I have never bought them. I honestly
have not run into any item which I needed that isn't covered in your
pack. And honestly, your customer service has never left me wanting for
anything. Sorry I couldn't be more help on that question.

I didn't buy nickmode's collection either, but it was offered for free while GL's link was down.
I really don't care what kind of bread it is, I've just made it a habit to report on coupons.
As
for the other $4.50 milk coupon, it didn't go through either, but the
cashier manual put it in even though the milk was only $4.25.
-
+1 for you and TFB again,as well as well wishes recovering from the accident.
Also...you have a pm my little buddy.
PEACE

So I get -3 karma for suggestions and reporting on coupons?
What kind of a place is this? Was it because I mentioned
NickMode's coupons? Like I said, I didn't buy them, GoldenLotus
got them for me free while his links were down.
So yeh...what did
I do to get -3 karma, which I have an idea who gave it to me because I
could read some sarcasm in between the lines....
-
Ok, I've decided it's time for a new chapter in the Lotus saga...
I've
decided to buy an RV that sleeps up to 7 people. Me and 6 lucky guests
will spend our days traveling the country in what will be one of the
most epic couponing adventures to ever take place on this planet. When
we aren't on the road traveling this beautiful country we will break off
into couponing teams hitting every city as hard as possible. Each time
the RV gets full of items (multiple times a day) we will stop at a USPS
and ship everything off to Amazon's Fulfillment by Amazon store where
they will handle reselling all of the items for us. We will live off of
what we can coupon. Food, Gas, VISA cards... whatever we need to have a
great time and sustain ourselves, and everything else will get shipped
off to Amazon at the end of the day.
We will have everything we
need in the RV to make new coupons on the fly and print them off in high
quality with holograms and glossy paper. We will have an 1-800# printed
on the coupon for verification that it is legit, which will relay to a
prepaid phone operated by one of us back in the RV. We will also have
verification letters and postmarked envelopes that have been shipped
from the company to explain why they have given us such awesome coupons
and again sending whoever it may concern to call our 800 number waiting
in the RV
If we have more interest than we do available seats in
my RV, then wraithe has expressed interest in buying a second RV and
starting an East coast vs. West coast coupon-a-thon RV battle! The trip
will last a month, we are all expected to make 6 figure pay checks in
this one month, and the two RVs will meet back up at the end to throw a
huge ass Lotus Legends party where a dozen of us now have way too much
cash and nothing left to spend it on!

I
appreciate your reports and I gave you a +1... you already had -3 karma
before you mentioned NickMode's coupons so I'm not sure why you are
making waves about it and even more so why you claim that I gave you his
coupons because my links where down. This is baffling, and it's ok, I
don't need clarification, just knock it off. If I gave them to anyone,
then I have not been properly thanked.
You didn't do anything
wrong, but mentioning a competitor at all is usually frowned upon on
vendors threads... it's why I opened it up for discussion if anyone had
tried both my products and his to go ahead and share that experience. I
wouldn't do that if I wasn't very confident in my product against my
competitors. Also claiming I gave it to you makes me look bad just for
the idea that I would give out a competitors product for my own gain. No
one has ever received a coupon from me that wasn't made by me.

I second that handsoap! Also, the car accident I was injured in this
weekend, not only was I not at fault but I was also not drunk!
Silver-linings everywhere...
-
I have a lot of stories to share and get caught up on, but I figured I'd chime in on my lastest....
The Place: Target
The Item: Roku 3
The Coupon: $90 off
The
victims: One teenage cashier in the electronics dept., and one mid-20's
attractive electronics dept. manager who was obviously called over.
The
story: i went in there determined, so I go to the electronic's dept and
ask specifically about the Roku 3. Teenage cashier took me to the isle
where they're usually at, but they appeared to be out of stock. I asked
him to double check, so he grabbed a scanner, scanned the sticker on the
shelf, and told me they were out.
Ok, no problem, I'll just do a
little reconnaissance.....a couple isles down, I saw a Roku 3! Sweet! I
took it to the teen and said, excitedly, "Dude, you DO have it!". He
starts ringing it up and I showed him the coupon (printed in color on
glossy paper - looks great!), and he immediately calls for a manager and
I say "Yeah, that's what I would do". The attractive mid-20's manager
is eyeballing the SHIT out of the coupon.....and after about 30 seconds,
she reluctantly says to the teen "Go ahead and ring it up", but she's
really suspect and starts writing something down in some log. This
coupon was obviously a matter of concern for this manager, so I quickly
paid the remaining balance, about $15 (with a $50 MasterCard GC I got
earlier no less :) ) and briskly but casually walked out of there with
my prize. Happy Father's day!
Doesn't target not accept any coupon over like 50 bucks? ???
From
my observation, it appeared as if the ROKU3 coupon had to be manually
entered. Previously, I tried to pass a $40 Honeywell coupon (these are
GREAT btw) at a different T at the front cashier, and it required the
scrutiny/approval of a manager. The system rejected it, it said "Coupon
is $40 too much", but with approval it passed.
I've never had
any issues with OC not working at various T's (except for maybe the
Jacks Links and Sarah Lee ones, which either get manually entered
anyway).
What was odd about this particular Honeywell-passing
experience however was the fact that I approached the youngest "don't
give a fuck" teen I could find (he was wearing a big fat hemp
necklace...). When I handed him my HW coupon (printed color on glossy
paper), he was skeptical right away and told me he needed to check. He
said some other 'fraudulent' coupons had passed his way, so I asked him
about it and he said that someone tried to pass some underwear coupons
and they looked like shit...said the printing was all blurry and the
colors were off. Thankfully mine looked great, so the manager approved
after observing it for about 30 sec.

I finally noticed a Target w/ a SC. 8) I don't even know what I can get past them, but I can't wait to try a gc.

distracted by as many as a half-dozen or more other customers. Sweet!
I should add that I only use the SC for gc's. The OC is best w/ a real cashier.
I
am interested in this because I actually had a rejection-experience at
the same type of rectangular setup. I was trying to use a little overage
and I'm sure that is the reason why they initially got rejected. Once
the SC teller came over and observed my coupons I was using, she called
another manager, who called another manager who ultimately rejected them
because the "Internet coupons need to have that extra-unique bar-code".
I think I know what she's talking about. The attempted coupons were
--->$7.50 Duracell (--tried overage by getting a $3 pack) + $10 off
Fancy Feast 24pk -(-tried a little overage in addition to getting a free
12pk of the green-box medleys (Yes, they work for these!)
I
realize this rejection was due to my attempted strategy, but if there's a
way to get GCs to pass, I'm all up for it. How do you swipe-activate
the cards once you purchase them?
-

Not a recommended strategy.
Overages
are fine if you like that kind of attention (IMO it hurts the community
but some people like it) but the item descriptions are broad enough...
stick with what's described to avoid trouble. I heard that's why the
extreme couponer from TV is now behind bars
-
The (NEW) Not Free Collection was designed to give people more
options, especially those who found their area beginning to no longer
accept GC coupons for "Free".
I haven't heard much feedback about
the NF collection, but that usually means it's doing great. It's
actually a rather low % of my active customers who come on the forum and
tell the stories of success, which is fine because I understand the
reasons for keeping it to yourself. The fact that I have received 0
complaints tells me all is going well!
Repeat of announcement:
All original links have been restored as I complete my work on debugging
the new system. I planned to be far ahead of where I currently am, but
my recent injuries have held off my progress. I can't allow for the
coupons to be down for any longer, so the old system is temporarily in
place. Once all systems are live and everyone has their credentials,
then all previous links will redirect to the login page.
@Kaleb12:
To each his own strategy. I know Dev well enough now to where I know he
is skilled at a high level. Even I can't tell him otherwise, but the
reason I'm commenting is to make it very clear, the TLC Extreme
Couponer's arrest was NOT for using fraudulent coupons. He was arrested
for stealing large amounts of newspaper. Just wanted to be clear on
that. No need for a clearnet link to the arrest report, but it's easily
found on Google.
-
Sorry to hear about your recent bad luck Lotus, hope it all changes soon you deserve it!
to
clarify: They did NOT use fraudulent coupons They DID however brag
about matching UPC for ex. a coupon for 24pk works on a 12 pack or even a
2pk with the same UPC. While folks using your AMAZING products have a
wide range of plausible deniability, it was easy to prove intent when
ignoring the item description.
It was just a friendly warning
along with my honest opinion. After all your coupons are almost never
count specific and if they are it's for the smallest pack.
All
of us should do what we feel like with these but I would hate for a
newbie to get the impression that you can walk into ANY grocer and walk
out with groceries and cash.. so @Dev, no hard feelings do your
thing I wasn't telling you don't do it I was just sharing info and tell
your bodyguard to back off LOL
-
HAHA it wasn't so much Dev I was defending, he can hold his own, but
the point I wanted to make is no one ever got arrested for using
fraudulent coupons or even misusing real ones. They DID however get
caught for doing that on the show and even admitted to it, but it had
nothing to do with the actual arrest or charge against him. He got
caught stealing newspapers... speaking of.. it's about time I make a
coupon for newspapers! HA
Anyways, sorry Kaleb12, you had some
valid points and unfortunately as awesome as some of these stories are
from guys who have been doing this more than a year with us are, it does
give new users the wrong idea and can lead to people trying to run
before learning to walk. I still love these kinds of reports on my
thread though, and I just do the best I can behind the scenes, one on
one with new customers to lay out a map to success for them. It's always
baffling when I give people very clear and concise directions for
achieving optimal success, just to have them come back to me and say "I
did not follow your advice, and now I'm having an issue, do you have any
other advice?" ... what a tough spot to be in for me trying to provide
excellent customer service. If you want success, then you have to follow
the steps of the successful people that came before you. Any and all
shortcuts, while still possible to be successful, ultimately will lower
your chance of success with the more extreme high dollar coupons. This
is one of the reasons you must buy the OC first, but I can't force
anyone to actually use it first.
Another reason for this policy
is that if you have no need for household items, food, drinks, etc...
but do have a need for an XBOX 360, then you are likely not in an age
bracket that we are comfortable with on this thread.
Thanks again Kaleb,

So
I get -3 karma for suggestions and reporting on coupons? What
kind of a place is this? Was it because I mentioned NickMode's
coupons? Like I said, I didn't buy them, GoldenLotus got them for
me free while his links were down.
So yeh...what did I do to get
-3 karma, which I have an idea who gave it to me because I could read
some sarcasm in between the lines....
I
appreciate your reports and I gave you a +1... you already had -3 karma
before you mentioned NickMode's coupons so I'm not sure why you are
making waves about it and even more so why you claim that I gave you his
coupons because my links where down. This is baffling, and it's ok, I
don't need clarification, just knock it off. If I gave them to anyone,
then I have not been properly thanked.
You didn't do anything
wrong, but mentioning a competitor at all is usually frowned upon on
vendors threads... it's why I opened it up for discussion if anyone had
tried both my products and his to go ahead and share that experience. I
wouldn't do that if I wasn't very confident in my product against my
competitors. Also claiming I gave it to you makes me look bad just for
the idea that I would give out a competitors product for my own gain. No
one has ever received a coupon from me that wasn't made by me.
No..i
didn't think it was you sorry. I didn't mean to make waves.
You didn't give it to me, Nickmode did as you know.
Anyways..I didn't see that until now though.
GoldenLotus has been awesome so don't think I was saying otherwise.

The new PS3 update bricked a load consoles.
If any of you all have a PS3 coupon, now would be a good time to try it.

I
don't understand what you are saying here? Sony did an update and it
caused a lot of consoles to stop working? If so it is unlikely to be
ones purchased using a coupon and more likely ones which were jail
broken. This is likely because there is soon to be legal precedent
making this practice illegal. If you have a PS3 coupon anytime is a good
time to try it, but wait until the Supreme Court rules on electronic
ownership and jail breaking before violating Sony's rules.

No worries Bitbet, you've been around long enough to establish you
are a good dude. I just wanted it to be clear I didn't give anything out
to anyone. I knew what you meant, but the average reader would have
taken it a different way. You are good in my book buddy and you are on
my +1 list. If Shrek and Visa can follow it up, then that breaks you
even.
Keep up the good feedback and reports, it's greatly appreciated.
I'm
so hyped for Christmas 2013! We will have a completely revamped
Christmas collection out right before shopping season starts with all of
2013's latest hot items.
Priority list:
#1 Finish new coupon
distribution site (had an error occur with downloads, something about
the way I'm handling php sessions is causing them to time out before the
DL completes)
#2 Full expiration updates on OC and HC before they flirt with expiring on us.
#3
New content, new projects, and one of the next areas of focus will be
on new templates. It's time that we add in some never before seen
variety for the cashiers and managers.
I wish I was better with
this web page scripting stuff. My dream is to start the world's first
successful BTC camwhore site. I want to be the world's first BTC e-Pimp!

Before
laughing hysterically at the irony... I just want to say that I think
of TFB like a brother to me. ok, now back to laughing hysterically! HAHA
did you really just say that if you use the coupon to score a PS3 then
be sure not to violate any of Sony's rules? I see what you mean now that
I reread it, but at first I was just like, "Whaaa???"
No, Sony
is not ever going to release a firmware update targeted at sniping out
PurpleLotus Playstations. BitBets just has a really expanded imagination
which no doubt has something to do with something sold on SR that isn't
coupons. (jk BB unless it's true) He reminds me of someone, I just
can't quite put my finger on it yet.
Maybe when I get caught up
and ahead of the game again, I'll focus some attention on creating a
private forum for us where we can have certain conversations that we
don't want on the public review thread. This thread here should remain
for reviews, tips, advice, experiences, etc... but there is certainly
some high level detailed conversations I wish we could have as a group
in a more private setting.

Bitbets and Handsoap Karma'd UP+1
now you're even bro......stay in line ho. LOL,I just listened to some mystikal sorry.
PEACE
-
HAHA imagining Shrek listening to Mystikal. Mystikal's Ghetto
Fabulous is the only CD I have ever owned in my life. I found it on the
ground at a gas station (never paid for a fucking CD).
The last album I actually purchased was 2pac's Me Against the World on cassette.
I've
never been the type of person who would pay for something if he didn't
have to. If only we didn't have to deal with the scum around here,
imagine how far progressed we would be. My time wasted = money lost for
all of us.
-
Sorry to hear about your recent bad luck Lotus, hope it all changes soon you deserve it!
to
clarify: They did NOT use fraudulent coupons They DID however brag
about matching UPC for ex. a coupon for 24pk works on a 12 pack or even a
2pk with the same UPC. While folks using your AMAZING products have a
wide range of plausible deniability, it was easy to prove intent when
ignoring the item description.
It was just a friendly warning
along with my honest opinion. After all your coupons are almost never
count specific and if they are it's for the smallest pack.
All
of us should do what we feel like with these but I would hate for a
newbie to get the impression that you can walk into ANY grocer and walk
out with groceries and cash.. so @Dev, no hard feelings do your
thing I wasn't telling you don't do it I was just sharing info and tell
your bodyguard to back off LOL
Ha!
No worries man, I have done plenty of reading and trial&error, but I
hear what you're saying and this is NOT a tactic I use regularly. I'm
very consistent in my success with the OC, and I admit this particular
strategy was not the most sound (kinda figured it wasn't before I even
tried), but if we don't take a chance every now and then, we really
don't stand a chance in life ;)
In terms of overage....there are
quite a few users here who use it, and I think there's a pretty easy
way to get away with it. Buy a lot of shit so the overage coupons go
better unnoticed. My problem was that I tried only buying a few items
with overage, and that caused some red flags. There was no
suspicion of "fraud" that I could see, the reason I was "officially"
rejected in this case was just a matter of "we don't accept internet
coupons without that extra bar-code".
On the other hand, at a
different WM, I used some overage + coupons to bring my $42 bill down to
$0.86. The cashier nearly had a shit-fit, but it was all smiles! She
congratulated me on my frugality.
Thanks for the kind words GL
The
other thing I'm going to do when I do bulk shopping is buy items
specifically to get overage credit, and those items will go straight to
one of the local charitable donation centers in town. Yes....it is
possible to play the role of Robin Hood without robbing taxpayers.
-
I think this has been mentioned on the topic of overage...
But
the observation I've made at WM concerning coupons that are larger in
amount than the product....the system simply asks the cashier to verify
the coupon amount. This can be problematic if you only have a few items,
but if you get a lot of items and hand the cashier a stack of coupons
after all your items are bagged up and carted, the chances that they'll
go back and check the actual item is slim in my experience, they simply
verify the coupon amount.
Case and point: Fancy Feast $10 has
always worked for me (when I buy a lot of items) whether I get the 24pk
or the 12pk of the more expensive variety....The only exceptions being
the 2 times I attempted to use the coupon on the 12pk while only getting
a few items. Does that make sense?
-
The OC is still kicking ass for me! I have saved more money than I
care to admit in the almost year I been at this. This is the best
product I have ever purchased. I saved about 1000.00 in the last month
alone. Thanks GL and PL and all of you in the community that make it a
better safer place for us all to do this. Good Karma to all of you!

im attempting my first try on the lessons and i had a few Q's...is

We are in complete agreement
My
previous post i mentioned overage in a sense of walking out with cash
back but also referring to the fact that overages in general aren't
accepted in most stores and one should know the policy of each store
they walk into.
In those few chains that do allow overages, it's a
great way to subsidize a cart with non coupon items. I also prefer to
stick to the described items (or coupons that mention ANY) ex. bic,
batteries etc.
And of course I agree with everyone here when they say this is the best purchase they ever made

Things
have gotten insane as I was holding a bunch of messages left as unread
so I could hand out accounts and then I had my accident which made it
impossible even to sit at a computer longer than 5 minutes at a time for
a few days. Now I'm finally able to get around and use a computer with
the help of some pain meds.
If I somehow missed a message from
you, please resend it so I can address your questions. Sorry if this was
the case bud. Part of the listing is that I guarantee you will make
successfully working coupons or your money is refunded in full. Just hit
me up and I will do whatever it takes to get you to success.
GL
***PL
secret confession: before I became a vendor on SilkRoad I would use a
$7 off Beef Jerky coupon where I would fill my cart up with 10 bags of
$5 beef jerky and one case of beer. This left me with a ton of beef
jerky and a free case of beer. This was extremely stupid of me but never
gave me an issue. I had knocked that off a long time ago, and since
finding the Road I have developed a long list of Dos and Do Nots. Please
no one try that at home.***

Thanks TFB! I dropped some jewels on him too. Hopefully we get to
see some solid work from him soon. The Coupon Lessons from PurpleLotus
never disappoint, if they ever did, it would be a full refund even if
the person finalized a long time ago.
@HEATFan: I know you aren't reading this right now, but I'm pulling for you hard over here bud!
-
Customer service is awesome around here! thanks GL, T4B ...the
lessons are very easy to follow and the Question i had was taken care of
fast! looking forward to giving this one a try soon! I can see how this
could get addicting !!!
i hope the lottery sticks around, i might need to submit some soon....
to any one thinking about grabbing the lessons up, stop thinking about it and take the plunge....well worth it!
thanks again GL and T4B

Finally back in the game with a small run at the T, I forgot how good it feels.
The
wife isn't a fan, and now that she is home all the time I never get any
time to print these damn things, let alone make my own.
I'll make her a convert yet

Man I have limited time now to check the boards. GL are you giving
out the user names to us now or the new customers first? Not trying to
rush you just wanted to know when us established people will receive
them for the OC. Still doing well with the OC and saving a lot of money.
Thank you for your service to us!
T4B I do not know how to send anonymous files through Tor mail. So If you can help with that, I have a bout 10 I can send you.

Just bought the original collection and am ITCHING to try it out to
say the least. Even more excited for the other collections once I
can get my sticky fingers on them. :)
-
Anyone else having issues with the Jack links $6.00 coupon? I've had
success using it in the past but on my last few runs to Target it comes
up as invalid in their system, even when scanning the long bar code.
I'll try it tomorrow at Walmart and I'm just curious to see if anyone
else has had any issues with it.
-
Patiently waiting on my bitcoin purchase so that I can buy the
OC. I doubt that I will ever do any of the hardcore stuff, but
this collection could mean be a big deal to this poor college student!
I've
heard people say not to use self checkout and then others say that they
do. What are the opinions of the seasoned vets and why/why not?
Thanks all and I can't wait to be a part of this community, possibly learning to make some "coupon art" of my own. :)
-
Just wanted to drop by I haven't been on in what seems like
forever...missed out on any potential drama but things seem cool right
now so let's keep the good vibes flowing the rest of the year?
Oh
and anyone who is thinking about buying the coups don't be a moron -
GET THEM NOW! Thanks again for saving some families from really fucking
hard times. +1million karma.

Welcome,
Bobby....It will be the best purchase you ever make...I came for the
drugs and stayed for the coupons...and this community rocks...it seems
to be one of the fastest updating threads with the some of the best
personalities on SRF....I've had success at Uscans and I've also been
denied...meijers is the easiest IMO because they don't have to verify
the coupons; you just insert them to a collector. I dont have a WM with a
uscan near me but they do work on WM's...there are specifics that
someone else might be able to provide about coupon limits on uscans vs
regular lines.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Unfortunately,
although the usernames are created and ready for distribution, there
was a bug found very early on that forced me to have to fix it. It's not
yet been resolved. For as well as I did putting it all together having
known nothing about making a website, it still has an issue where
downloads time out and I have no real clue how to address it so I'm just
trying my best.
When accounts are ready to go out, they will go
to new customers first but they will go out to everyone else I could
possibly contact within the same sitting, so chances are whoever wakes
up first will have an account first. For now, I am back to the drawing
board while seeking out options which may be more professional than I
envisioned and saw myself capable of doing.

Welcome
to the greatest obsession you'll ever love, Bobby. I've been at it
since the first of the year and have saved thousands and thousands. It
seems to be best to start out slowly, using only a couple or three
relatively low-value coupons, maybe under $5 apiece, and progress to
larger amount as you gain confidence.
The SC can be a useful tool
when you start out, getting you over any reluctance to deal with with a
real cashier in a face-to-face transaction. You'll probably soon enough
leave the SC behind, though, and move to using real cashiers only. The
SC usually involves dealing with the SC attendant, anyway, as the
self-checkout process often requires manual intervention to keep things
moving.
That can mean that you have an easier time with the SC
attendant, as s/he is distracted by having to deal with other people
using SC at the same time. S/he is expecting people to have problems,
and s/he is more oriented to just entering whatever code is needed to
get customers out the door.
But many of those problems are just
part of the self-checkout process and you can leave them behind, hand
your coupons to a live cashier, chat hir up about the weather and be out
the door that much faster. Also, in my experience at least, WM SC
allows only $25 worth of coupons per transaction, whereas you can pass
$50 worth of coupons with a live cashier, before a manager's approval is
required.
The only use I have for the SC currently is for
giftcard coupons, which SOME WM SC's allow to pass w/o human
intervention. But I remember just a few short months ago (wow),
tentatively passing a GL coupon for the first time at a WM SC. The
surprise and elation I felt then is making me smile now.
I
routinely now get as close as I can to the $50 total coupon limit on
each trip to WM. If it's in a location where I feel comfortable, I'll
have the cashier split my purchases into two transactions, so I can pass
up to $100 worth of coupons w/o a manager's approval. You'll be doing
that or better before you know it, Bobby.
tl;dr
The total coupon limit at WM SC appears to be $25/transaction.
Live cashiers can accept $50 worth of coupons/trans.
(The right kind of) Cashiers (80-90%) are easily distracted and are easier than the self-checkout.
Have fun!
-
I hadn't even noticed, we made it to 100 pages again!

Yeah 100!!!!
I hit everyone I recognize with a +1
TFB and GL for obvious reasons,you guys are cool as fuck.
Peace

I'm happy I could help you reach that mark. ;)

Welcome Bobby! We are always glad to have new customers join in on
the forums. It's the coupons we all have in common, but it's the forum
thread that make many of us feel more like a family, community, crew of
friends, however you want to word it where you are from...
Coupon News:
So
I have scratched the new distribution method as a solo project, it was
WAY to time consuming for me dealing with something I knew 0 about and
even my finished product which made me very proud, had a bug exposed
real quick and I just have to admit my time is better spent on other
things and that professional help is going to be the best way for the
new system to be in place. Don't worry, no speech required about
"security" this individual will only be making the scripts I need to
function and will never know what my intent or purpose is for, it's a
personal friend who is professional and just like the stories we tell
cashiers, I very much have an explanation for what I need the work done
for, but it's complete bogus. And with this kind of assistance I will be
able to push things way beyond what I ever considered myself capable of
on my own. I can handle the design and HTML coding ymself, I just need
someone to make these PHP scripts and make them really well and that
process is going now and it's rather simple so ti should be cranked out
pretty fast.
Business is open and we are filling new orders as always.
I
now have a little bit of room to take some deep breathes... and no
longer focus on the nonsense and can put my focus back on what I do best
here. Some really exciting concepts in the works and I think the next
few months will be very exciting and with newer features and angles that
take us away from business as we have grown to expect it in a great
way. Besides new ideas for coupons and changes to those coupons, I also
have a hand full of ideas that are completely new compared to what we
have been doing just buying these packs. The more opinions I get, the
better I understand what people want and what my best direction is going
to be. Feel free to PM me or hit me up on torchat at ubfreap4qavd4j5g.
It's not always something I want to turn into a whole forum discussion.
As
far as my health is concerned with my recent injuries... All is well,
it gets better everyday, just going to be a bit of a lengthy healing
process but it should not intrude on my SR obligations at all at this
point.
More new to come,
GL

I just wanted to send out a big fucking hello and I love you to
everyone here. The community has been kinda quiet recently. Shrek, VISA,

The keureg UPC codes have changed...thankfully I was able to find one with the old UPC code.
WM had issue with the captain crunch, but put it through. The UPC codes were the same.
I'm not sure where I got the enfamil coupon, but the UPC code does not match.
Anyways,
make sure to always have enough cash in case you mindlessly add
something to the cart. I went over and had to pay with my debit
card. I froze up and didn't know what to do....I forgot that I
added a non coupon item to my cart and couldn't figure out that was what
I could have given up.
How much should I worry about that and
are there any precautions I should take? This is my home town WM
and I've made many coupon trips.....

wouldn't worry too much about that...I had to use my debit card before

been backcharged or questioned or had any problems since...If you do it
once, I'd say you still have deniability in that someone gave them to
you or you found them in the store or something like that....Make a
habbit out of it and you're guarenteed to get noticed over time...

Dont get mad but is this Purplelotus page? I paid for his listings
and did get my money back easy but not to long after that hes gone...
Sorry for being so late about it.. Don't get on much. Thx

Hello
htown. PurpleLotus had to bow out for circumstances beyond his control.
GoldenLotus has taken over his business and should be able to help you
with anything you need. The products have been re-listed under his name
and if you still are interested you can buy them without worry.
This all happened nearly 3 months ago. Hopefully you log on more often than that or we won't be able to help you very well.
-
I find it kind of funny that having bought drugs on SR multiple
times, that I am more anxious to get my hands on these coupons. I
keep refreshing SR hoping that I have something ready for me. lol
It is like Christmas! :P

Hey thanks.
ANOTHER
stupid thing today happened. I know I shouldn't be so paranoid
about stuff, but I like to do all my transactions in cash.....BUT yet
another thing I did today was I had my customer advantage card on my key
chain (visible as I pulled out my wallet) and the lady snatched it up
like it was gold. I find that the cashiers always seem way too
happy to get a discount card out of you which makes me think they are
after my info.

I can actually make my own coupons but this still seems like a sweet
deal since your's have a good track record. If I can remember to pick
up a printer one of these days I'll probably grab your entry collection -
fuck paying for food.
-
You had asked me to happydude1, remember? I dont know how to attach the coupons I made to a file anonymously. Guess you forgot?
Submit
any submissions for the submission lottery to GoldenLotus. If you want
to share anything with me privately just attach it to a Tormail message
and I will check it out.
-
Thanks bro.
-
Is the HC link down still/moved or is that one staying down until
the login stuff gets worked out? I just checked the link I had
from a while back and it's just an update from a couple weeks ago saying
it'll be back up in a few days, no rush just curious.
-
Checking in!
Banged everyone with good +KARMA from post #1140 to
#1506 and -1 discourage... Hope you get well GL, and drink that
damn TAZO tea bro...
Just did a small $100 trip last week. I am prepared for this upcoming weekend.. ;)

Going on my first couponing trip tomorrow. I am going to keep
it simple with just 2-3 coupons. Just one question first.
I
did a little scouting as I was waiting for my BTC purchase to go
through and grabbed some UPCs from items I might want to purchase.
Now that I have the coupons I see that the first 5 digits match, but
not the last digits on the smaller coupon UPC. Is that an issue?
Thanks for helping the noob!

No. If the first 5 digits match the coupon should work. The last 5 are for something else.

its so hard to keep up with all these posts checking them a couple
times a week. anyways wanna report over $500 in savings this week
between me, my roommate, and my roommates gf (who is fucking hot). did
all over our work at walmart. also, i read someone earlier who mentioned
getting overages with large purchases and i completely agree. my go-to
coupon is the bounty coupon. as soon as bitinstant comes through, i'm
getting the lessons and another oz from 420BM. also does anyone here
know of any good ecstasy vendors on here?
-
tried to pass a horizon milk coupon through a small chain today...no
luck. She even scanned it through (it rang up correctly) and
promptly ran to a manager. She looked disappointed for me, but
said the manager told her that it wasn't an internet coupon, that it was
a copy of a coupon.
I said how could it be a copy if I printed it off the internet lol. and w-e.
WM does pass it through, although I tried to spread the love around.
-
On another note, I finally successfully used T4B's McDonald's
coupon! AFter 6 failed attempts, I finally got it to work!!! Thanks T4B!
-
Feel Better GL!
Really hope to get my login info or w/e soon... last camel being smoked now...
I seriously couldn't get by w/o these coupons so Pl/GL have been literal lifesavers for me this past year!
Has
anyone got the Starbucks giftcard to work? I got denied
everywhere I tried.. is it a coup issue or some other kind or store
issue?

I
think I passed my 100 mark on McDonald's coupons and have only been
turned down once, before I fixed a major problem with it. I can't
imagine what you must be doing wrong to fail so many times..
I
pushed a little harder this time and went inside instead of through the
drivethru. all the managers have told me the fine print isnt legible
enough but i finally got it to work. I think next time i try through the
drive thru, I'll make a big deal and hold the line up so they'll just
give it to me to get me out of the way
-
Where is this McD's coup? I would love some free fast food

It is in the submission lottery collection, but it is set to expire in 7 days. I will be updating it before then.

@Bitbets: My Kuerig coupons is desgiend exactly like my HP ink
coupons. These two do NOT have to match the UPCs (since kuerig and hp
both put different UPCs on every different thing). So the rule of UPC
matching does not apply and it should work for any Kuerig K-Cups just
like the HP Ink should work with any HP Ink. I only use this method when
I find situations like this. This method works great for both of these
items, unfortunately I have not found a functional method to apply it to
VISA giftcards HAHA.
Also there was an error made and two
Horizon coupons were added into the last set of updates on accident. One
of them does not work, it's the one called Horizon and has two cartons
in the picture. The one with only one carton in the picture is the one
with no issues.
As we can see, expiration updates are going to be
coming up pretty soon. I'm going to use this opportunity to do some
serious cleanup and organization. I guess when I started I did not
really plan for the way things would scale a year later. Now we are
dealing with hundreds and hundreds of coupons.

has anyone tried to use the naked juice/smoothie drink coupon
lately? I used it the other day, it says on the coupon $2.75 off
but it rang up as $3.25 off. I am not complaining or anything cuz
it worked the cashier just had to push it through. It almost
didn't work, but I guess if you are going to be updating the expiration
dates and also doing cleanup I figured I would put this out there.
I guess either update the coding so it is for $2.75 off or change the
wording on the coupon to say $3.25 off.
also, how do you guys
check your balances on GC? There are a few stores that print the
remaining GC balances on the receipts but some do not.
-
on a side note, I guess once I take the coupon making lessons I
could fix this issue myself!!! I need to get some more coin ASAP.
-
Newbie here. Just got to 50 post. These coupons have saved me a lot
of money and this was my first purchase on SR and I eneded up getting
all the packs except the coupon making lessons just as a thank you to
GL.
I will get the lessons later down the road. Thanks everyone!!!

I
noticed the same thing, I think. Again, it caused no problems, even
though it was well over the purchase price for the "pints" I was buying
and just saved/made me another half-dollar per item. Even the lifer
cashiers won't notice that, usually. As has been noted, the "observant"
ones bitch about your purchase not being a pizza, like on the coupons or
some such.
Look on the back of the gift card, if you haven't
already, for a website where you can check your balance. The V and some
of the gas card sites seem to work fine with TOR, though proxies are
probably overkill. I've never had a V or any giftcard deactivated, and
I've had some for months before using.

Has

That's
my go-to gc for those magic WM SC. Works every time. (Wish that they
served real food at those places. I mainly use them like a free
convenience store for Refreshers, water, etc., while I'll return an
empty bag for a free cup o' Joe. Remember to tip and give a few of your
saved bucks to the homeless.)
At WM, I think the corral-style
self-checkouts, arranged in a rectangle with eight registers, have the
enchanted POS w/o all the bitch-ass coupon challenges. Scan card,
swipe-to-activate, scan coupon and you're out the door in seconds, while
the overwhelmed attendant deals w/ all the other People of WM.
That's
the only way I do gc at WM anymore, mainly just because they treat
everybody like shit - employees, legit customers, Willie the Pimp, etc.
-
I know this has been covered before but now its more relevant
because I just bought the lessons. What is the best app (iOS and Android
suggestions) paid or free for scanning both UPC and databars? Also,
getting close to the magical 100 posts!
-
Coupon Decoder from iTunes is by far the superior app... it's $.99
Someone
remind me which collection and which file the Naked juice coupon is in
so I can personally look into it. After hundreds and hundreds of
coupons, I lose track in my head and currently don't have them in front
of me.
Abbie Hoffman just gave up one of the best kept secrets of
the Not Free collection. Even I was keeping my mouth closed on that
one. Didn't want things to just get out of hand. But, hey!!! I'm glad
someone said it. :-)
+1 to tango, but only because I see he's about to be able to give it back... damn I'm selfish! :-P
Welcome
cooltor! Man, I wish the 50 post rule never existed. I am about to
create a newbie GoldenLotus review thread to help other customers get up
to 50 and give us an outlet to discuss and review coupons for those who
can't here.

Thanks GL. The crest mouthwash coupon does not scan anymore at WM
and other local retailers. Windex electronic wipes does not scan at WM
but still works at target.
I will be updating on more coupons soon!
That will be a terrific idea. A newbie discussion thread!

Crest mouth wash works fine for me... but here is the situation.
Some Walmarts are just straight up having issues with coupons so you'll
find coupons work or don't work and it makes no sense, and so just don't
go to that Walmart anymore. It seems to happen to us in rashes and the
thing about it, if you talk to an employee about it, is that is has
nothing to do at all with my coupons and is effecting coupons in general
and causing issues with some kind of system upgrade. You can even
google it and likely find a bunch of complaints from real customers with
real coupons with the exact same issue. So just be aware of this when
dealing with Walmart and if it becomes an issue for you, then stop using
the Walmart because it's out of my control.
The Not Free
Collection... this collection was made due to a large amount of requests
for a shift from "FREE" giftcards to a format of $20 off a $25 giftcard
and $40 off a $50 giftcard... so this lead to the new Not Free
Collection which can be found here:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/4703e53a33
-
Are the expiration dates hardcoded into the GS1? The BK coupons and a
bunch of the others from the HC pack are expired, at least the human
readable EXP.
-
The free Ipod coupon was not taken by Radio Shack. The
employee at the desk went to the back room and called a manager to see
what to do, and the manager said the store policy was not to accept free
coupons.
Any suggestions on a laser-jet printer that does the coupons perfectly with price of ink in mind?

were still up? I reformatted and I'm taking a trip this weekend to do

The Naked juice coupon in question is from the Advanced Collection, file #5 - the same file w/ the dick stretcher coup.
And,
GL, are you referring to the Willie the Pimp coupon, $25 off any $50
ho, in the Not Free! Collection? :P How are you gonna keep that a
secret, once us couponers get a taste of runaway pussy? ;D

any good experiences with the advanced collection?

YEs, there have been many good experiences with the AC. Some people
do better with the AC and others do better with the Not Free. It is
personal preference, but with the amount of money most of us are saving,
there shouldn't be any reason not to own them both.

Is the Hardcore pack link supposed to be down or I am missing something? Thanks in advance!

There isn't. buy them all and don't forget to tip

So I've been looking for a listing of walmarts with self checkouts,
none of the ones near me seem to have them. What I found was a listing
of "scan and go" locations. Since this program seems to require a self
checkout lane, it is safe to assume all the locations listed in the pdf
have a self checkout.
Hopefully this doesn't include ALL the self checkout locations as there are NONE listed in my state
*clearnet warning*

Also just read here: *clearnet*
http://www.ncr.com/newsroom/resources/ncr-to-install-10-000-self-checkout-devices-at-more-than-1-200-walmart-locations
that walmart will be adding self checkouts to 1200 more stores this
year, hopefully one is near me

Good research sumting!
Can you copy and paste the PDF here so
it doesnt get downloaded x50 more than it should in a certain day? I'm
sure no one would notice, but still...
Thanks ;)

Hey gang,
Been lurking in this thread for a month or
two. Finally got a little extra cash to pick up some btc.
Any drugs on my wishlist can wait. I got 2 of the 4 coupon packs
for now. I figure the money I'll save will pay for my various SR
libations.
I guess you could start a second forum
in the newbie section, but it really isn't necessary. There are
enough threads devoted to spamming your way to 50. I made about 15
legitimate posts over the last couple months in there, then when I was
ready to join the action (GL thread first and foremost), I spammed the
rest of the way to 50. Only took 20 minutes.
Glad to be aboard. :D

For those of us that don't use an iphone, "Coupon
Decoder" isn't available for Android devices. I already checked
into it a couple weeks ago. The developers from the site say they
are working on it. They do have email notification when the ap
becomes available. Just sign up. That's what I did.
-
any good experiences with the advanced collection?
I've
picked up a $25 and another $50 free gas card, both at (different) K.
The GoGo applesauce and the aforementioned Naked are frequently used by
me - the little ones love the stuff.
And I've picked up two each of
the $25 and $50 TJ GCs, from OMx and
metal-paper-fastener-office-supply-store. One per store location, with
maybe a 2/3 success rate.
I really want to get that mobile hotspot. Anybody done that?
-
I haven't checked in for a while, cause I got them saved on the comp.
But...
I just went to check the OC Link, and got the PL's error message.
So whats good?
Its been down for long time now....
Coupons are about to expire in 19 days...
and I need them coupons now.
Any good news guys?
Thanks,
-
i just made a run today with the first 5 coupons i've made from the
lessons. they worked like a charm through self checkout. I can
definitely see this getting addicting...
-
Has anyone else been getting price prompt screens with the AC? It
doesn't happen consistently, but when the supervisor decides to come
over and do it manually instead of from his station it makes it a bit
more nerve wracking.

Have a few questions.
Went to WM and tried to pass a 25 gift
certificate for chipolte from the AC pack. The coupon scanned (dont know
if it deducted anything) but a manager was overlooking the transaction
and said he could not accept the coupon.
1. would self checkout be easier in this situation?
2. does the second row of numbers on the UPC have to match the item im buying?
3. how much does the size of the coupon play in the determining if the coupon is legit when the cashier looks over it?
-
also, is there anyone i can PM about tips on doing this?
-
Tried a 20 off 25 amazon GC at walgreens and it scanned but nothing
was deduced.. ???. Perhaps they've tweaked their system to deny
any coupons on GCs..

God-Damn,
@ssh*le manager! Doesn't that just make you wanna drop to your knees,
wailing "but it SCANNED, IT FUCKING SCANNED, listen to the MACHINE, YOU
FUCKING BITCH! It's making happy beeps. It don't got no problem with the
authentic-looking codes on my fake coupons, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING
PROBLEM BIIIIITTTTCCCCCHHHHHHH!"
I imagine that Shrek would rip the register out of the floor and crush the asshole manger with it.
But
that's probably not the best response for the sensible couponer. Some
days you get the bear, some days the free bear coupon gets rejected.
Calm your outrage by telling yourself that the suspicious manager will
be one of the ones that resists, when Skynet achieves self-awareness and
tries to subjugate Humanity. Or his kind may be more likely to survive
the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.
Gotta see Walking Dead. Oh yeah,
1.
SC tends to have one of the lower-ranking cashiers, but I've also seen
managers hovering around SC. SC is also more closely scrutinized by LP,
as some people try to only pretend to scan items. PROFILE YOUR CASHIER.
Avoid managers, but do not fear them. (But, do deny them your essence,
Mandrake.)
2. No
3. Print 3 or 4 coups to a letter-sized page, so
that each is about the size of paper currency. That probably does
influence what the average cashier sub-consciously perceives as
being legit. Some cashiers I've had were so doped up on pills, though,
that I could have paid with Monopoly money.
Just Use the Force or flash your tits, if you got 'em.

Hey what's goin on everyone, I'm new to SR. Fresh out the newbie
forum ;D I originally came to consider buying drugs, but this,
this is 10x better! I have a few questions though and would like some
tips.
If there is some sort of FAQ or something along the lines, can
someone direct me there? for now I'll ask you guys before I go buy BTC
and make my first purchase.
How do you use the coupons at places without self-checkout? Don't the employees get suspicious or anything?
Also
I understand I have to buy the OC first, but in other collections I see
FREE GIFT CARD coupons. Do you grab say "said $50 GC" and give the
coupon to the cashier and they won't say anything?
Thanks for any advice! Anxious to try this.

How do you use the coupons at places without self-checkout? Don't the employees get suspicious or anything?
After
using them on hundreds of occasions, I can state that 90% of the time,
maybe surprisingly, the coupons arouse absolutely no suspicion at all.
The 10% of the time that the cashiers actually bother to read the
coupon, their suspicion is erased 90% of the time when the coupon scans.
It is the rare exception - under 1% - when the cashier or manager
displays any independence of thought and rejects a coupon that scans
(and they nearly always scan. I mean always, unless that particular
coupon and/or store combination has an issue, which seems to be again,
not much more than 1% of the coupons.) More often, the cashier and even
manager will manually enter anything that won't scan or override any
kind of POS challenge. Their fingers are a blur, as they enter their
override code, because they are so well-practised by its constant use.
Profile
your cashier. Look for the young and, to some extent, inexperienced.
You want people with weeks-to-months of experience. You don't want
newbies that don't know how to run the register w/o a manager
wet-nursing them frequently. And you don't want lifers, that may have
actually heard of coupon abuse or are just going to be more circumspect
about any higher-value coupon.
Look for cashiers that seem bored
or already distracted by conversations w/ neighboring cashiers. The
standard advice is to stick to the big 3: WM, Targ and the K. But plenty
of regional chains will take these coupons. I passed over $20 worth of
coupons at a Kroger recently and they're supposed to be assholes.
Start
small, w/ one-to-three under-$5 coupons and start using more as you
gain confidence. If you get rejected, just keep trying. Stay
good-natured about it. Don't worry about law enforcement or even loss
prevention confronting you. Store employees would be crazy to do more
than politely explain that they can't accept the coupons. Even this is
rare, in my experience and that of most others. In every case this ever
happened to me, even w/ HC coupons, THE EMPLOYEE NEVER MADE EYE CONTACT
WITH ME or if they did it was for only a fleeting instant. (The old lady
lifers have to give you a disapproving look - it's hard-wired.) They
mostly expect that you will be pissed off about being rejected and they
just want you to leave.
Go on a weekend afternoon or weekday
evening, during or right after rush hour. Look nice, smell nice, act
nice, pick the right cashier, chat hir up about the weather, her
earrings, w/e. If you get rejected, then try, try again someplace else,
or at a different location or at the same store on a different day or
time of day.
Believe.

asdfqwertyzxcv for being new and to get him off of 0 karma, and abbie
cause i imagine her being a milf. w00t!
Abbie Hoffman is a man. If you don't know who his nickname is a tribute to, you should read about him.
I am a non-person, like anyone w/o wealth, in this Orwellian dystopia of a rat-race society.
Again, THANK YOU GOLDEN LOTUS, for providing me w/ the means of survival for my family as well as myself.
Fuck With The Establishment!

Thanks
for the advice! I edited my last post to include the question about
free gift cards. or other free items at that. How do you manage these?
also, do any of these coupons work online?
Gift
cards are more hardcore and it's best if you have some sort of
back-story about a defective product from the same company that the
coupon is for, or you won a lottery for the gift card or filled out a
survey, etc. Thicker, glossy paper stock seems to look more authentic. A
company logo printed on the back really does seem to sell these.
Though
these coupons don't work online, you can use them to get a giftcard,
which you then can use for online purchases at some stores.
I
would strongly urge you to get your feet wet with the grocery coupons
first, and then move on to the $10 or $15 Giftcards before you try
anything pricier. You'll be more relaxed and more believable and have a
higher success rate.

ahhh
I see, yeah given that I'd have to buy the OC first, I'd pretty much
have no choice but to go for only groceries (which I absolutely don't
mind!) So when paying you just hand the cashier a bunch of printed
coupons as if it were normal? If I were to continue doing this would it
mean I have to go to numerous stores in order to not be suspicious?
I
have a "Neighborhood Market" WalMart right by my house and I constantly
go there, they have self check-out, but in the event that I go to buy
all my groceries at once, would it be wise to bring a bunch of coupons?
also should I limit the coupon use here to about once a month? or should
I just avoid it here altogether since they pretty much know me?

I
personally would only use coupons at my "neighborhood" store as a last
resort. My MO is to cycle through a dozen or more WMs and a half-dozen
Ts, along w/ mixing in some Pbx and a dozen or so locations of three or
more different regional chains. I rarely ever visit the same store twice
in a month, but I try to pass $50-$100 worth of coupons w/ every visit,
paying about 20% of the total cost w/ tax. None of these stores are in
the same county where I reside, but then not much is in my home county.
Typically,
I'd aim to walk out of a WM w/ about $125 worth of groceries, having
paid less than $25. For completeness (of retail exploitation), I really
prefer to pay with a free V card. (I just love being able to turn one of
those into $500 worth of free groceries - or 500 miles of free gas. My
fucking God, this is The Life!)
The only real exception for me is
a WM w/ an enchanted SC - the kind I can score a GC from w/o any human
approval required. I figure since I'm in-and-out of those in three or
four minutes, I can go every week or maybe more w/o being noticed.

Nice! being a broke college student, this would be a lifesaver! What doe you mean by free V card? Visa?
Yeah
I'm sure for snacks and such I'd have no problem at the SC of my local
Neighborhood WM. Btw I forgot to ask, is it confirmed that these coupons
work at Neighborhood Market WM's?

Oh
yes, it's the rare GL coupon that has a problem anywhere, let alone at
WM. You could always encounter an isolated store w/ a dick manager and
anti-coupon policies, but I doubt that will happen.
As for
self-checkout, I'd pass it by if you have more than a couple or three
items. Loss Prevention zeroes in on SC, because shoplifters abuse the
hell out of it. Really, just get comfortable w/ a real cashier, PROFILE,
and let hir do all the work.
And don't worry about a V card for
now. Or maybe you can buy the Not Free! Collection and try a $20 off $25
V - once you're comfortable passing about that amount in grocery
coupons. You really can act more and more miserly, as you get proficient
with this. But, you may need to spend a few - and I do mean a very few -
dollars initially. Even so, it's funny how quickly you'll get used to
thinking of $10-$20 as a "normal" amount to spend for your grocery run,
and that's with as much as $100 worth of groceries per haul.
It's
really profound how your grocery budget dwindles to practically pocket
change - or less. I almost feel that you're going to be cheated of that
sensation, if you haven't spent years paying hundreds and hundreds of
dollars for food each month. You're apt to get a skewd, absurdly
under-valued idea of how much you should be spending on groceries. If
you ever stop using GL's coupons, you're in for a rude awakening - food
costs a lot w/o these coupons!

okay, SC tip noted.
I'll definitely try and keep my head straight, after all, one doesn't simply forget the hardships we've been through.
I'm
a little nervous about it tbh, I've never even stolen anything in my
life. But then I remember, 1. I'm not really stealing, just giving
myself a good discount :) and 2. These institutions aren't quite the
honest fellows themselves.
Are these coupons exclusively for WM,T's, K's, and WG's? or what other stores are they valid for?
-
Are these coupons exclusively for WM,T's, K's, and WG's? or what other stores are they valid for?
These
coupons are good for any store which has a policy that allows online
coupons... They are not made specifically for any store, they are made
specifically for the manufacturer of the item you are buying, Honestly,
if you can get the cashier to scan the coupon and you have any item, not
even the one written or pictured on the coupon, as long as it is by the
same manufacturer, it will work for you. (Unless there is something
funny and they have different Manufacturer IDs on different items, but
this is pretty rare.)
-
If anyone has an issue with coming back recently and being unsure of
where the coupons are hosted.... the only way to fix this is to message
me personally. Asking the forums is not going to give you the answer
you need. I am currently back to atleast answering my messages once a
day after being in an accident. I'm still in pain more than I would like
to be, so that limits my desk time significantly when you consider how
active I generally am, but just hit me up and I'll get you straight.
Good
luck to everyone this weekend! I am going take a trip to test out some
new, never before seen coupons. If all goes well, I plan to make this
into a set of additions very soon instead of the new collection concept I
had to shift to for a minute because of how bad the switch to GL hurt
PL's sales.
Hve a great weekend!

okay,
thanks! that's awesome, so you can just tell the cashier that the
manufacturer gave you these coupons for "yada yada yada, (insert fake
reason)"?
My understanding is that these coupons DO NOT work
online though right? they are only, as you stated, valid for "any store
which has a policy that allows online coupons?"
-
Q.... I wasn't aware you could print out hi
value coupons legitimately from the internet. How does that
work? Example.. WD hard drive - save $90. Or even $9.50 off a
bottle of Tide. If manufacturers (or their affiliates) actually
have these kinds of coupons available, they'd lose their asses.
Craigslist and ebay would be flooded with products at 50% of
retail. People would do this as a business. But sure enough,
I passed some at WM the other day and the csm asked if they were
internet coupons. Any csm with a lick of sense would wonder how
you can print out your own hi-dollar coupons and pay only 20 cents on
the dollar (or even less). That should be an automatic red
flag. Until they can develop a way for an electronic coupon to
self destruct after its printed exactly one time, I don't see how in the
world this works.
Secondly, I don't see the
point in printing hi-dollar coupons on heavy/glossy card stock paper
(although I did invest in some). If its an internet coupon that
you just printed off, why is it on fancy paper. Who runs that in
their printer other than for specialty purposes. I guess I'm
over-analyzing. I realize when all is said and done, these robots
just want to get to the end of their shift. They could care less
how or why you have them as long as they scan without a hitch or a bitch
- lol (I gotta remember that one).
-
Hey GL,
PL sold me OC and AC and Hardcore, but I've lost my
link. He also sold me coupon making lessons (I was the first
purchaser). But I lost all my links. Can you forward me the
links for everything? I plan on getting any of the new ones once
my coins clear escrow. Thanks for all you do!
-
On
another note, I finally successfully used T4B's McDonald's coupon!
AFter 6 failed attempts, I finally got it to work!!! Thanks T4B!
I
think I passed my 100 mark on McDonald's coupons and have only been
turned down once, before I fixed a major problem with it. I can't
imagine what you must be doing wrong to fail so many times..
I
used my McDonald's I believe had sent it to you. I updated it a little
and Burger king. Had no problems at all even when it looked bad. Saved a
ton with oc. And very glad I bought oc and hc. I bet I saved several
grand since buying them last year. Unreal!
Been using phone but will get the file to you for lottery when I log on with PC. Best investment I ever made!!

Hope you feel better, bro.
Ill message you in a bit.

Well have been staying clear of the Walmart recently just because
they seem to be such a pain in the ass! Today was no different -
gathered a few items and wanted to try the recently updated self check
out in one of our local Walmarts. V8, Milk, Coffee, Cheese, Sour
Cream, Granola Bars, Jiff............ you know simple
things.....:) Milk worked and Sour Cream - V8 and Granola
bars needed a rep override. The Jiff and Coffee were missed
matched and the Rep said oh I cant fix that but you can go to customer
service and they will give you the cash. LOL I decided
to have those items removed.
So had to make up for the bad
experience and visited one of our favorite big bulls eye! And of
course everything scanned no problem all the items plus Ziploc and
tortillas. Total 120.00 for just under 10.00
-

for self-checkout, I'd pass it by if you have more than a couple or
three items. Loss Prevention zeroes in on SC, because shoplifters abuse
the hell out of it. Really, just get comfortable w/ a real cashier,
PROFILE, and let hir do all the work.
Bingo.
Yesterday I was leaving my local WM, past the customer service desk
there was a door that had been left cracked open that I've never noticed
before--me being snoopy as fuck, I got a better look: a man sitting at a
small desk w/4 large monitors each with two of the self checkouts split
on the screen.
I always knew that at this specific store
there was one twenty-something cashier hack watching all the
self-checkout cameras in plainview and another worker who is usually
running around helping w/malfunctions, checking ID's for alcohol, and
whatnot...never had a clue that there was a separate loss prevention (?)
guy actually keeping tabs on that shit in a back room 10 ft away.
I was never a huge fan of using self checkouts at that place anyway,
because it's one of the stores in my area that needs any coupons $5 or
more manually entered, but now I'm using cashiers 100% of the time
there.
-
Self checkout is always a bad idea if you are trying to do OC
shopping. Cashiers are no problem with OC coupons. I think most of us
who love the OC enjoy making trips of over $100 savings in one trip with
a real cashier.
-
I always like to mess with the LP retards at walmart....whenever the
door alarms go off as someone leaves I yell,"RUUUUN,I got your
back!!!!!!!"
If you're not laughing and having a good time in
life(even at other peoples expense,like WM loss prevention) then what
good are you doing yourself.
I tell you,these coupons have made my
ENTIRE viewpoint change in life as I have less worry about feeding my
family,more time to spend with them as a direct result,and find myself
being more charitable than I was before because I actually CAN now.Thank
you lotus from the heart....I'm sure there are DOZENS if not more
people here and related to them in which you have kept them from going
UNDER financially.
I helped organize a birthday party and bought all
of the food and drinks,I spent 90.00. THERE WERE 44 people there and
EVERYONE had their fill and had a great time because of me.Couldn't have
done it without you bro.
PEACE and heal up fast!!!
-
ok!!! here it goes! this is not VISA HATE ! this is his partner in
crime and well what I like to think the Brains of the Operation!
VISA is busy cutting tomorrows coupons and making lists. I kid you
not. Anyway just wanted to give my two cents.
1.
This is my first experience with any type of "underground" forum but I
have to say you are a bunch of the nicest if not a bit over the top :)
group of people I have ever had the pleasure of following. Truly
closer to friends or even family to each other.
2. Lotus you are
brilliant - beyond smart - inventive - etc. etc. Really I
can not say enough good things about you and I truly wish you success
now and in the future. I realize there are several members here
who have helped out quite a bit and a big thank you to you as well.
3.
Enough of the sappy stuff and back to what you all are here for.
The OC is far beyond amazing. Even when generating them ourselves I
rarely have any problems! If I do most are simply overrode by
whatever miserable cashier i have been chatting up at the time.
Target is by far the easiest! Walmart always seems to have an
issue here and there. However I have found that the OC if kept
under $50.00 even at the self check outs work easily. Even if I
need a cashier to come over there is little issue. - Maybe because
I am a girl! lol
4. Seems silly to mention because
its almost a given but K-Cups, Milk, V8, Coffee, Kraft, plus a few of
our own worked this weekend flawless. Had a few issues last night
with Jif and Cafe Bustelo at Walmart which I think Visa already
mentioned. Over all today did $100.00 for $6.00 - lol
And
lastly VISA is far beyond smart, diligent, trustworthy and patient
however he drives me crazy with the security measures when we are
in the store together.... constantly telling me not to look in the
cameras, wear a different shirt oh and parking far enough but not too
far..... lol regardless I know its all with the name of keeping us safe
but man oh man! hahahahaha he sure can be mean!!!
-
Disappointing day...
-
Just a quick question! I have a local WM that the SC is working
flawlessly! Yet when should I call it enough? I've got about 350$ in
AMEX so far and was thinking about hitting it up for another 300$. Or
should I stay low for a few weeks??
-

i'd
recommend staying low so you dont burn it out. its better to be in it
for the long haul. which pack are you using so successfully? share your
story!
-
Well my story is but a sweet short one.
I first got the OC and
have used it all over my area but one Walmart seemed to stand out from
the rest. Surprisingly this the the closest Walmart to my residence.
Once I purchased the AC I used the non GC coupons like crazy and finally one day my wife insisted on trying the GC coupons.
I
printed some off in Black and white due to my color printer sucking
balls at printing a good bar code. I left work and headed straight to my
honey hole and BAM easy walk through the SC. I have repeated this
several times for up to 100$ in AMEX (two 50$ cards in two different
transactions).
Now I'm getting to the point of being nervous about getting more. What point will they start catching on...
It is now time to test out the other 8 WM around me >:)
-
I think most of us try not to return to the same store that we've
used a lot of HC coupons at for at least a few weeks. If you've
used around 10 free GC coupons at the same place I'd start to get a bit
paranoid that someone there will be catching on and *I* would definitely
cut it out for at least a month or two. Better safe than sorry, whether
it's selling drugs, embezzling, etc greed is what gets people busted.
-
I've got nothing but good things to say about Lotus, I've worked
with the original collection from purple lotus. And now having used the
advanced collection , I've got to say I'm a believer.
Went through 2
shift managers and they held up to scrutiny each time, saved over 500$
in a single transaction costing me in the end less than a dollar cause I
wanted to get an iced tea Arizona and even those were on sale.
It's like the windows of heaven have opened and are pouring out free money.
Note:
don't visit the same store location if you have exactly the same
coupon. Maybe change the PIN for the coupon if you want to buy 5 of the
exact same thing? Or just realize variety is a good part of life.
Read
up on local store coupon policies - it took me two tries and talking to
a LPA and an employee to get the inside scoop on free coupons or other
extremely high value ones.
-
I have another question, how are the coupons delivered? Since I
understand you don't have to send GL an encrypted address or anything,
when I make my payment how will I receive the file? Thanks! Awesome
community!

You will receive a link where you will download a few archives (zip files) with the coupons inside.

Quick question for everybody with Kmarts in their area.
I'm going somewhere for the next month that has 2 Kmarts in the area.
I don't have a portable printer though, so I am planning ahead.
On the GCs, what UPC does Kmart use? Also out of all the GCs in the AC and HC which ones are actually at Kmart?
I may get something other than GCs, but this is what I'm wondering about most because of the UPCs.
We need a damn Wiki or something for each store, it's so difficult to go through 100+ forum pages.
-
This is bizarre. Where did PL go?
-
Kmart uses the *6*9* rather than the *76* it's just what is on the barcode needs to match.
-
Finally hit 50 posts! great to finally be able to publicly say THANK
YOU to PL and GL for their wonderful work! Thank you as well to T4B and
all others who contribute to this thread keeping everyone informed.
I'll be sharing my experiences and doing my part to help from now on as
well.
I have been using the OC flawlessly at WM, KM and Target.
I've manage to use the Not Free collection with great success too- I've
scored two hard drives and one Roku! I've also scored countless GC's
using SC even a few using the cashier at WM but while there's several
WM's in the area, there's only one with a SC so I'm going to stay away
from the GC's for a while. I just got the AC and the HC so I'm going to
try for PS3, PS Vita or some Beats headphones soon.
-
Hope GL is doing well and recovering from his injuries. I feel like
its worse than he's letting on since he hasn't been checking in as
often. Get well soon friend!
-
He is probably working on changing all of those expiration dates. I am sure that is a crappy and tedious job.
-
I have a couple of SC experiences using the OC at a couple of Stop
& Shop supermarkets. The first one went flawlessly except for the
machine getting jammed on "coupon into the slot" mode. I guess the bin
was close to empty or the sensor was smudgy or something. The SC
attendant came over blew into the slot a couple of times, dropped a
blank piece of paper in there and the register then was ready to
proceed. She then looked at the screen, saw what the last coupon was-
which happened to be a high dollar variant of some sort- and she just
typed in the amount again and walked away.
Now here's another experience which is why I guess it's always suggested to go through the regular cashier:
At
another Stop & Shop closer to home, I go in strictly for the light
bulbs which again is a high dollar coupon. The machine buckles and asks
for attendant intervention. The attendant takes the coupon from me,
looks it over, shakes her head and calls her supervisor over. He comes
over, looks at the coupon, feels the paper it's printed on (plain paper
color laser printed) shakes his head, then says to her we can't take
this. I say no problem, then they were about to hand me the coupon back
when they had second thoughts and tried to keep it but I had already
reached out and had my grubby fingers on it so they let go. I paid for
the light bulbs in cash and walked out...returned them the next day.
Self
checkout is always a bad idea if you are trying to do OC shopping.
Cashiers are no problem with OC coupons. I think most of us who love the
OC enjoy making trips of over $100 savings in one trip with a real
cashier.

Hey GL,
PL
sold me OC and AC and Hardcore, but I've lost my link. He also
sold me coupon making lessons (I was the first purchaser). But I
lost all my links. Can you forward me the links for
everything? I plan on getting any of the new ones once my coins
clear escrow. Thanks for all you do!
Sorry
I missed this post. Messaging me on SR is the best way to get my
attention. I have to be honest, I am not healing as fast as I wished I
would have been at this point. I cannot sit at the computer for long
periods of time at the moment. I do plan to do full exp updates over the
4th of July holiday and even though I physically have been held back
for a couple weeks, my brain is very much still functioning so I have
some pretty exciting ideas planned out here soon once I get back to full
health.
He is probably working on changing all of those expiration dates. I am sure that is a crappy and tedious job.
Word
man... just having someone acknowledge that makes me feel better. I'm
excited to get it knocked out though so I can move on to my next big
idea. New content is always a joy for me.
Hope
GL is doing well and recovering from his injuries. I feel like its
worse than he's letting on since he hasn't been checking in as often.
Get well soon friend!
That's
correct. Thank you for your patience and understanding. That's pretty
fucking cool to have people treat me the same why I try to treat
everyone else.
I appreciate everyone being so helpful to each
other lately. We have a pretty awesome thing going for us right now, not
only in coupons, but our general community here is fucking awesome.
It's obviously less important to me as a vendor than it would be for
someone who is shipping drugs... but I still would like people who have
questions about delivery to just shoot me a PM. Also, if I didn't say
this already... Advocate... Message me and I got you my dude... I'm a
little slow right now, but I'm generally still answering messages in
less than 24 hours and filling orders as quickly as possible.
If not today then I would expect some announcements coming in the next day or so.

bah I finally crawled out from under the bottle.... how has everyone

for a while and just focused on the oc a lot and filling friends houses
with shit. i did take the actual coupons to the stripclub and tip

told you diaper coupons were milf bait. also, did you notice that your number of posts is 666 right now you demonic bastard?
-
you said milf bait in an aisle of a store. i made it rain
coupons like I was fucking P Diddy of the fucking Coupon world.
lol. in defense of the argument most of the stripper were on
heroin or xanax so anything seemed amazing
-
I'm the P Diddy of the coupon world, and you certainly were not
fucking me... I hope you fucked one of those strippers though. I'm sure
everyone of us was pulling for it. I have a new lotto listing where
whoever can guess the date of wraithe's next STD infection wins the pot
for the month. If no one guesses it right, all the money goes to wraithe
in the form of plan B pills, and now apparently you can just straight
up buy the abortion pills (post plan B options) right here on SilkRoad
too... WTF I support a woman's right to choose what to do with her body,
but if she chooses to use Silk Road as an option...
well, anyways back on topic... rule #3, if wraithe contracts HIV, then I keep the lotto pot for that month.

Wraithe's STD Lottery... I see this being a big thing on SR!

Every bitch I ever spoke to said it was a little thing... but I'm
trying my best to turn it in to a big thing regardless of what bitches
say!

I messaged Goldenlotus because I paid for Purples listings 5ish
months ago and was hoping he would give me the links. I wanted to check a
coupon before buying all of his listings. I HAD proof that I paid for
them and he sent me the links right over. Right now I'm dealing with a
couple shitty ass vendors who don't even respond to their messages. Well
this one does!!! Hes just as nice as I remember Purple being. That
really matters to me!
Anyways I got the links and to my surprise
the coupons are the same! I remember some other coupon guy being
on the road and I guess I thought Golden was like him and was a Purple
wannabee with shitty ass coupons. I'm sorry for thinking that... I never
posted it or anything but still feel bad about just thinking it for
last couple months. I was dead WRONG. My mother finally stopped asking
me for toilet paper and gladbag coupons.(those are her favorite) Well I
got to call her and give her the good news. Its the small things in life
that are great I tell ya.
The bitch from a local gas station
still gives me a eyeball every time I go in there because of the coupons
I used to have. She asked me to pay back $$$ for the Marlboro coupons I
used last time I was in the store because they are fake. I just said ya
no problem and gave her the money. She just wants to fuck me though. I
wish I could ask her BITCH why you always starring at me?? DO YOU WANT
TO FUCK ME, MY CAR OR MY COUPONS??? HAHA thanks again Golden.

Kmart uses the *6*9* rather than the *76* it's just what is on the barcode needs to match.
+1 KARMA for you. I didn't feel like reading through all these pages to try and find it.
-
GL man you're one crazy workhorse. If I had just been in an accident I wouldn't be doing as much work as you have been.
I guess that's what makes you the best vendor I've ever worked with on SR.
-
Update: try not to use too many of the advanced or hardcore coupons all at once...
I saved over $600 in a single purchase, and the store director agreed the were legit but didn't like me after that :)
-
can you give us the name of the store chain ;)

My plan was to do complete expiration updates on
the OC and HC over July 4th..... The bad news is things have
temporarily taken a turn for the worse for me and I can barely even sit
to type this message right now. The good news is that I'm going to be
ok.
Thanks to everyone for being understanding with me this past
week for slower messaging responses. If it's not one problem, it's
another... and almost everyone has been pretty fucking cool with me
lately and given me slack. Just wanted it to be known I very much hope
to have the next set of OC and HC expiration updates finished by the end
of the weekend.
All jokes aside, I don't want to have all of my
stuff smashed into bits just because Shrek woke up without fruttarre
strawberry pops one morning, so there will be updates very soon! Happy
4th of July everyone! I hope it's a great time tomorrow and that I find
myself suddenly in much better form here shortly. There is more good
news, but I'm just going to focus on my health and what the next thing
in front of me is... updates.

Finally.....
After much fanfare and insanity, I have a damn
internet connection. My tour was awesome, to say the least. Got to
GC through over ten states trying new ideas and tactics for the
assclowns who want to piss in my cornflakes. I am exhausted, but will
return tomorrow with news of my latest 2 week escapade. Love,
Karma, Good Health, Good Drinks, and Dabs all around!!!
EDIT: I know this doesn't have anything to do with coupons, but I just have to say...
AMERICA!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!
-
Finally got to 50 (after forgetting the password to my last forums account haha) in order to come here and post.
While
I don't go out and crush it making huge purchases using the OC, I have
to say in a few small runs it's already made plenty of money back. Being
in school, I don't have a whole lot of money, but being able to save
money on basic supplies really helps. Especially when I come back with a
bunch of cleaning supplies so my roommates can't weasel out of helping
me clean! Anyway, this was and probably will be my only purchase on SR,
because there was no way I could've passed this up... so thanks GL! I
hope you heal quickly!
I did want to ask one question. The only
coupon I've run into trouble with so far is the $6.00 Starbucks coupon.
I've had two cashiers question it because the picture is of k-cups while
I was buying beans. The first time I just said it was for any Starbucks
product and she shrugged and let it through. The second time, the
cashier said it was only for the pictured item. After giving her my
story (online survey, customer service survey, complained about a
product, did a focus group, etc.), she still was hesitant, so I just
dropped it and she scanned everything else. Is that just bad luck or
would a new, more generic Starbucks picture work?
-
Get well soon brother!
I wish you good health and fast recovery
from your accident. You are the gift of heaven above! And may he shower
his endless care...
Good +KARMA 99 for you buddy!

@T4B....im curious to what happend dude?
@ wm hard drive...i
notived some one saying they grabbed a couple wm hd...were you get them?
i tried BB but it seems some one in my area has hit them hard and i got
a nice CSM to explain they have been getting alot of free video games (
i almost said cod, hahaha) and ps3's.she said they cant take it unless
it has a verification web site (WE NEED ONE!!!)
Just checking in,
i had a nice little run the other day, i finally found my honey hole
for gc, took a few months but ive got it figured out...i was able to get
4 footlocker gc in 2 days...new shoes are fucking awesome!
im going this weekend to try for some more and a router
happy 4rth every one!
hope you are feelin better GL, enjoy your self this week....
o
also, whats up on a lottery addition? thats my new favorite pack, its
fun to see what everyone can come up with...hope you dont fase it out
-
I have some awesome additions for the submission lottery as soon as
GL gets better. Grand new custom template for GCs that includes a
watermark page to print on the back. I got $200 dollars worth of gift
cards in one transaction on the first day of using it at the bulls eye.
$300 overall and i was 3/4 with successes at target, staples, and
walmart. Got turned down at CVS
-
on that note, has anyone had any success selling GCs on sites like cardcash or anything? recommendations for or against it?
-
Alright, lots of chaos going on while I've been away.
Lotus,
I would like to extend my families gratitude and well wishes on your
speedy recovery. You have done so much for us, and I cannot thank
you enough.(Wait, yes I can.) If I could ever find time to read
the stealth forum, you could have these pk's I have laying around going
to waste.
In other random news, I finally got rejected by McD's
because they "didn't participate in the promotion because they were a
private franchise". So, I didn't participate in paying for
it. ;D Did someone mention a burger king coupon, or am I
just high? (HINT:I'm pretty high.)
Also, I learned one thing while running the HC and AC across the country. People are doing too much.
For
instance, why in the hell would there ever be a watermark on the back
of something you printed off of an internet survey site? I was
standing two people behind someone using a $50 GC at a random wal-mart I
stopped at, and their story was incredulous. And if you're going
to tell them you did a survey and printed it at home, THEN DON'T HAVE A
HOLOGRAM STICKER ON IT THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY PUT ON THERE! They may
be cashiers but they're not complete idiots.(Unless you live near
wraithe or myself that is.) BTW, I walked out with the same GC,
mine was $40 off $50 and had a hologram. Lmao.
Has anyone already submitted a coupon to the lottery for Dean's dip?
Happy
Independence Day. I wish you all to have blind cashiers and yes
man-agers. Good karma and vibes all around. Time to prepare
for the 7-10 cup.
-
Hey guys, I have another Q. I PM'd GL on SR about it but I
understand it may be difficult to reply due to his injuries. I'm getting
ready to buy the OC but I'd like to know if you need to encrypt
anything since there is no required address? I ask only because I
noticed GL has a PGP key on his Vendor Page.
Thanks, and Happy 4th everyone!!! ;)

Nope.
I think that GL may even have instructions for you to just write
something funny in the "address" box. You'll just download the
coupon image files, once he gives you the links.

Health first and coupons a close CLOSE second.
But
in all seriousness get better and THEN give us the update. I can't
officially speak for everybody, but I will say it anyways; we are all
pulling for your quick full recovery. I can only imagine how stressed
this is making you.
Again, health is of first priority. I think this coupon club can take on Shrek if it comes down to it. ::) :P

Hey some of my coups look dark, for instance the crest white strips. Is this standard?
Are
you talking about the bar code? The Crest coupon is one that's a little
different but there are others like the Crest one in Original coupons. I
don't see how it would be possible for just 1 coupon to be
darker(background or whatever) when you downloaded it. I'm sure its
fine. Print it and if you still have doughts download the bar code
reader on any smart phone. Scan it and make sure it scans. Don't matter
if its black & white prints or full color. Shit you could even print
in rainbow or some full page super premium gloss paper. As long as it
scans your good to go! Fuck what the clerk says.
Also alot of
you people need to print off copies of Wally worlds internet coupon
policy. Buy a $1 folder and print off 50 copies and throw the folder in
your trunk. Fold a few in half and put them in your pocket when you go
shopping. If the clerk gives you shit or even says we can't take your
coupons! Keep a good attitude try not to look like a fucking
dumbass/crackhead. If you look like you do drugs all day of course they
are going to give you shit about these coupons. Its just life. These
type of people that judge everyone I'm sure live shitty lifes and its
normally obvious.(just working at Walmart your life has to suck) They
refuse to hire the right amount of people and starve their workers. But
there is some nice older guys/women that are just bored and like to work
there also. Sometimes you will get a worker that starts talking
dumbshit about fake blah blah and has nothing at all to do with them.
And almost always after they say that there not quite done and is not
necessary.
Can we scan this? For what you said you can't
take it? Oh ya because were not certain it is real so we wanna scan it.
Again tell them they have to take it according to the policy. That
almost always makes them give up on wanting to keep it or scan it. They
go back to how they can't take it because their manger said so. Or if
you are talking to a manger just tell them you are wrong and you know
you are. Bust out a policy and say since you don't know your corporate
internet coupon policy I printed this for you. Your shift manger is the
reason why you hear so much crap about internet coupons not corporate.
Take it home and read it if you like because it seems like your manger
must be misinformed or mistaken badly. Have a good day. Thank you.
(If you are talking to a manger take out your phone and open up voice
recorder. Ask them to please state their full name and the reason why
you cannot accept this coupon. Plus the date and store ID #. This is
just to get under their skin if you feel they deserve it and are up to
it. Its pretty funny and I'm sure it works.)
They want you to use
coupons so you come back. Your shift manger tells you that some print
at home coupons are fake because that is what they are told. They are
just doing their job(attitude or no attitude) and I don't even listen
when they talk their dumbshit they talk. CORPORATE POLICY CLEARLY STATES
NO FREE COUPONS meaning no free PS3 without paying atleast something.
ALL PRINT AT HOME COUPONS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED. Unless they have
info on the certain coupon being invalid from that certain manufacture
they cannot refuse it! That came from a former Walmart district manager
that quit because she got a job offering elsewhere.
Don't forget
if the clerk is hot let her know that maybe you could get a few of
these coupons for her in exchange for her #. Say all I gotta do is go
home and do a few more long surveys and for you that is no problem. Also
buy a few boxes of Magnums condoms for the fuck of it or anything that
makes the clerk feel awkward (big bottle of lube or if you don't have
much $ a huge bottle of generic lotion and 1 box of magnums will work).
Make sure she sees these items before she sees your nice ass coupons. If
you have the balls ask the clerk as soon as you first make eye contact
if she things these are really huge or just a little bigger average
lol.. Remember don't think its to gross or awkward because the more you
feel that the clerk feels it more! These small tips work but not always!
The condoms one though almost always works. They won't even look you in
the eye let alone refuse your coupons especially if you talk about the
products . HAHA be safe.

I just want to say I'm extremely proud of what this community has
turned into over the past year here on SR. It's now been over a year for
me here and it's been one amazing trip, with a few minor setbacks. Silk
Road has changed the person I am, and in some ways that has hardened me
and my ways, but without a doubt I'm a better person because of all of
this. Like many of you, I've been able to pass all of the love and
success on to people I know in real life (No, I don't include anyone in
on the coupons, but the people I care about have all had a better
quality of life).
I've been able to do great things for my family
and help people out in hard times. I've made awesome friends on here
who even though I will never meet them, and the day will come when we
will part ways for good, but still they will be friends for life.
Happy 4th of July! You know what this means? Thanksgiving and Christmas 2013 are next!

Quick
question, what is everyone's opinion on the next set of EXP dates going
through December to free up the rest of the year for new content and
progression? Too soon? or do we want the assurance that these will
continue on throughout 2013 and free up my schedule to focus on bigger
things for us all? I can either do October or just push to December this
time.and I'll go with whatever seems to be the popular opinion.

If there is no possibility of it backfiring and threatening legitimacy I'm all for the EXP data going through Dec.
I'd like to hear other's thoughts on it too though.
P.S. I got a little teary-eyed reading that last post. :')
-
There has to be a fairly simple way to edit a photo for date changes? I know it would make your life alot easier...
Also
I got normal used grocery store receipts(like you get from Mcdonalds
with coupons on the back. Well these don't have coupons on back just
blank. I apply correct dimensions in print properties before printing
print on the back. Comes out so nice and shit looks way better than
white paper..... Also my buddy works at local paper company and gave me a
huge roll of blank newspaper. I print full letter size advertising ad
like some makeup shit or whatever. Flip it over and put coupons in the
back area. Then you can just tear it all shitty looking and the back
looks like a ad and shit is legit! Just a couple alternatives to
computer paper frowns. Of course this is mainly for original ones.

How do you get away with doing $25, $50 or $100 GC coupons at WM
self checkout when anything above $10 needs a manager override?
-
**cough** It's $50, but can't be "FREE"
This seems to be a
recent change when they made their last policy update because I know for
sure it wasn't this way before. Try it. Go take a $40 off $50 and see
how it works for you. So far all my testing has been successful.

If
no one can question the legitimacy of the coupon, then a December exp
date would be fine. For manufacturer's coupons, the end of the year (Dec
31, 2013) exp date actually seems logical, especially if they're giving
them out for customer service surveys, focus groups, or complaints. The
worst that could happen is that you'd have to edit them again if people
get burned more using them; otherwise, you'll have a lot more free time
to focus on much more important stuff.
-
One more thing. The gatorade sells at WM for 4.98 and the coupon is
for $5 off. Can the coupon be reduced to $4.50 or $4.00 off? The way it
is now, as soon as it is scanned, it requires a managers override. I
have since stopped using it at WM.
-
I'm down with the December exp date, I don't see it causing any
problems as most high buck manufacturer coupons like that usually last a
while, the clipped newspaper coups are usually the ones that expire in a
few weeks. Most of the current ones don't expire till around
August anyway so that's not that huge of a leap IMO.

I
have never encountered this.. Are you sure you are not exaggerating?
When a coupon is for more than the price at WM, the system prompts with
"Coupon amount correct?" and they have to press yes, which they always
do. Never requires a CSM just for that..
-
Yes, on the two occasions that it occurred, the clerk called the
manager. Maybe it is not the standard procedure and could be attributed
to just the particular clerks I encountered. Thanks for the info T4B.

The new website is getting very close to complete, and since I
outsourced it this time, it's much more advanced than anything I was
capable of and has a lot of room for scalability. One thing I know I'd
like to do is a really well written FAQ section. Something to address
the common messages I get personally and we all see on this thread.
something to increase damage control and security for everyone.
I'm sure I can do something well, but when it comes time for that, I'd love some input from others.
I
apologize to everyone who messaged me asking for accounts, just for my
own site to fail in beta testing. I've invested the money in
having a better option created for us and look forward to releasing it
soon.
UPDATE: I am going to work on cleaning up the Lottery
tonight and adding new additions and fully updated EXP dates. Thanks to
TurkeyForBreakfast, all of the dates have been updated and he did a
really great job of turning the lottery into something nicer than ever. I
was unable to do the work myself due to a huge back log of work since
my injury, and he stepped to the plate and he did it selflessly. I'm
proud to call him a friend, and without a doubt he's an incredible asset
to our community and I'm impressed that he wants nothing but to give
back... it really doesn't get better than that, and amazingly he is not
the only person by a long shot who feels the same way and wants to give
back. Round of applause for T4B. If anyone has submissions to send in to
me, now would be a great time because I'm focusing on it tonight, and
then I'm going back to business as usual tomorrow and working on OC
updates.
-
Just downloaded my OC coupons! Thanks GL! They look great. Wow, I
hadn't realized how legitimate these would look, I can tell lots of hard
work and long hours went into them.
I notice a lot of them are 3
to a page, but how do you guys go about printing the whole page ones?
The only thing I can think of is scaling them down to 3 to a page on
Paint, Word, Photoshop, etc. What's your guys' method.?
-
I went over $50 in savings a WM, and the guy was surprised that he
needed a manager override, but the robot did it as commanded.
The
lady at target made a smart remark like, "I'm just not used to seeing
coupons with this much off." But Target was stupid....even put in
coupons for items I didn't even get when I accidentally put one in a
pile....and didn't check the item vs what was listed ( the coupon was
for 100ml of Purex and I had 170ml item etc)
oh..and a round of McD's tonight thanks to GL!

Kudos and +1 to you sir.

It's still a bunch of work, got about 30% left and then organizing
and putting them together for upload is another time consumer, but if I
have a productive enough day I can finish the OC updates and hopefully
get the Lottery as up to date as possible tonight and maybe pick some
winners. All depends how well things go, but for sure we are getting
things knocked out so that the focus can be on 100% new content very,
very soon.

I should just leave the fruity bars out this time.... go collect a
bunch myself and then put up a listing for fruity bars. Ship them with
dry ice... I'd be rich around this bitch. 8)

Oh you greedy bastard. :P

There's nothing to this...the coupons just scan. I usually do two or
three transactions so I can get multiple GC's on one visit without
having two or three large discounts on one receipt.
My problem is
that I have only found one WM with SC in my area so far and I'm trying
to stay away for now. I have gotten GC's at Target through the register.
How do you get away with doing $25, $50 or $100 GC coupons at WM self checkout when anything above $10 needs a manager override?
-
I've come across this a fair bit...especially at WM. and usually it
is just like cooltor says pennies less than the price. They usually just
scan though if it's not the only thing you're buying. On the first of
my WD Hard Drive purchases, I picked one that was $99 so with the $90
off coupon it would end up being around $20 because you pay tax on the
full purchase price. However, it was the only thing I was buying and it
just happened to be on sale for $89.98 so the cashier told me "you'll
have to pick up a different one, this one costs less than the
coupon...you missed by two cents!"
One
more thing. The gatorade sells at WM for 4.98 and the coupon is for $5
off. Can the coupon be reduced to $4.50 or $4.00 off? The way it is now,
as soon as it is scanned, it requires a managers override. I have since
stopped using it at WM.

I
think most of the people on this thread would agree this is a bad idea.
Don't get greedy. Keep it down to 1 gift card per store per week is a
safe number (and one I personally use). Don't burn a store out and get
flagged.

I
agree your just asking for trouble hitting the same store often.
Even if you don't get caught 99/100 times you are really losing your
plausible deniability at that point.
I was at the archers
favorite store buying something for 30 and getting a 20 off 25 gc and it
took off the price of the full 30 dollar item when she scanned the
coup. Anyone else ever see this I'm wondering if this could be
abused in a larger purchase.

Just a quick word... OC expiration dates are 98% finished, but some
things were identified that need to change, so it likely won't go live
today but very very soon. I'll announce it.
Also got exciting
things in the works... a preorder listing and full description will be
made available very soon. Possibly today. Mondays and Tuesdays I work
double shifts, so you can expect Wednesday at the very latest for both
of those things.

I
second "don't get greedy" and also had that happen at the same store
w/the GC coup coming up as "free item" basically. The cashier had
to select the item on the screen, then it rung up as $0.00 which
confused her since it was 20 off 25, then she got nervous she did it
wrong and called a manager over...they then canceled the transaction
because they didn't understand what was going on, LOL. Gave me
some excuse about the computer not being able to compute it correctly
even though the damn gc was already activated and I was 2 seconds from
walking out. Oh well.
Anyone still use that $7.50 off 3 boxes of
cereal coupon?? It was one of the Friday freebies PL put up on his
coupon maker website when that was all the rage (damn I miss that
shit!)--anyway not sure if it was hard-coded for some reason or if WM is
just fucking w/me, but I tried using it today and they said it had
expired a couple weeks ago. Damn, I loved that coupon!
+1 karma everyone, and thanks for the hard work updating, GL--take it sleazy!

+1 to T4B for taking the time to give so selflessly to the
community. (+100 for free McDonalds, my lil girl LOVES
fries. It means so much to hear her yell fries in the backseat
when she sees a Mc'ds sign, and I can stop and get them even when I
can't afford it. Thank you so much.)
+1 up, up, down down, left, right, left, right, select, start to Lotus for unlimited health and lives. Get well soon!!!
My vacation is over. Guess that means I gotta start shopping. Looking forward to the lottery update!
***Something
is bothering me so I'm gonna address it. To those of you who keep
messaging me for tips on how to launder $$$ off GC's and have no post
history, here is my suggestion. Do your 50 posts and become an asset to
the community. I will be happy to assist members of this
community, but will not do so if you don't journey halfway to find the
answer yourself. I'm not trying to be rude, but getting all these
questions from people with no post history is annoying. For all I know,
you could be LE on a fishing expedition. :-X Read the forums
first; if you can't find the answer, post in the forum or message
someone who is active in the community.(GL, PL, T4B, and that guy who
looks like kurt russell are good places to start). I have been away for a

I
don't have that coupon, but with the OC you've got $3 off Kellogg's,
$2.25 off Post, $2.50 off General Mills, and I'm sure I'm missing one.
But of course I'm sure you know this. But I can't comment on the

Nice
post! Let me repeat the policy around here for new viewers... If anyone
ever approaches you in PM on the forum trying to buy my coupons. The
answer is YES you will cut the deal... then you take that money and tell
them to go fuck themselves. Not only does this get you great respect on
the forums, but I also offer a much higher reward for such a thing than
anyone could possibly ever offer. If someone is trying to fuck us, we
already have controls in place. Our security and continuity is number 1
priority.

I
still have that $7.50 off 3 boxes of GM cereal, and yes it is hard
coded expired. I will try to update it for us later this week and have
it added to the submission lottery, although the $2.50 off any one box
which is in the OC works just as well.

Quick question everybody. The Mastercard GCs expire 24 hours like

can wait a bit. Thanks.

So
far it is VISA only who nukes cards. Have not seen or heard of MC or
AMEX or any of the GCs doing that. However I warned even before VISA
started nuking some of them (they DO not get them all by a long shot)
that it was still a wise decision to spend the prepaid debit cards
within 24 hours. I always do, but I believe the answer to your question
is no.

yo i cant get to the coupons to re download.. whats the deal??
answer messages on SR goldenlotus!!!

I am working on a ton of things. None of my messages are waiting
more than 24 hours for a response, but my computer desk time is severely
limited. I am shooting for brand new OC expiration updates to be live
tonight, so I'm assuming you would rather hold off until then, but I'll
be checking messages soon and addressing that. Of course those are
important too, but repetitively answering messages about stuff I should
be doing limits me from doing it. With this brand new site I am about to
debute, there will be no more off this bullshit. The links will never
ever again change and we won't have to do this dance that the very few
scum of SR have spoiled our fun and my ability to be productive to the
max.

for confirming my assumption, GL. I thought VISA was the only one doing
it, but I will probably spend the MC within 24 hours anyways.

Can't wait for the new site, been thinking since I bought the OC from you that there should be some kind of site for it.
Could
also add a feature for coupon requests then have users vote on said
coupons. Then you can go through them and mark them as "done" "in the
works" or "no."
Just a thought there.
Gotta get started reading this coupon making tut. :) Will be in touch.
-
Can someone comment on when exactly the giftcard becomes live? Like
they take it run it through the scanner then ask u to pay right.
So if you give them it then they hand it back then u give the coupon or
in some order where the giftcard is in you possession and has been ran
through is it live or does the transaction have to be fully complete?
I ask because I could still walkout with the gc 50% of the time at least when rejected.
-

This
service is already being offered in the submission lottery forum. If
you post what you need there someone will likely make it for you.It
tends to help if you can provide the manufacturer ID, typical price or
how much off you want, and detailed information on the product if it is
not common.

It's
not too bad of an idea, but it would be up to GL as to how to manage

he intended to make himself, or the other way around I would guess..
I have a similar character flaw.

Question about gift cards. Could they AND would it be okay to use
them for an online purchase? EX: Order some shit online and have it
shipped to me. Would i be fine using my real info or use fake ? Could I
be tracked ? Is it asking for trouble ? Or am I just being paranoid ?

Here's
the deal. I would say it is better not to do that, but if you feel
comfortable go ahead. Honestly, none of us know if it is even possible
for the companies or an investigator to put the info together if it came
to that. How much risk you want to take is up to you, the obvious
answer is that you should not take unnecessary risk.

yeah, gracias! I'd +1 you but I did yesterday. I have all the
single cereal coupons but we go through like 6 boxes a week so it's
handy as hell to get 3 for each coupon...also seems to get fewer funny
looks from nosey cashiers since most of them don't do the math to
realize that it's still just as huge of a discount,
-
Sorry for asking again but im afraid my post may be lost in the ether.
Does anyone know at what point the giftcard becomes active? Specifically, does it have to be paid for?
Yes, typically gift cards require a swipe by a cashier to activate. I have seen some that one get scanned, but this is rare.

At
Walmart the mastercards don't need to be scanned as long as long as you
don't exceed $50 in coupons. And the cards that do swipe, you are asked
to swipe in the credit card machine, with no assistance from anyone.

The
answer is no they cannot be used for online purchases. Not in the
easiest/safest method to obtain them. Hypothetically, It would work on
cards that needed your SS# and info.

Not
a problem. Other observations.... WMs that recently went through a
remodel are still having register issues with scanning gs1 codes.
I've used the same coupons from OC at about 5 different locations with
mostly positive results. However 2 of the locations were recently
remodeled and thus had system upgrades that required CSM interaction on a
handful of overrides. Found it interesting.

My social engineering skills are literally exploding out of the roof
from this. I've always said if I had a hot girls body and my

the self checkout for the challenge or whatever.
Had something go down like this
I hand coupon
They get this immediate wtf look on their face
Immediately call over whoever it is with more authority
Says "we have to throw fake coupons like this away"
I'm like fake? You didn't even try to scan it
They scan it, it works.
Still insists on throwing it away.
"I
filled 400 surveys out to get this coupon, and you think your throwing
it away? Give me my coupon or I'm calling the cops, my family
shops at this store and to think I was just bragging to people about how
well its run and they turn around and try to steal my property"
Hands coupon back
Peace bitches

limited. I am shooting for brand new OC expiration updates to be live
tonight, so I'm assuming you would rather hold off until then, but I'll
be checking messages soon and addressing that. Of course those are
important too, but repetitively answering messages about stuff I should
be doing limits me from doing it. With this brand new site I am about to
debute, there will be no more off this bullshit. The links will never
ever again change and we won't have to do this dance that the very few
scum of SR have spoiled our fun and my ability to be productive to the
max.
PL
Are
you gonna message us all the link to the OC downloads for the new site?
How is that gonna work? Just curious, as even though I think I've
bought all your collections the OC is the only one I continually use.
lol I've been getting nervous about those expiration's coming up this
month 0.o I wanna try the gift card one I bought a month back but
haven't done it yet.

Thanks for that info tarkin.
Not
a problem. Other observations.... WMs that recently went through a
remodel are still having register issues with scanning gs1 codes.
I've used the same coupons from OC at about 5 different locations with
mostly positive results. However 2 of the locations were recently
remodeled and thus had system upgrades that required CSM interaction on a
handful of overrides. Found it interesting.
I
have found a pretty good workaround to the new WM system. It takes some
coaching on your part, but it works on coupons for less than $10. When
they scan it and it says "Scan GS1 barcode" sometimes they can scan the
GS1 and sometimes it comes up as "$$$" to them and "Coupon-scanned
########-######" on the customer display. If this happens, you need to
convince the cashier to scan the small barcode again, when the computer
says "Scan GS1 Barcode" if you can get them to instead scan the small
barcode a second time, the system will take the coupon, but display
"scan GS1 barcode" again, from then on the rest of the coupons should
work on the small barcode the same way.
This has worked great
for me, but it does require some coaching of the cashier which I never
like to do. It makes some of them really uneasy/

I
had that issue with the Swiffer coupon. Except my cashier was more
determined to make it scan than I was haha But I asked her to just try
scanning both bar codes and it'd be fine. At least with the OC, they
care more about getting it to work because even if it is fake, it
doesn't matter. They'll just trash it and you feign ignorance.

i know its almost done but i was wondering the ETA on the release of the updated OC?
im leaving on friday morning and wont be back for a couple weeks, i would love to be able to get the oc updates before i go....
also
i tried updating exp dates myself but couldnt find a good program that
would let me change just the date without screwing anything else up on
the coup...any advice?
thanks...hope every body is doing good
-
welp. 0/4 today on a $50 coupon. :'( but I was able to
get some good intel. If you are going through self check out with your
gift card, the cashier at the main terminal can view everyone's
transaction! I was literally ABOUT TO PAY when the self check out
cashier comes running up and was like "hold on, wait wait wait".
she stopped the transaction and was like sorry we can't homor these type
of coupons. Seriously It scanned. what the fuck. anyways FYI if you are
getting gift cards at self check out, be sure that the cashier is not
viewing the main terminal, cause they'll shut that shit down. CVS said
"ya... no". whatever it's not the first time I've completely
failed all day at coupons. I'll be back, and I will show no mercy. I'm
thinking that on the next trip have my wife with me. that was she can
Completely fuck her transaction up and request help from the person at
the monitor, meanwhile while she's being helped ill be running my
coupons. As. many. as. I. can.

In
a pinch you can just use Microsoft paint. Use a white box to cover up
the current text, create a text box, I use Arial font, and find the
appropriate font size, then reposition it as best you can. Works pretty
well if you are needing something really quickly.
-
If it wasn't for these coupons. I'd have no toilet paper, and taco night would have been a disaster.

WoW,
that is very odd. Editing and re-saving in paint should not alter any
part of the image except where you change it. I will attempt to
replicate your problem later and see what I can figure out. I have not
run into that before..

Have you tried using GIMP? It's free, not as simple as Paint, but works much better.

I have a hypothetical needle poking my brain.
Lets say
"John Doe", gets some coupons. Then John works his way up getting
valuable experience from the OC to the HC to the AC to the Not Free
etc... Let's say John gets comfortable, and finds the zone to the tune
of an over 90% success rate. "John" doesn't use any store more
than once a month and has expanded out to a 400 square mile area.
He's having the time of his life and BAM! "John" accidently wins a
major award in a competition and gets his face on a full page spread in
an alternative magazine. Now, John knows not everyone reads this
publication, and the chances of being recognized may not be that
great.
But, if it was you, would you tell John to call it a
day? He's worried about the notoriety from this award, as he
feels it would make it easier for someone to recognize his face.(John
wears wigs for medical reasons.)
Any and all questions and (hilarious) comments are welcome and encouraged.

Just an update on the revised OC with brand new EXP updates... If
you messaged me just to ask for a personal update, after reading my
announcements, either on the forum or in PM then you personally should
take responsibility for being part of the delay. You will not be given
links for the next 7 days in an effort to deter this from happening in
the future. The only exception would be if you could prove to me you are
out of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, food, trash bags, or anything
vital to your life that you once paid retail for.
Oh yeah, I will
be making uploads to the OC tonight... it may or may not be 100%, but
its really fucking close and any few I have to redo and add will be
placed into a new zip you can snag later. As requested, file sizes are
now much smaller with no loss in resolution.
I'll feel better when this is done... just one of those days. :-)
I'll keep my head up,
GL
UPDATE:
My first comment about penalizing people 7 days, was pure sarcasm... no
need to PM me about it. Once I get OC done, then I can breathe a little
and catch up just in time for HC updates, and... part of the delay on
the OC is that I have diversified into new projects which means they are
progressing too. Of course the biggest factor for the delay was that I
have several broken bones healing which makes sitting at a computer for
more than 30 minutes really uncomfortable and I don't put myself through
it. Getting better slowly though. I need to focus in on completing
tasks and not starting so many... but there are great things in the
works.

thanks dude, i bet doing all the updates suck! having so many bad ass coups is a double edge sword!

I used paint to change the date on a coupon.... I just opened up a
few others that had the numbers I wanted.. cut out a 3.. pasted a 7 ...
cut a 0 pasted a 1...
but i think I'm just going to download the new exp dates.. as i have more time which means more frugal couponing.
-
A random question, and if you don't like it here I'll delete PLGL...
But
I was just curious what is everyones way of getting BTC... $50-$100...
bitinstant is being a bitch... so wondering if you folks had any
alternatives... thanks
I
can vouch for the vendor cityofangels he takes something vanilla
network card? It's essentially a moneypak but anyways within 10
mins I had my coins. Great to get a quick few coins when your normal
source is out.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/0928e26ad6
Let
me just say thanks chase... I took your word for it and went ahead and
used cityofangels and lets just say it was superb... was easier than
bitinstant now...
talked to him about it beforehand... sent him
my code.. when he got on he sent me my btc.. Very easy for small amount
of btc... i'd recommend and use again.
Im pretty sure its his way of cashing out so his supply varies.. but give him a holla for a dolla. lol

Wondering what everyone's take on Wal-Mart is at the moment.
Unfortunately I only have a few targets in my area, and the only KMart
went out of business a couple years ago, leaving me with Wal-Mart as my
only option (I'm unsure about my regional retailers based on
searching this thread) if I want to expand my amount of stores. Is their
coupon system still fussy or is it pretty much fine?
-
So how do I go about getting the link for the updates? PM on SR
automatically or do I have to reach out to you there? I won't pester,
just need some instructions to follow. Thanks for all your hard work,
hope you're feeling better every day. Can't wait to see the new stuff
you have in store for us!

Go
to Wal-Mart with three or four coupons and just try them out. You
shouldn't go with a bunch to start out with anyways. If all the coupons
work and you feel confident try some more in about a week (if using the
same store) with a little more coupons. You'll gradually gain
confidence.
If a coupon doesn't work just don't use THAT coupon
at THAT WalMart. Just make sure you get any coupons that don't work or
they don't accept back from them. Try it somewhere else though just to
make sure it's not the coupon. If a coupon doesn't work at multiple
stores go ahead and report it on this topic and somebody will most
likely be able to test it out fairly quickly.
I haven't had any
problems with the OC at WalMart in my area, but I've known some people
that have had problems with certain coupons at certain WalMarts.
EDIT:
I'm right there with you with the KMart as well. All KMarts in my area
went out of business a few years ago. But try Target because I've had
100% success with the OC. I'm not sure how many are "a few" but you
should go to them as well to diversify the stores you shop at.
-
Hey PL/GL,
I'm an old client from about 9 months ago that was just wanting
access again to the coupon packs!
please check your PM's guys ! ( not sure if they went thru b/c there is not a sent item in my outbox )
thanks in advanced !

Wow. Batting 1.000 today on 9 office supply stores this
morning. Picked up a Kindle AND a Beats headset, along with
$400 worth of Amex GC's. Went to McD's for lunch,(Thanks T4B!!!!!)
and saw a couple of veterans sitting outside asking for change in 100
degree heat. They looked like they hadn't eaten in days. It's sad
to see the men that fought for this country unable to provide for
themselves. I felt bad for their situation, so I gave them my
stack of Mcd's coups from my car and all of the GC's I picked up
today. I had to make an extra stop on the way home to get a gas
card,(lol, I almost ran out on the way home) but it was totally worth it
just to be able to pay it forward. I encourage everyone if they
ever find themselves in that situation to do the same. You can
always get more GC's, but you may not always have the chance to affect
someones life in a positive way. ;)
*My friend
"John" found out that anyone from his organization can accept the award
on behalf of the organization so he stays in the background.
"John" is very pleased with this outcome. Thank you to everyone

Greetings felllow couponers,
I am really interested in doing
this. I know that I have to buy the original pack before the others, but
the original pack is almost all just food. I happen to have an awesome
organic grocery store nearby that I dumpster dive every sunday and
wednesday night, so my pantries are always way overpacked with good
food. The thought of spending money on food right now is absurd. Do you
feel it was necessary to start with the food/small things first? Either
way I have to buy it, so just thought I'd ask. Thanks, CanSlimCan

It's
not absolutely necessary, but it's highly recommended. I'm usually
pretty cool in situations like this, but I was even nervous the first
few times I tried to use the coupons. The first few times you really
want to get the feel for the process as smoothly as possible, and only
using a few coupons on small ticket items definitely builds up your
confidence and ability to have some kind of rapport with cashiers and
CSMs to get the result you want. It's definitely a better idea to start
with a few small things first. Hell, just get something you like that
doesn't get tossed near the grocery store you go to. I mean, personally,
I'd rather have food bought off the shelves than from a garbage bin
anyway haha
That being said, not all the things are food. To be
honest, I use the material item coupons more because I might want
particular food items (I love to cook) that there aren't coupons for.
There are a lot of good deals to be had on cleaning products (now that I
don't have to worry about spending money on them, I clean the shit of
my house), underwear and socks, and a bunch of other stuff. It'll
eventually pay for itself.
-
Haha yeah, I guess we are kinda bums with no shame :) We have plenty
of money to buy food, but its too tempting to get it for free. All the
food is still sealed up and perfectly good to go. We found a box with 11
huge jars of organic olive oil, shit's expensive, and the whole box got
thrown out because one broke and got all over the others. We also get
wine / scotch that gets tossed as well. As much organic fruit/veggies as
we want. Anyway, I'm digressing. I guess after second glance there is
some household stuff in there, like you said cleaning supplies. My
friends and I are the type to not give a shit, I mean we dumpster dive
for heavens sake, so I'll start with the small ones and work up from
there! I'm about to order in just 5 minutes!

If anyone has no need for the OC, they have no need to purchase from
me. For all the different reasons I won't break this policy... this one

Interesting point... reminds me of this article on clearnet
http://www.npr.org/2013/05/30/186450423/how-a-trip-to-costco-can-work-as-an-investment-strategy
Basically
it says that the #1 investment vehicle out there is purchasing consumer
goods for the long term. It makes sense because it seems like every
couple of weeks the stores around here raise prices. I mean, I saw an 18
pack of toilet paper for like $20! That's absurd! Here's some select
quotes:
"Mark Cuban is a billionaire, so it may be a surprise
that the owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks purchases everyday items like
razor blades and toothpaste in bulk batches. It's stuff he knows he'll
use in the future."
"Now, throwing away money isn't the purpose
of this undertaking. I'm looking to fill my cart with things I'll
definitely use so that in the long run, I've actually saved money by
buying in bulk. After well more than an hour inside the store, I come
out with: 16 razor blades, three 8-ounce tubes of toothpaste, 16 cans of
soup, two 186-ounce containers of laundry detergent, 90 tablets of
heartburn relief medicine, two 40-ounce packages of dog treats, 12 white
T-shirts and more. The total bill: $303.53.
How can I tell if
bulk buying pays off? It pays off if I use what's in my cart — and if I
come back to the store in, say, a year, and the total price tag on my
items is higher than what I paid."
-
I wonder your guy's take on all the extreme couponers I've been seeing at garage sales and on facebook.
Are
these guys using real coupons? I see stuff I've been getting with
OC coupons like detergent, deodorant, toothpaste, diapers, toilet
paper, razors etc for 1/4 the price and I'm thinking uh
huh...extreme couponing...riiiiiiiight. There is like...4 people
in my area and just a couple doors down I see stacks of stuff for sale
at a garage sale and he said his daughter is an extreme couponer...I
feel like saying..."yeh, I know how she's doing it."
lolz.

I updated the OC finally... it's missing one file, but I'll have
that last one added by the time any new customers purchase it, so anyone
wanting to get a jump can go ahead now.

awesome. There are a few that expire in july still in there...i
should have noted which ones but it's late. Some nice additions
thanks!

Thanks, no worries, I will check them tomorrow too. Gotta finish
some and then look over if I included any old ones without actually
fixing it, which is possible... so many fucking coupons..
Thanks bud,

They
look great GL, thank you! When you do update the coupons, is it just
the printed date, or do you have to update the codes? They don't show up
as coded in when I use my iOS app. If so, would you use coupons that
the community updated? It seems like it could lift a lot of work off
your shoulders if that was the case.
Also, so you don't have to check, the ones I've found that still exp. in July are:
BlueBell
BlueDiamondAlmonds
CrestToothpaste
DownyWrinkleRelease350
DownyWrinkleRelease550
FloridasNaturalJuice
GElightbulbs
MissionTortilla
MorningStarFarms
PostCereal
SargentoStringCheese
:::EDIT:::
Also,
I love the fact that the coupons are now just single images (at least I
haven't run across multiples per page). It makes it a little easier to
place multiple different ones on a page. Regarding that, how does
everyone print out their coupons so they get decent sizes but multiples
per page? I've just been putting them in a word document and resizing.

GL...whats the link for the oc now? the site up? the last 2 oc links i have dont work
-
Thanks for the feedback bandini2012Due. I have completed those but
seem to hastely have included the old version. Tonight I am free to work
on things all night. I'll polish up the OC and add some more to it. I
just wanted people to have something to work with rather than say I
wasn't 100% finished and have nothing to show for it.
I'm glad
most of the old ones are still valid and hopefully everyone who goes
shopping today doesn't miss an item just because I fell behind.

at a garage sale and he said his daughter is an extreme couponer...I
feel like saying..."yeh, I know how she's doing it."
lolz.
I
actually used to be an extreme couponer(Now I'm an
oc/advanced/hardcore/notfree). Living on a fixed income forced us
to try to find ways to stretch our budget. Its still difficult for
me to believe I used to clip a hundred sunday papers a week with my
wife and younger brother. I've come a hell of a long way from
where I was. Now, instead of waiting for good deals, I already
have them regardless of whether or not the product is on sale. If
your on the fence, allow me to set it on fire.
THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT ON SR PERIOD
To
the person asking for tips, I was a couponer before I found this so
people already knew me as a shrewd bastard. Start with the OC.(I did
nothing but OC for a month and put myself in different scenarios with
the OC on purpose so I knew how to handle any eventuality.(It also
allowed me to meet CSM's over petty problems so that when I came back
with HC/AC, they just tell the cashier to let me through.)
Once you have that "couponers confidence" and learned stores
policies, its all a walk in the park. If my wife can do it, anyone
can. :o Dress for success. By that I mean, don't look
like a dropout and don't wear a tux. Business casual has always worked
for me, but its different strokes....
-
Hey y'all!
Still going strong?
-
Just bought the OC pack... only two things I want at the moment are
POM wonderful and Burt's Bees... Will need detergent/toothpaste/soap
etc. later. So I'll try those two things and report back.

Well said, limitless. +1 KARMA for you my friend.
I
tend to go to the store looking pretty nice, jeans or khakis,
non-tshirt top, hair usually in a tam, facial hair trimmed. Sometimes I
go with my daughter which always helps. I have to second the "business
casual" look as it makes you look trustworthy.

Welcome to the family... err club... err what should we call ourselves? :P
I'm sure you'll find much more that you'll be wanting to buy just because you have a coupon for it.
You'll most likely end up like the majority of us, donating items to those that are less fortunate.
-
I think a good idea would be to start posting more organized trip
reports and possibly keeping some kind of spreadsheet with all the
different stores (national and regional) so we can roughly know what our
chances are when going out. For instance, we could list name of the
store, which coupons may not have worked/UPCs of the products (if
possible), etc. Mostly because there are some regional stores I would
like to try but I'm not sure because I've only heard vague things about
the certain stores. Anonymous trip reports would be the best, in my
opinion, because it wouldn't tie locations to specific users, but that
would require maybe an outside site to submit them...
I'm going to go on a trip tomorrow and I'll try to come up with a decent report.

Yeah
I could see that happening, seeing as how we usually give a shit load
of food that we can't possibly eat away from our DD adventures. Like I
said, most of the stuff is food on the OC, but I do have a trip report
on my trip to Target!
So I decided to take it slow with the POM
juice and Burt's Bees. I printed out the coupons, and headed over to
target to purchase a fan as well. I look for a teenage cashier, and
stand in line. There were two people ahead of me, and i could tell she
didn't give a shit because she kept smiling at the other cashier who was
jackin around not doing his job. (I read the thread and figured this
was the most important part). Frankly, I wasn't really nervous because
if the coupons didn't scan I'd just be like whatever and buy the fan
anyway. I will admit, I did feel a little flip when the coupons did
scan. So the POM was on sale for $5.49, the Burt's Bees was $2.99, and I
ended up paying $.32 (.10 Beverage fee, sales tax on the burts bees).
Pretty good stuff :-) Of course the fan was full price, but w/e i really
needed it.
-
Of course the fan was full price, but w/e i really needed it.
Next
time plan ahead. If you know you need a fan, figure out the brand and
ask someone on the submission lottery forum to make it for you.
Providing the price, manufacturer ID, and a description will expedite
the process, but you could have gotten a coupon for the fan as well..
This community is here to save you from retail prices. Hopefully you
will get to the point that paying full price makes your skin crawl...

Hey everyone, I finally made it to 50 posts... More of a pain than you'd think!
First
off, I want to thank GL/PL for the best product on SR. Second, I've
thoroughly enjoyed following along with this forum for the past month or
so. You guys are all pretty great and entertaining. I have a pretty
busy work schedule so I don't get on much, but I always try to find time
to check out this forum when I'm on.
Anyways, I've been using
the OC and AC for a little over a month now and have a few small bits of
advice. WM (at least in my area) either have what seems to me as a
newer system that works for most coupons, and more importantly the AC as
opposed to the older systems that have either been recently "updated"
and now give an error that I think T4B was talking about that says "Scan
CS1 barcode..." or something like that. I'd recommend sticking with the
$50 GC's if you happen to find a WM that will take the coupon because
it won't prompt any CSM either.
At CVS, if they scan the data bar
it will work every time and doesn't require them to enter any value,
but does require a manager approval, though at that point the coupon has
already scanned, so most of the time they'll accept it.
For
Target, I've actually thought about printing the AC coups with the UPC
taken off because that will come up as "Not a valid coupon" if they
happen to scan it. Most Target employees are trained to scan the data
bar, but it looks super sketch when that message pops up and will
invariably draw unwanted attention.
Happy to finally be able to share my experiences with you all and start to contribute to the forum.

Fucking
right, that is an awesome post. Who among us hasn't gone out their way
and got things for the people who needed it more? Family, friends, even
sometimes people I don't even know but just happen to come across in
life... I never give out coupons IRL obviously... but it feels good to
go out of your way and do a small thing that means a whole lot to
someone and they never even know how easy it was for you to help them
like that.

TFB:
funny part is I already have a fan coupon. I'm sorry you had to pay
full price for that canslimcan. I'm just focusing on getting updates
through November and then I will get back to releasing new content.

Welcome,
Margo, and awesome first post! You could always use the Not Free
Collection and then take the $50 Visa coupon through self-checkout at
Walmart without needing any assistance or ever getting the "enter gs1
barcode" issue. Just profile the situation. Try to get in when the
cashier is busy helping a customer or just wondering around not looking
at her screen. My experience is that not all Walmarts have had that
issue, I personally have seen the issue, and I've been told by employees
that it was happening all the time (meaning real coupons too). The Not
Free Collection also has no UPC. It's just straight up databars. Great
observation with the Target thing. Target seems to not allow employee's
to manually enter anything above $50, but I've had reports from people
who do use coupons above $50 from Target.
We feel your pain...
many of us have had to make the 50 post climb too... it just so happened
to be the case that one of my previous review threads had to be
retired, and in this case that meant deleting it from existing, knocking
many of my customers to below 50% and then shortly after that the rule
went into effect and people who had their account for more than a year
and were very active on my thread couldn't post. And then I had to do it
for GoldenLotus to be able to post and knocked it out in no time
flat.... but I was highly motivated.
Glad you made it and wish you luck,
GoldenLotus

Hoooly shit! Been away far too long and have missed so much! Had
about 60 pages to read through on this thread but finally got caught up,
feels great to be back. Hello again to all the vets and welcome to all
newcomers.
First and foremost a huge thank you to GL/PL for
toughing it out through the pain from his injuries and knocking out the
heavy workload- best fucking customer service around right here!
Got
a shit load of stuff that I need to pick up this weekend. Thanks to
these coupons, my family didn't struggle too badly while I was away.
This is truly the best investment you could possibly make! The Advanced
Collections are fantastic and everything, but even if you could only get
one collection, the OC is a lifesaver for sure. It's easy to pass,
takes far less SE than the more advanced packs so even for the timid it
shouldn't be tough to pass.
As long as GL doesn't have a
problem with it, anyone with urgent requests can feel free to PM me and
I'll do my best to make the coupon promptly so he can continue to focus
on getting updates done.
Happy Couponing to all!

WB ForTehLulz! ;D
I finally got through reading 40
something of my SR messages today. Yours is the only one left unread so I
could remember to handle it when I'm a little less high in the morning,
LOL. On that note, if anyone feels they did not receive a proper
response from me lately then please resend me the message on Silk Road,
because things do sometimes slip through and a misclick or something I
think gets sent out doesn't go...
Lulz: Now that you are back can I go take a vacation now?
UPDATE: Oh shit I just hit 300 posts... for the fifth time.

thanks good sir! Abso-fucking-lutely take a vaca, if anyone around here
deserves it, it's you. Although I highly recommend you not go where I
went. It was sponsored by the generous people of the state, all
inclusive, but once I arrived, I found it fell far short of my
expectations. ::) If you need any help with updating the dates,
I'd be more than happy to help out just let me know.

is this thread getting more active or is that just me? loving it.
just gave out some karma to the vets around here. I've been taking
requests from my friends and telling them I'd "look" for coupons on the
internet, so far i've found every one, thanks to GLs lessons. 8)
Wish my man 420BM would poke his head back in so I could give him some
karma. just rolled an epic cross blunt with his and sativasallys trim
listing. SR would definitely have a solid BBB rating. High as shit and
probably not making much sense right now. Gonna make a GC to trip to my
local walmart now!

Word....love burning the Christ Cross! jump around, get downnnnnn.....thanks for the props!
I've
been a client of the Lotus® Brand for over a year now, and I've saved
over 50K (at least), with the coupons I've printed and used with family
and close friends. With out a doubt, the best purchase I've ever made,
here and IRL. Not only are the savings fan-fucking-tastic, but the
service from Lotus is second to none.
...yep, I'm pretty high me self....and boozin' too...
Seriously,
I've changed my life since coming to the road and finding the OC, and
the rest of the collections. It will for anyone who gets it.

Works, but I
would be familiar with wiping the metadata off of a picture before
posting it. A cell phone will leave data inside of your picture which
can reveal your GPS info, etc.
Yeah, I haven't heard from
420blindman in a few days. I was excited to see if SallySativa had any
new listings and now I'm stuck and can't check Silkroad.
UPDATE:
of course as I'm posting about it, he suddenly appears... Holy shit....
drinking already? Lucky... I'm working on coupons... About to drink a
redbull.
-
it was said that OC updates were updated and posted- many people
even posted about getting them and some being expired or old - can
someone tell me what must be done to get teh OC/HC links for updates
that you have already purchased. Have messaged and no response :(
feeling sad lol
-
Just had a couple successful OC visits to WM. I try to stay
below $50, so I had ~$48 at one WM and ~$35 at another...no
problems. The second WM didn't have a stupid looking cashier and
the one that corralled me made a comment about how much off they
were....but I shrugged it off well.
But I failed to get a
mastercard with a not-free thru a SC at WM. It came up as
"customer assistance needed" and after a back and forth from the SC
cashier and the manager, they eventually said it was a fake.
This WM had lines for SC, not the square configuration.
I've read in this thread that the square configs have better
results? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
Also, thanks T4B for the MCD's again!....i think I got that right this time?

Just
message me on SR. Don't message me on the forums (How do I know who is
who?) and don't ask on the board. I have several forum messages and
tormails I haven't gotten yet. I am trying to finish off all of the OC
today... but shit just keeps happening. I just was held hostage the past
3 hours by this crazy chick... but that's a whole different story. Just
message me from the account you bought from.

Decided to go to Target but realized I didn't have any cash, so I
found the nearest branch of my bank... and it turns out it's right
across from the sketchiest Kmart I've ever seen. Too bad they didn't
have most of the products I wanted, but I did walk at with a $32 being
$10 (bought something that I didn't bring a coupon for), which isn't too
bad. I did use an old ScotchBrite sponge coupon that didn't work, but
my toothless cashier punched it in anyway.
-
Dude if women weren't completely insane, I would have gotten all my
shit done today... (except the women who are customers here, those women
are smart and would be crazy not to own these coupons)

She scanned the coupon even though you didn't check the barcode and you
still judge her..... She could save your kids life someday bro.
Yup
my Grandma got every fucking giftcard coupon I gave her. I don't give
them to her anymore. Just like 10 when I first started because she
popped up at my house and they was on my table... She said hmmm can I
have these? Lol I never said no to my grandma in my life so out the door
she went.. I tried giftcards at least 5 times 6ish months ago. They
look at coupon then look at me then coupon again. Nahhh we can't take
this. Life would be alot easier if I had a normal appearance but its not
me so fuck that. Just saying....
-
Hey Golden, I just messaged you. I didn't wanna bug you about the
dates because you said you was going to get to it on 4th holiday and I
figured you just got backed up until I just read through some pages here
about dude helping you out. Does it have a different link or? Some cool
people here. Seems like only friends I got are on forums.... I used to
have friends but they all gone by now... Few snitched couple prison.. 1
tried to fuck my girl so hes gone for life! I got a golden heart and I
know they all miss me.. Well not me but all the shit I used to do for
everyone... What goes on in peoples heads to make them wanna tell when
they are arrested... Them same people I used to see all the time
disappear. And I'm out here alot never see any of them in public and its
fucked up. Lifes fucked up..
You make many many people
happy!!!!! I was talking to a guy that is always walking around my
subdivision the other day. I was changing my oil and this guy walks up
and asked if I need any help? I said wow man noones ever asked me that
before lol... It was 100+ out. He was telling me about how his girl just
filed for child support because he hasn't been helping out lately like
he should be. Shes rich and just being a fucking bitch knows he can
barley even eat and won't let him see his kid ever. Long story short I
gave him a shit ton of baby coupons wipes diapers all that... He said he
went and bought 10 boxes of each and sat it on your porch and week
later he got letter in the mail saying his ex stopped the child support
file. All because of you man! Figured you would like to hear that. If
karma was real and you could get by giving illegal stuff away your life
would be diamonds and love!!!!

Ok I straightened out the zips I uploaded the other day. Deleted any
repeats, swapped out any that were still left to update.
I am
uploading the files now and within the hour they will be available for
upload. I have plans today, but either tonight or tomorrow I will double
check if I left anything out. Feel free to msg me if I did. All of
these are good, and if I find I left a couple out I will get them all
and create a new zip file for them when fixed.
Have a great Sunday,
GL
-
Thanks GL/PL. I went to the link and it gave me another link and
then a 404. If you have a new link how are you distributing it? Thanks
again as always!

I am getting 404'd as well. Will check back in a few hours to see if this changes.
-
Thanks for confirming...wanted to make sure I wasn't out of the loop. Hard to be logged in these days!
-
Got the same 404. All good though, I'll just stick to the AC coups
I've already printed that expire the 24th. Then just use an MC GC to buy
the stuff I needed. GL/PL will handle it soon.
I remember
how crazy it seemed when I was reading thru old posts and someone said
something along the lines of... "It's a really good feeling when you're
driving to get some free Chipotle, with your free gas, before you go
pick up some free groceries." I can tell you now, that it truly is.
UPDATE: Got it fixed before I could even finish the above post.

No more 404 on the OC download link.

I've been doing so bad lately on gc's. :( Of
course the self checkouts are awesome but any store without I'm getting
maybe 1/10th of the time. I'm dressing nicely, engaging the
cashier in small talk making them laugh feel comfortable but as soon as I
hand them the coupon its a look of death on their face. Also I'm
picking the most not giving a fuck cashier I can find at every
story. Is this simply just bad luck?

I've
been doing so bad lately on gc's. :( Of course the
self checkouts are awesome but any store without I'm getting maybe
1/10th of the time. I'm dressing nicely, engaging the cashier in
small talk making them laugh feel comfortable but as soon as I hand them
the coupon its a look of death on their face. Also I'm picking
the most not giving a fuck cashier I can find at every story. Is
this simply just bad luck?
That
depends, which stores in particular are you going to? At local &
regional stores you MIGHT get away with this the first time, but they're
usually pretty on top of their game when it comes to catching on and
having trained employees regarding the coupons. Big box stores are the
best to hit but it will usually be the luck of the draw. Sure many
things come into play, your demeanor, the way you dress, who you're
with, your SE skills, but you have much better odds at the big stores.
Area can be a factor as well sometimes. Maybe the area you're trying is
pretty burned up already, drive a ways out of there and see if your luck
changes.

right off the bat, i don't see haagen dazs or gladbags.. but I only have 3 zips that I downloaded. Maybe there is more?

Yesterday I was 0/5 at wallys. 0/2 at K's ect. I've been having more luck at grocery stores.
Does anyone know of any other chains that besides wallys that self checkouts pass without any human intervention?
-

You're
right about these not being in this update. Yesterday I downloaded 4
zip files, today only 3. I know yesterday's update included duplicate
files in each zip, so not having these duplicate files may have dropped
the number of archives.
Blue Bell is also missing, but I had to
edit the coupon because the amount off when scanned was wrong compared
to what the coupon said. I sent this coupon to GL, so hopefully it'll be
added later to the OC.
-
Thank you, PL, for getting me the updated OC links.
Through my own ineptitude, I haven't kept up with the updated link. Please have pity on a *scatter-brained stoner.
*I blame SativaSally's Skywalker and these little kief balls she gave me as a bonus.
Thank You

Just gotta say, I am Lovin' the Not Free! Collection! That thing w/
the gc in sc at Blue - whoah! Yeah! I am chomping at the bit, frustrated
that I am too busy w/ RL to get to a store ever, let alone the dozen a
day I'd love to pillage!
MC and AmEx are my new good-anywhere
FREE gas cards. OK, Not Free! but $8.95 to prime a bottomless
source of pre-paid cards is better than free!
Love it!

First off let me just give a HUGE thank you to GoldLotus for all
that his has done for me! I happened to order the OC, HC, and AC all
during his recovery from his car accident, which I was unaware of at the
time, and yet he still responded quickly and delivered what he
advertised and so much more! GL you are truly an amazing guy. Also,
thanks to all of those who help GL with things on the side, I am sure
there is a lot to keep this stuff up and going. Lastly, thanks to all of
you who have contributed so much to this thread, it's a great resource
and I have never come across such a nice and helpful group of people.
With all that said I thought I would share some of my success and failure stories.
OC
I've
only hit up the WM's around my local area and unfortunately none of
them have SC and I think they have all been affected by the remodel as
well because I often get the "CPN Scanned" message but nothing happens. I
have even tried to coach them along to scan it again but still no dice.
I have had a few cashiers just manually enter it out of pure
determination! Gotta love those ones!
Since I have only been to
WM I was curious how these work at other locations such as, Target,
Meijer, Kroger, and Giant Eagle. I know most of these stores are
regional but I was just seeing if any of you guys have had luck here?
AC & HC (Mostly AC GC's at K-Mart)
These
this are amazing but I think I am done with them for the time being.
I'm way to paranoid. I've hit up 9 different K-Marts. Out of those 9
only 3 failed and they all scared the crap out of me. At the other
6 I grabbed a $100 MC and $100 AMEX each time and if they had them, I
grabbed a $50 BP Gas. Let's just say I made some serious money.....These
stores must not be familiar with the coupons because must just scanned
them and went about their business. However, with the other three that
wasn't the case. The first store where I failed they ended up bringing
in a manager and they ended up telling me no while giving me some very
weird looks. Not that bad. A week later and a few miles apart came my
second failure. This one was pretty nerve racking. The manager ended up
bring out a big binder and calling me over to the CS desk and she looked
very pissed along with mumbling something about seeing these before. I
ended up just saying it was taking to long and leaving. The last and
most recent failure ended up with a ton of managers crowded around my
coupon and staring at me from the CS desk until the store manager ended
up coming out. Once again I said it was taking to long and I left. Scary
shit man. Even though I doubt anything will happen it's still too risky
for me so I think I'll stick to the OC. For the amount of time put in I
did make some damn good money though!
I also tried the offer for
the $200 off the PS Vita but WM's system wasn't having it. The cashier
in the electronics department was super excited and really wanted it to
work but despite trying it like 10 times, nothing. This was also brought
up the "CPS Scanned" message.
I tried some GC's at Walgreens, Giant Eagle, and CVS but not dice. I wasn't expecting much here anyway.
Just thought I would pass along my experiences. Hopefully maybe they can help someone.

I will say the OC is GREAT at Target. I usually only shop there because the staff is just much nicer than WalMart.
About
your 3 failed attempts, don't let those stump you. I have a low success
rate where I am because we don't have KMart. Just let it help you
figure out what not to do next. A lot of it is about body language. You
need to be able to portray yourself as trustworthy. Saying it's taking
too long and walking out is pretty suspicious. Stick with it. Give them
the survey story, and make it as if you spent hours working towards this
one coupon.
It's all about social engineering on the AC and HC. You'll learn the more you use the OC and Not Free Collection.
-
This is off the Coupon topic, but I trust you guys enough that you'll give me a good answer.
I'm
looking for a DMT vendor, but have no idea who to go through since I've
never gotten DMT on SilkRoad and there are a shit ton of vendors.
If somebody has purchased DMT on SilkRoad, could you recommend somebody?
GL
let me know if you don't want this posted on here. I'll gladly take it
down, just wasn't sure where else to post and don't want an vendor
advertising his own product. I want customer reviews.

Ok
well thanks for the input! I'll make sure to shop at Target since those
are nicer and much more readily available around my area.
As for
the AC and HC situations, not to sound cocky but I'm actually very good
at social engineering, plus I'm pretty clean cut and studly if I do say
so myself ;D. I always pick the best cashier and make sure to
chat them up with small talk but not nervous small talk. I make my
stories very believable and even they are rooting for me most of the
time since I play the "poor college kid with lots of time on his hands
doing surveys" card. The problem comes when they need to just get it
approved because it is such a high amount. They CSM instantly sees it as
a problem. I start getting paranoid because I have hit up many K-Marts
in this region and feel that they probably communicate between each
other when they have problems, such as $250 in GCs walking out the door.
That being said, all of these stores have cameras and I'm fairly easy
to recognize.
I know it's probably irrational but I think I'm
going to stick to OC from now on. The GCs are nice but I can do with out
them plus they have already paid for themselves ten times over so I'm
more than thrilled!
-
Since
I have only been to WM I was curious how these work at other locations
such as, Target, Meijer, Kroger, and Giant Eagle. I know most of these
stores are regional but I was just seeing if any of you guys have had
luck here?
Target
is my favorite location (although one has an overzealous Loss
Prevention team member that loves to hover around customers, typically
not me because I just use that one for small purchases, but staring down
elderly ladies... not cool!). It's nice, usually has everything in the
OC collection, and you don't seem out of place if you act and dress
decently.
Meijer, I can't make a complete call on it yet... I've
passed only a few coupons at a time and they've been fine so far, but I
have yet to make a big run. I hope Meijer pans out because I could do
ALL my shopping there. The Meijer's near me all have great selections of
produce and meat, unlike my Target.
Kroger, for me is a no-go.
They seem particularly skeptical of printed coupons in my area. Their
coupon policy on their site seems vague, all it references are digital
coupons and you need a Kroger card with your information to redeem them.
Now, I would assume those are just coupons loaded onto the rewards
card, but I don't know. You can find more information by googling for
their coupon policies.
Giant Eagle doesn't exist where I am, but it does exist in cities I frequent often, so I'll give it a shot once I get up there.
But if anyone has any other insight, I would really appreciate it!
EDIT: url tags are disabled, but you get the picture.
-
What is the procedure for getting the links for updated coupons?
-
what are some other good ways you guys have generated revenue $$$ in
hand? I know that GL used a lot of HC and sent them into Amazon to
sell, and I've sold some highly discounted items online, but that is one
but many ways one could make some dough.
I'm thinkin about
stocking up on ~ $10 items (that I plan on paying pennies on the dollar
for) and see if I can sell tons and tons a day without having to deal
with a single cashier or person.

Are
you using the Not Free! Collection? The totally free cards from the
other collections will likely need manager or employee approval at SC.

Load
up on all the energy drinks before going to any outdoor concert, and
sell in the parking lot. Usually make enough to cover tickets and booze,
plus whatever goodies you bring from the Road.

BLINDMAN!!!!!!!
we miss you brother! .....Hope you are well,I just blasted all with +1 from the last 2 pages.
Ogre karma is the best kind.
Peace
Hello
my giant green friend!! Hope you're still knocking Whole Paycheck over.
I've had to try a different store, but all the coups still work like a
champ. And TFB did a kick-ass job with the updates. I'm loving the new
images.
Hope you're feeling better these days, big guy!
And
I forgot to mention, but I have a GC for a massage place from Walmart.
Golden Lotus needs to pick up a couple of cards, make the appointment,
bowl up, and get a relaxing, healing massage. It'll help with your
recovery, or just for feeling really fucking relaxed.
-

Thanks for the props guru. If I ever decide I need some ganja I will keep you in mind.. I hear yours is top notch.
-
What is the procedure for getting the links for updated coupons?
Just shoot GoldenLotus a message on SilkRoad from the account you made your original purchase with.
Thank
you for all the reports on thew few I missed. Many of those were ones I
made on the fly and tossed in, so the templates are in different
locations than the bulk of my templates. Now I can go and track them
down, update them, upload them, and put copies with the rest of my files
to keep it organized in the future.
We made the file sizes much
smaller this time without compromising on print quality. That is the
main reason for there being less zips now, but I have atleast 6-7
coupons now that have been reported as still needing an update.
Thank
you everyone... I am actually feeling much better and not in pain
today. I still have to take it easy, but I'm starting to feel like the
worst is over and I'm coming along with the healing process. Lord knows
I'm excited to get back to 100% Lotus. While my body has not been
working as well, my mind has very much been sharp this entire time, so
I'm anxious to get some new ideas into place once I finish this game of
catchup.

I purchased OC and the HC from PURPLE lotus months ago.. Then there
was a ban and retiring I read about.. I thought it was all over.. Looks
like I have been under a rock.
Do I need to re-purchase the OC and HC? Or am I still a "member"? my old links don't work..
-
+1 for feeling better with less pain! And for the updates.
Are the expired sodastream or the new TP coupons in the update?
-
Anybody ever use the same coupon twice during a transaction?

Message GoldenLotus on SR and he'll get back to you pretty quickly.
-
Anybody ever use the same coupon twice during a transaction?
If
you mean print out two or three of the same coupon and buy three of
those products and use a product on each, then yes. I have done this
with a few things.
I'm not sure if stores have specific policies
about this, but I'd imagine they do. Just be sure not to go in the
negative totals because that throws up a red flag and requires a manager
override. If that happens just buy a pack of gum or something.

they said their policy was no duplicate coupons no matter if they are

the NF ones. I've only tried it at 2 locations though. One of them was a

"Cashier needs to activate" message.

Fuck.
On an AmEx or MC? I've picked up a half-dozen or so of them in the past
two weeks w/o a problem - no Wally employee approval required at all.
The Visas in my area's Wallies don't use either of the UPCs - they use a
350*** or something - so I haven't tested any of them.
As far as
lenient SC goes, I got through one very recently w/ GL Lottery coupons
totaling nearly $50 - WITHOUT MANAGER Approval! I had thought the limit
for SC was $25 total. I did have an employee manually entering two of
the FIVE HVAC filter coupons (the smaller size used a 1-digit-changed
UPC).
I wish I had time to hit more Wallies. I have a shit-ton of
shit in RL now (yeah, I know, like everybody), but I'm gonna try at
least one today. I'm not sure it has SC, though.
Try some
more Wallies, preferably in different areas. I've been meaning to try
more Harris T and Pbx, to see what their SC is like. Oh, God, I wish I
had gone back to that one bullseye SC I found. I bet it would have taken
all of my coups and blown me too!
-
The Not Free Collection will work on Self Checkouts at Walmart...
now a "Wally style" SC sounds like you tried a different store. Correct
me if I'm wrong. Each different store is going to have different ways
they enforce policies on SC. If anyone is aware or familar with some of
what works and what does not work at Non-Walmart SC's and would like to
share their experience, then we would all love to hear that kind of
information. You could just msg me personally if you are the type that
wishes to remain anonymous from the forums.
Update: I am feeling
much better... still not pushing my limits since I don't want to go back
to feeling pain, but it looks like I'm on a good road to recovery right
now. I immediately have to shift my focus on the last few OC coupons I
overlooked and then a full update of the HC collection. I know some have
lapsed in the HC and those will be addressed immediately. Thanks to
everyone for all their patience with me and these unexpected delays.
I've not only fallen behind on my SR responsibilities, but I've also
fallen behind on many of my RL responsibilities while I have been
healing.
I appreciate all of the support I've received from everyone,

Target's

the same coupon in a single transaction if you have 7 of that item.
After 7 the register will not accept any more.

Yes,
manager's will say just about anything we would.... so don't trust
them. Actually I always thought the policy at Target was any one coupon
up to four times... but I've done 10 times in one trip so it's really
just a matter of who is enforcing it.. the machine is not going to stop
it. As far as I know, Target for sure does not have a policy against
using the same coupon twice though... just bad luck on whoever made that
call.
Ugh, I get home... open up my bulk reply... type out 10
responses, hit enter... LOGIN SCREEN! Oh boy! Going to try to see if I
can't salvage this somehow.
-
I'm pretty sure you're right about the 4/item rule at Target,
GL. I remember reading that either on their site or one of your
posts and have been following it as a rule of thumb. But as the
above example shows, no one really knows the rules. If you say the
rule is 10/item and act like you're sure, it will likely work.
However, overdoing it might hinder future success.
Ahh,
it's been a while since I've popped my head in here. Good to be
back. I've got some reading to catch up on. Looks like you
crazy kids have been busy :D. Keep up the great work
everyone! And glad to hear you're getting better, GL!

and I would prefer the method that you're talking about. What do I need
to do/know?
Are
you using the Not Free! Collection? The totally free cards from the
other collections will likely need manager or employee approval at SC.
Yes,
the NF ones. I've only tried it at 2 locations though. One of them was a
Wally corral-style checkout, but no go. UPC matched, but I got the
"Cashier needs to activate" message.
Fuck.
On an AmEx or MC? I've picked up a half-dozen or so of them in the past
two weeks w/o a problem - no Wally employee approval required at all.
The Visas in my area's Wallies don't use either of the UPCs - they use a
350*** or something - so I haven't tested any of them.
As far as
lenient SC goes, I got through one very recently w/ GL Lottery coupons
totaling nearly $50 - WITHOUT MANAGER Approval! I had thought the limit
for SC was $25 total. I did have an employee manually entering two of
the FIVE HVAC filter coupons (the smaller size used a 1-digit-changed
UPC).
I wish I had time to hit more Wallies. I have a shit-ton of
shit in RL now (yeah, I know, like everybody), but I'm gonna try at
least one today. I'm not sure it has SC, though.
Try some
more Wallies, preferably in different areas. I've been meaning to try
more Harris T and Pbx, to see what their SC is like. Oh, God, I wish I
had gone back to that one bullseye SC I found. I bet it would have taken
all of my coups and blown me too!
Yeah,
I think you're right man. I just needed to find some more blue-stops.
Come to think of it, the SC where this didn't work out with the GC I
described (yeah GL, it was a blue store with a "corral-style"
rectangular SC layout) has been problematic in the past with simple OC
coupons. I'm thinkin that particular Wallfart is just a bit of an
asshole. Fuck them.
I will have more time in the future to look
this situation. I did discover another blue with a SC today, but
unfortunately they were all shut down at the time for who knows why. I
was pissed because the whole reason for me even bothering to find this
particular blue was to test out this SC/AmEx method for myself, and I
finally found one....but nope. I was so pissed, I snagged a $25 AmEx
anyway just out of principle.
So you can buy gas with these Amex huh?
Any Targets or any other big stores with Lotus-friendly SC?
-
"I was so pissed, I snagged a $25 AmEx anyway just out of principle."
HAHAHA,
I do the same thing. I always keep 5-6 coupons in my wallet, first as
back up, and second, to rob the mother fucker who denies me the first
time. You can spot me as the dude who's shaking his head while biting
his lip into a crooked smile and muttering, "Ok, fuck face, you wanna
play? Fucking game on, bitches!!", as I shuffle thru the parking lot.
Then I bowl up, and go right back in with different coupons and walk out
stoned and happy.
-
HA, fucking blindman... who the hell is going to tell you no? How do
you tell a blindman his coupons are no good?! You should just be
handing over square cutouts from the funny pages, and I bet you will do
just as well.
Yesterday I was talking security with one of our
buddies and he says "It's not like you are selling drugs that get people
high!" I said, "Who are you kidding? I definitely sell a drug and it
most definitely gets you high!"
In other news, I'm going to be
pushing HC updates and a few extra OC fixes this weekend. I've developed
a new concept and I was originally thinking... New Collection!! I guess
that's just the mind set I fell into when PL died and GL was no longer
raking in the same salary. At this point, I decided to restructure and
go ahead and just take this new concept and put it in as a free addition
to the Not Free Collection. That doesn't mean I won't immediately bump
the price up, this will simply demand it... but for all of my loyal
customers I'm not planning any extra charge if you already own the NF.
Lotus

Ooooh Yeah! It feels good having coupons again. I must say I do miss
egglands best, saralee bread, and silk milk.. Those were staples in my
shopping trips.
Also I am looking forward to getting the NFC and trying it with self checkouts in my area.

My local WM asked to see my id for a coupon that exceeded the value
of the item? Hmmm, guess they're catching on. It was $6 off Digornio,
item priced $5.47
-
What's up, Jack?
Yeah, I've had that happen to me before.
It's very, very rare... Luckily for me, I'm a grown man who rocks a fake
ID. I don't even believe they made a copy of it... not like my face
wasn't on camera already, but she just took it, walked to the manager,
showed him, and it was all good.
Lotus

If somebody tried to get my ID in a store I'd tell them to suck a
bag of cocks and get my ass out of there before anyone with actual
authority can show up.

The
AmEx seem fine for the full amount at the pumps. The MC has been more
finicky, but I've always been easily able to find somewhere to spend it
on gas, booze or what little of my grocery bill that the coupons don't
cover.
I did find an SC and walk out with a higher-value MC
yesterday. I had to show some balls, though. The damned scanner wouldn't
read the card's UPC on one lane. I had to blatantly ignore the live
cashiers before a working SC register finally opened up. (I wonder if I
was holding the card too close to the scanner. The UPC on the card is
several inches wide and I should have tried holding it way back from the
scanner.)
As far as other SC, my experience is limited to a
Harris and maybe a Pbx. I definitely want to try some of those again, or
anyplace else that sells or otherwise distributes ;) GC.
Rock On, Couponers!

Hello everyone! Big day for me.
1) got my 50 newbie posts!
2) FINALLY read through every page of this forum
3) broke even and went way profitable on the OC! - getting more comfortable by the minute
4) dropped the order on the NF Collection! - (BTW that order is still open....ahem!)
A
huge THANKS to GL for the coups and to everyone else here for the
guidance. I've learned a lot from you all and have already had
great success in the trenches because of your guidance.
Glad to part of this awesome community!

I CAN FINALLY POST ON THIS THREAD! Haha. Anyways I have been a long
time couponer back in the PL days. I have a couple questions regarding
the Not Free Collection.
So I finally found a Walmart 2 hrs from
me that has self check out. Actually there are 2 walmarts because one
was very close to that one. Anyways I was super pumped as I was ready to
leech the living hell out of these walmarts for GC. My plan was to
literally go in snag a $50 gc and go back in again and grab another one.
Rinse repeat atleast 5 times. I had planned on doing it today. I was
all set, I printed out about 30 of the $50 visa and amex GC of each UPC
code and $25 ones as well. I had no chance of failure. Well so I
thought. I got to the first walmart and my worst nightmares came true.
They had no $50 amex or visa cards. No $25 amex cards but they did hae a
$25 visa. SO I thought there was still hope. But then I look at the UPC
and it was a weird 303 upc code. No luck. So I go over to the next
Walmart and same thing. Either I'm just super unlucky or there is
another couponer near my area taking all the $50 GCs haha. Im not too
bummed though, I wont give up and I will try again next week.
So my questions are:
Does
anyone know when they generally tend to restock on GC? Also has anyone
tried the Not Free Collection at a Giant or Safeway self check out? They
seem to have every gift card imaginable so I thought I'd give them a
try but I didnt have any time today because of that long ass drive.
Thanks!

Hey buddy.
I noticed bread was completely absent from the

do you have one you are holding back?
also cannot find the Enfamil coupon.

Hey T4B,
I've been falling behind and playing catchup on just
about every aspect of my life the past month... Shit put things into
perspective real quick (well painfully slow, but effective). Thanks man,
I'm aware there are a few missing and my plans for this weekend are to
knock those out and then focus on the HC updates.
I start
feeling bad about myself when I'm falling behind on shit I should be
handling... I know I have a legit excuse and it it what it is, but I
swear today at work I was thinking (and feeling like shit) "Man, it's
been way too lonng since I've caught up with T4B!" Not to mention how I
feel about falling behind on the lottery listing.

Hey GL
Where is the egglands best coupon located?

There are several still missing from the OC which will be addressed
today. I've always been the type of dude to position myself with chicks
to where if they decide they want something serious, that they know I'm
going to be right here if things don't go according to plan. With that
being said, I had some of the best sex since my injury last night and so
I'm just now waking up. MY priorities are as follows: 100% finish the
"missing" OC files, then focus 100% on the HC, and then judging by how
much time I have between upkeep on the remaining collections, I will
bring the Lottery listing back to life with all the fresh additions and
hand out some prizes! Then it's 100% new content time. Brand new
templates, brand new concepts.... some free additions to the Not Free
collection are definitely in order, but as free additions and because of
how powerful they will be, I probably won't toss them out with the
brand new templates, those will be used to give people a fresh start
with the OC style coupons and then maybe around Christmas I'll expand
them to the more extreme stuff that tends to bring heat with it.

Hey gang,
I've had descent success with the NF GC's
at WM SC. I've been using 20/25 two at a time. I've read that WM
SC has a $50 coupon limit without requiring a csm. Can I use 40/50
or even 50/50 (free) at the SC without needing authorization?
Thanks 4 ur help.

Good question bud!
The $40/$50 works amazing at S.C. just
like the double 20/25 method accept with less activation fees. The FREE
anything will NOT work at S.C. without employee intervention.

Rock On, Couponers!
Thanks for your advice. I was able to snag 3 AmE'x via SC finally. SUCCESS!!!
The
3rd time was a little interesting. Before I paid, I noticed a "Please
give SC-cashier coupons before scanning". I ignored it and scanned
anyway. Everything was all good to go, except the machine wouldn't take
my cash. The clerk came over, asked me about it, and I said I used one
for the GC. She called manager over and he had to open the SC door (whre
the coupons are stored) and pulled out the coupon to view it. After
some inspection and a key-turn or two, they tx' went by. I'll know not
to go to that particular Bluefart again, but I know now that these DO in
fact work with the SC.
Thanks again!

Ok, BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
I just made a set of free additions to the NotFreeCollection.
These
are $49.99 off $50 Visa, AMEX, and Mastercard prepaid giftcards and
since they do not break $50, they are 100% tested as working at
Walmart's Self Checkout without employee intervention. Just be careful
because the employee standing at the screen can see all the
transactions. Grab a water to go along with your GC and then wait until
the attendant is distracted by someone or is just walking around away
from the screen. Make sure you have enough cash to cover the $4 fee and
also whatever item you might grab. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER COUPONS AT THE
SAME TRANSACTION! Just scan the card (the MC just requires a scan, while
the VISA and AMEX have you scan and then swipe it through the card
reader) and then scan the coupon, drop the coupon into the coupon slot,
click done, stick in your cash, grab your change... and BOOM gone
in 60 seconds!
DO NOT TRY THESE AT NON WALMART SELF CHECKOUTS
UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO FIND OUT IF THESE WORK AT
OTHER LOCATIONS!
While these additions are free to those who
already own the NF collection, the price is now being raised for future
customers because of the huge potential for profit to be made off of
these new additions.
Also for the VISA GC the 30324 UPC has been
added as it seems more and more common at Walmarts these days, a 99366
version is included so please be sure you have the right coupon for your
VISA card.
Can't wait to hear some feedback,

On the subject of other SC, I know that they are supposed to be
assholes, but I've had a few good trials runs at a couple or three
Krogs. I even got a lower-value gas card at a Kro SC this week. (7G7SO)
The
Krog SC attendant was the most trusting, diligent groc employee I've
run across in a while. If he had any doubt whatsoever as to the coup's
authenticity, he gave absolutely no indication of it.
And he
funking tried about a half-dozen times to manually input the card before
he finally got it. In retrospect, he may have actually been more stupid
than trusting. God bless his pointed head. I wish every grocery lackey
was as dumb as him.
The real news for me, I think, is that I'm
really starting to BELIEVE at a core level that these coupons are all
completely legitimate - at least, when I'm pulling the con. I've been at
it only a half-year, but thanks to the quality of GL's coupons, I have
the confidence of a veteran extreme couponer - the consumer who gets
what he wants and spends nothing!
-
+1 for making Abbie Hoffman proud :)
-
The store says they won't accept any coupons over 50% of the item
unless there is a "website" logo that verifies there is no fraud.
Any chance we can appease them?
The coupon policy for this store did have a policy that they can refuse any coupons at their discretion, without any reason.
-
Lotus thanks so much for helping us broke fucks out that have been getting fucked over by walmart for years.
I
tried a few today and they mostly all worked. The new bertolli said the
item doesn't match but I checked the barcode and they did. idk why it
didn't work if you could check it when you get time that would be dandy.
Everything else was Flawless. Peace!

We are still missing the enfamil update. Sorry lotus.
Here
you go brother. Obviously I need to be compensated to remain motivated
and do the work I do... but if ever there were coupons I thought
everyone should have access to regardless of their ability to pay, it
was these. I'll get on the American Spirits and add the Enfamil back in
the lineup shortly. These two coupons are free for anyone who took the
time to look at the thread, and has good use for them.

Been on vacation the last week. I've still got a few more days until
I'm back home, but I thought I'd check in on the family while I had
some free time. It's a good thing I did since I had to read through 5
pages for just under a week being gone. Damn you guys are chatty. :P
Lotus,
I let you know on SR message but since you asked on the forum I have
tried the $49.99 off MC at Walmart SC (square style) to no avail. The GC
scanned (didn't ask for swipe like other GCs hope this is normal), but
the coupon did not scanned. I tried three times on both the horizontal
and vertical scanner. I ended up just walking off with my transaction
still on the screen (didn't want to give the cashier a chance to see
that coupon). I only got a chance to try one Walmart, so I am assuming
it was just this one store.
On another note, Lotus where is my
apartment rent coupon/voucher? :P I've been looking for a place to live
and everywhere is hella expensive.

If
the "shopping" isn't going so well, I sometimes resort to an edible
(like Cheeba Chews!) to keep things (discretely) fun. But, the real high
is walking out with the goods, paying nothing and having an absurd
receipt ("...total 10% of retail price", "card activated...total
price = activation fee only", etc) to gloat and laugh about. And looking
at a full panty, refrigerator and freezer!
Thank You, handsoap, and Thank You, GL!

I'm downloading right now and I will try it out tonight if I can and report tomorrow.
I
learned to make my first coupon in 3 hours, and mastering it, well
that's still an ongoing process for me, but with my help, I can take you
way further in 3 hours than I was in weeks.
Has anyone had any
experience with the new Not Free collection, $49.99 off $50 Visa, MC, or
AMEX coupons in Walmart Self Checkout yet? Generally something like
this, doesn't get a lot of people coming and spreading the good word
about it... but if someone would kindly share their experience, I would
certainly appreciate that.

Have not posted in a while. Anyways, the OC still going strong.
The
CVS's are all burned in my area now. They all received the email about
the Gift Card coupons. Need to try a different city and see what
happens.
Office Depot/Office Max all work good still. Been hitting them up for the Amazon gift cards with no issues.
Thanks for updating the collections GL.

around, she was right there, so I played it off as if I was asking for
her help. The scanner recognized it was a coupon, but kept asking over
and over to scan it. Clerk tried ringing me up at her station, but no
luck. She was all for me and very helpful, but she said she'd have to
call a supervisor or something to enter it. AT that point I said "Thanks
for your help but I have to pick up my son in a few minutes, I will
return later". She said OK, and gave the coupon back.

Ok, this is rare, but today I am asking you all for a tip on
couponing! HA, my brain isn't recalling something. For those of you who
have had issues with Target not properly accepting coupons like Tide,
Pampers, Red Bull, and maybe a few more... I know the issue has to do
with only one of the two barcodes and that if you talk the cashier into
trying the other barcode, it works just fine. Does anyone recall which
barcode scans correctly? I want to think it's the GS1 that works and not
the UPC but I'd like to verify that. And once I identify which one it
is, I will be remaking these few coupons to always work from this point
on.
Thank you,
Lotus

What's up lotus family? Just spammed my ass to 50 to get here after I
finally got through all 126 pages of this thread lol. I wanted to thank
GL/PL for the great coupons! Additionally, I want to thank everyone on
here for the great information you've provided! I've owned the OC for a
couple of months, bought the NF when it came out (love the new additions
btw) and also have the lessons. The OC alone has paid for all of these
collections and I couldn't be more thankful for it. Also, the lessons
are the best investment anyone could possibly make because they allow
you to make coupons for anything you want in 20 or so minutes once you
get the hang of it. I plan on buying the lottery listing soon because
I've got a few coupons to share and I'd love to see more of this
communities work!
Now that I'm through with introductions, on to
my tales. For the most part I only really mess around with the OC. That
being said I have a 100% success rate using it as a whole and a 95+%
rate with any given coupon at any given store. I've only used these at
big blue, bulls eye and see vee ess because they're the only companies
in my area I have no problem taking from.
On my first trip, to
the T, I bought a lighters, pens, baggies, just to test everything out. I
went up to a young black female employee who looked like she really
didn't want to be there. I was a bit nervous but after she scanned all
the items, I handed her the stack of coupons and she started to scan
them without really looking at them and I was instantly relieved. Well,
(un)fortunately the foodsavers were on sale for 9.99 and the coupon is
10 off so a CSM had to come over and manually type in 9.99 off and took
the coupon and was good to go. Even the CSM didn't seem at all concerned
with the fact that I was getting $20+ worth of stuff for pennies. I
ended up paying like .60 in cash and walked out smiling. From then on I
was hooked.
Later that week I found myself at Wally world ready
to kick some real ass. Loaded up my cart with 11 items worth just over
$100 and marched my ass over to another female, black and bored
employee. I had 10 coupons worth about $85 (which I didn't realize was a
bad call) so again I had a CSM confrontation but she just turned the
key and left. I walked out paying about $15, $5 of which was a non
coupon item. The OC truly works wonders for me and I've never really had
a problem with it. EVERYONE should buy it!
As for the NF
collection, I have only tried some of the higher value tech items like
the roku and the WD HD. I've tried 2 Ts and one wally and was shot down
all 3 times. I gave them the story about how I only work part time so I
do surveys online in my free time and the more I do, the more I collect
points which can be cashed out for discounts on their affiliate's items.
At all 3 stores I was able to get the cashier to believe my story and
scan the GS1. All 3 times, the screen prompted them for a manager. All 3
times I gave the manager the same speech with the cashier on my side.
And all 3 times the manager's said something to the tune of "We've heard
about a lot of these survey sites and while some of them are
legitimate, the great majority distribute coupons that they are not
authorized to. So unfortunately, we can't take this coupon unless we
have a way to verify that we can redeem it for the stated value." At the
Ts, I couldn't really do anything because their policy says they can
refuse any coupon for any reason and they weren't going to let up. At
wally I tried to say that nowhere in their coupon policy did it say they
could refuse my coupon unless they know it to be illegitimate. He
looked at a book of fakes to compare it to and while he didn't find it,
he said it looked too similar to many of the fake coupons going around
and he wasn't going to take it so I called it a day.
I haven't
used any of the NF coupons since then because the last experience shook
me. Although I would like to try some of the GCs if I can find a SC in
my area. I am white, college age, no tattoos or piercings, well educated
and moderately handsome if I do say so myself :P . Any reason I'm
striking out with these higher value coups? I'm printing them in full
color on regular printer paper and they look beautiful. I don't love the
idea of using higher end papers/holograms as I feel it sort of kills my
deniability. Any tips in terms of a better story or a better method?
To
end on a positive note however, I'd love to talk about the lessons. I
have limited skill with things like photoshop but this guide makes
everything so incredibly easy. I've made 3 or 4 coupons for toiletries
that I use regularly and aren't contained in the OC. All of which work
flawlessly. The guide took me about an hour to read through and then it
took me about an hour to create my first coupon. Since then, I can churn
them out in about 20 minutes. Everyone should buy this!
Thanks
again lotus and thanks to the whole lotus family for providing such a
valuable resource for those of us who use these coupons. And to anyone
in doubt, now's the time to buy because you can't lose money on these
coupons.

Canwefixit, I believe Target has a $50 cap on single coupons.
That might be part of the issue you were running into there. As
for Walmart, keep trying. You'll get some to stick. It's a
numbers game.
The other big tip I can give is to act
entitled. Toe the obnoxious line. If it's not working assure
them that it DOES/WILL work. If they start protesting more, get a
little frustrated. "It says manufacturer's coupon right
here. It's basically cash for you. Send it in, they refund
you. Your coupon policy says you take all manufacturer's
coupons. What's the issue?" Stay polite, but KNOW that
you're using legitimate coupons. It's like George Castanza says,
it's not a lie if you believe it.

The UPC, the one most cashiers are drawn to is the one to raise a red
flag (screen). That is when they scratch their head and start to look
around for help and you say, there seem to be two, have you tried both?

UPC is the one that has issues. Even for gift cards. I have them scan the Databar and that works.

The Chromecast can be ordered online today, but we won't see it in

1. Just show up with $32 off coupons on release day of a $35 item. I'll
check out that UPC code, but I already ordered one today just for the
ability to pull the UPC and then just give it to the next person I see
who clearly needs it.

Hey GL,
In the OC collection, I still don't see a coupon for a 12 pack of coke cans.. can you add that one in please?
-
Yes, one of our people was kind enough to compare the sets and make a
comprehensive list of everything I need to redo. It's about a dozen
coupons and moving forward I'm doing a much better job of keeping things
organized. I'm also going to redo the few ultra popular coupons like
Tide and Rockstar that Target has started to block their UPC from
working. I'm going to take them to GS1 only and moving forward I think
all new content will now be GS1 only... it just works. You'll notice
real coupon companies have made the same change to GS1 a lot of the time
now.
Not to sound like a crying baby, but besides falling behind
on my SilkRoad responsibilities for the past month while my body
healed, and I've also fallen behind on every one of my other real life
responsibilities, but my personal goal is to have that complete this
weekend along with a full set of AC EXP updates. It's an ambitious goal,
but would make me feel a lot better if I knocked it out like that.

Heres a thought. I got a coupon from MycokeRewards.com and it was

Just got back from a trip to a semi-local bullseye and was told
specifically that the $5 off gatorade included in the OC collection is
in their computers as no good, time to fire up PS!
On a side note
here is a little morsel for all you extreme couponer's if you have the
kit try using what is known as print stock copy a sheet from a magazine,
pick one that has about 75% typed print. Now take some of the premade
OC coupons that utilize the newpaper/magazine type coupons, and print
them on the backside of the sheet you just printed. Now, go crazy! Every
single spot I've tried them works, period. Even if they fail to scan
the manager/csm take one look/feel and they override the register. After
all it has to be this damn cash register, pos acts up all the time,
lol!
Seriously if you have not bought the kit, just do it. Damn near the same as printing money.

No,

It's already made the way I am explaining. I'm explaining it for those

You sir, have not looked at the $49.99 off
coupon, and if you have, then you have no business using it. There is
only one barcode on there. Sorry for conducting myself like that, the
reality is I owe the community a huge favor, and even more I owe would
be members a favor too and I need to compose a comprehensive FAQ for new
users. It's in no way fair to an interested buyer that they have to
read this thread in order to gain the knowledge they want... do I think
people should read this? Yes, but it's not necessary, and it's my
responsibility to make sure it isn't necessary and that after someone
purchases from me, it's quicker and easier to master than we currently
sit.

This
is a great idea. I think there are some folks on here who def. know
their shit who could add in addition to you GL. What about doing some
sort of compilation thread...let everyone contribute their "Do's and
Don'ts and FAQs", then you be the Golden arbiter for the final list. For
obvious reasons, such a proposition would be done on a separate thread
:)
-
First thing is first, your ultimate success or failure with these
depends alot on not only getting comfortable using the OC or lower
denomination regular grocery coupons first. You will not only gain the
needed boost of confidence but if your apt to paying attention when you
run these you are sure to gain all kinds of useful information from the
clerks/csm's even more so when the run into problems. Think outside the
box, if your paying attention to what the issues are you can use that to
tweak your game for a bigger haul next time!
I can not
stress enough the value of the kit GL sells, ok I'll try. Just imagine
how comfortable it is knowing that even if the csm takes my coupon to
his book/ledger or even the interwebs, knowing he will find diddly
because I'm the only one that has EVER used this because I make them new
every couple weeks to keep them from going stale!
-
So it's been maybe 2, 3 weeks since I bought the OC pack, and I'm
very satisfied with the results. Like I said before, I have no use for
the food coupons as I have a very good organic grocery store that I
dumpster dive at. I use the Burt's Bees, POM Wonderful, laundry soap,
detergent, lysol spray, lysol disinfectant wipes, batteries (AWESOME
COUPON!), and windex. I've used them only at Target and have had a 100%
success rate. I will probably purchase another coupon pack in the next
couple of weeks, but I'm not sure which one yet. Just thought I'd let
everyone know that those ones have worked so far :) Happy couponing!

Welcome
to the community. At the big box retailers they will scan a coupon
which is over and the extra will be used to bring down your total. I
actually got change back once... without paying a cent. I do not
recommend this as it raises unneeded attention.

GL. But I meant printing from SmartSource, Coupons.com, RedPlum to PDF.
I of course have Adobe Acrobat Professional but the online coupon sites
don't allow you to print to PDF only a physical printer. I tried to
pause my printer queue, print the coupons then change the port to a PDF
port. That was recommended somewhere on the Clearnet but it didn't work.

Fuck
the CIC... I just think Target is targetting certain UPC codes to go
along with certain amounts off... No UPC and no problem. I could
continue to change the amounts, but eliminating the UPC seems to be the
way to go since almost everyone takes GS1 now.

Can someone tell me generally the size that their coupons are when
they print them? With the update and the single coupons, when I put them
in my text editor to print them, they are all the pixel size, so I have
to drag them to a smaller size. I think I'm been doing around 6.5" wide
and maybe 2-3" tall? I'm just curious to see what the most convincing
size would be.

drag them to a smaller size. I think I'm been doing around 6.5" wide and
maybe 2-3" tall? I'm just curious to see what the most convincing size
would be.
This
might be a good FAQ item. Typically what I do is, open my coupon in
windows preview. Press Ctrl-C to copy it. Then I open Microsoft Word and
press ctrl-V. If I want a page of the same coupon I will press enter
and ctrl-v 2 more times, or I can mix and match and have several
different coupons on the same page.. But as for the size I find it is
perfect as it is and I don't need to resize it at all.

Hey GL please get back to me I have purchased the OC HC and lottery
packs but all the coupons are now expired and my links no longer
work. Please help.

Also
if anyone beats me to the Google Chromecast UPC, let me know. I want to
get a coupon for that the second it hits shelves in stores.
I might even work on a full page ad ahead of time for it. Seems like a pretty great gift for people.

This is available on the google play store so you can just use the google play GC if you want to.

perfect as it is and I don't need to resize it at all.
Maybe
it's just the text editor I use, but when I copy and paste into my
document, it pastes the pictures at their full resolution, meaning only
2/3s of the coupon shows up, then I just drag and resize to a size that
will fit on the page. For the most part I just strive to make sure it'll
easily slide into a self-checkout coupon slot while still having great
quality (I always test using an iOS app before ever using them). Could
you maybe tell me what the size is of your coupons when you copy and
paste it, using the rulers on the top and left of the page in Word?
Anyway,
I've heard some people interested in hearing if Meijer was viable for
couponing.I went to two today, armed with a few OC coupons a piece.
The
first I went with a cashier, it was relatively busy, and she scanned
the coupons and didn't even think twice. It went very smoothly, and I
wouldn't suspect there to be any problems going to Meijer and using
human cashiers unless you had something that didn't scan, or other
issues that would normally attract attention at other stores.
The
second I went through the self-checkout line, and I would perhaps be
wary of using the self-checkout line at Meijer. I actually only used one
coupon, and it scanned perfectly; however, it asks you to enter your
Meijer account number or just slide the coupon into the coupon slot. I
obviously didn't want the coupon to be associated with my identity, so I
just put it in the slot and continued checking out. Unfortunately,
forgoing the Meijer account makes it necessary for the attendant to walk
over and approve your final transaction. The attendant was uninterested
and entered in her information, so it's not very risky, but it's not
like Wally World, where I've just scanned, checked out, and left without
having to deal with anyone.
Would you guys think having a Meijer account (or three) with all fake info would be a good way to expedite the process?
Also,
what's the deal with returns? I haven't had any plans to do this, but
was curious as to whether you could buy items with coupons, "lose the
receipt" and return it for cash as per a store's return policy
(typically within no less than 30 days). I was curious because I was
couponing out of town today and thought that it'd be convenient to get a
couple items and as I got back to my locale, swing by a store on my way
home and return the item for some extra cash. I'm assuming this
would've been already done if it was a good idea, so I'm not
particularly optimistic about it as a concept.

A tip for those who may not know. A self checkout (the

Trust
me I'm intelligent enough to not have it link back to me. I'm not
trying to commit major fraud or anything. I'm trying to help them
lose traceability. Though I don't know much about how these cards
are tracked I would rather not have them in my possession with video of
me spending them all around town. When purchasing I use a sort of
disguise, nothing to over the top that would have me lose plausible
deniability, but enough that video alone couldn't reveal my
identity. This isn't practical always though like when with
friends, spending them. Also, since I don't always need to use
them right away I'm afraid of them getting nuked, but I'm not a wasteful
person in nature so If I don't need to spend them I don't.
-
IF you don't need to spend them, don't buy them... So far only VISA
has nuked anything and you have plenty of time to spend them as long as
you use them the same day. I've been holding mastercards just fine with
no issues.
I would not worry about anyone "tracing" you. We have
been doing this for a long time without ever experiencing that issue.
They aren't tracking people down over one card when there are hundreds
of them to deal with. They are giftcards, by definition they are not
used by the same person who bought them. To answer your question, yes
these do work on those cards where you have to give them your social,
etc... and if you somehow have a method for doing that safely, then by
all means go ahead... but it's not something to ask questions about on
this thread because it's not something we encourage and I have not heard
of anyone ever doing that before. If you use someone elses name and
SS#, then you are putting yourself at a way higher risk, and at the
moment you seem to be trying to reduce risk, but I think you are
increasing it with that kind of method, but only you know what you are
really capable of and maybe you just want to use an ATM... but those
have cameras too, and coupons and identity fraud are two totally
different things, and I'm not advising it for sure.
I got about
10% of the AC finished yesterday before I was suddenly railroaded by a
friend who was telling me she wanted to hurt herself because of a recent
breakup, so I just invited her over and shut the computer off. I'm
going to take time out of this week and complete it. No worries there,
but I had to realize that some things are more important than coupons,
especially when we all are sitting here with options. I'm catching up
now that I'm healing better, and I think my progress so far in that has
still been up to standards considering. Once I'm back in full force,
this won't ever be an issue. (knock on wood, because accidents do
happen)

The $49.99 off GC coupons DO indeed work in the SC at Blue. I can't

Well played sir... that has been my exact experience so far. The
attendant is constantly distracted by something, or they simply just
dont give a fuck and are walking around counting the seconds until they
get off work. So far I am 10 for 10 with the $49.99 ones.. but I could
seriously just quit selling on SR, get an RV, and drive across the
country and make better money.
All I need is a bad bitch, a bunch
of one dollar bills for the selfcheckout, and some of SativaSally's
SkyWalker... and then I can go see the entire country, not only free,
but well paid to do it. I'll make sure to come by and visit
everyone.... Blindman, BruceCampbell, another one of my favorite
vendors FarmGuy, Shrek, VISA, TurkeyForBreakfast, Dev, and the list goes
on and on... you can bet your ass I'm going stop by on kitkat and hit
that and then someone is going to have to check in on wraithe and make
sure he is still alive... I'll be making that trip. If I ever heard from
Glitch or JustBob anymore, I'd be going hang out and dropping $50
giftcards on all kinds of shit.

How many gc could you get in one transaction PLGL ???
Would
the PoS allow for 3 gc in one transaction or should one break it up ?
Anyone else try ? Just curious, if no answer I'll test myself and let
you know tomorrow.
-
No, no, no... don't test yourself, unless you want to get fancy and
find out what the limits are at some other store to help people out.
Anything that tops $50 in savings will need assistance. So if you use
two coupons which stay under $50 total, you are fine, but in the case of
the $49.99 coupon... you can only use one per self checkout
transaction. Nothing stops you from going back in to the store,
especially if you choose a Walmart with self checkouts on both ends of
it... but that's at your discretion.

I
agree, this is a bad idea. The first time I pulled a GC, I walked into
one of the major chain drug stores and slapped three of them on the
counter with three coupons. I had a good story and they were brand new
on the scene. I was able to get it pushed through, but I had to explain
it to the cashier and store manager. Then had to stand there for almost
15 minutes, smiling and chatting on the outside while sweating bullets
on the inside. The manager was running around looking at the coupons,
showing them to others, making phone calls. Finally he came back and
pushed them through.
You are not me and even I would never do that again. My advice is to be as safe as you can.

Does anyone know what coupon is used at Walmart for Visa/MC/Amex cards? 76750 or 99366 or something else?

Hi Everyone,
I bought the three main coupon collections, If
I'm not mistaken I believe it's OC, NF, and HC. I don't want to go into
to much detail about my escapades and bore you guys to death. Long story
short; the OC is phenomenal had a couple hiccups with NF GC's but
nothing to major. The 49.99 off MC are amazing.
With that being
said I feel like I can rack up a couple of those MC GC's and buy stuff
with them of course nothing that will lead back to me. However I was
wondering if anyone has a more efficient way of turning those GC's into
hard cold cash. The only way I can think of is to rack up a few of them
purchase some kind of electronic and flip it on ebay, craigslist or
whatever.
Does anyone have a more efficient way of flipping these GC's into cash?
P.S.
Thanks for everything GoldenLotus, absolutely fantastic guy. I know you
get "Thank you's" all the time but yeaa... one more couldn't hurt.

I have been using the OC for about a month now. Mostly everything on
there works great. The only time i I have problem is in places like
Walmart and Target and Stop and Shop. Sometimes they don't work (but
they DO work at places llike CVS and walgreens) I guess because walmart
has better security than CVS. The ones that dont work at walmart work at
CVS, I actually I never had any problem using a coupon at a CVS yet.
Only the bigger stores. They are almost all expired so I was wondering
how we get the updated ones
-
The 99366 is for Walmart, accept many times you will find a VISA
that starts with a 3 and I went ahead and covered that one this time too
with the $49.99 off coupons I added recently.
As far as those of
you who are waiting on AC updates... they will either be released today
or tomorrow... if that deadline does not get met than I can gaurantee
the weekend and also if I do have to wait that long, then anyone who
bought the AC in the last 16 days can message me for an absolutely free
copy of the Not Free Collection. Otherwise, those of you who aren't
brand new to this, I hope ya'll understand the issues I've had this past
month and can just be happy with how things have gone so far and know
I'm not going to let you down and I'm gonna handle business and I'm
coming back harder and stronger than ever now that I'm catching up on
everything that feel behind while I healed.
As far as Walmart SC
styles, I've seen them all and only one out of the 10 stores I visited
when out of town was some kind of old system, completely different, and
would not accept the coupon. Otherwise I've been issue free.
Msg
me for updates, the OC and HC is up to date, so come talk to me in
private if you aren't able to access anything you paid for.

The

randomly has issues with everything. The problem is on their end and
not with the work. It is completely arbitrary and has nothing to do with
the validity of the coupons as it will reject completely legit coupons
as well as ones of questionable origin. Just give them a hard time if
they try not to accept them. Their policy is to take them, no matter

The $49.99 worked at WM SC except I got stopped and the clerk ran
over, asked me if I had already dropped the coupon into the slot to
which I answered yes, then she called over her supervisor which was
another young lady which happened to be working in the immediate
vicinity. She looked at the screen, asked me where I got the coupon, I
told her it was awarded to me at a survey site...she just nods and tells
the SC clerk that "yeah, those are fine...as long as they scan they're
good."
I don't think the register did it, I think I just got
unlucky that the SC clerk happened to be looking at her screen at the
time and freaked when she saw the large amount come off so she went to
investigate. I'll try a different SC within the next few days.

The links all work fine for me. I will get with T4B in private and
see if we can't figure it out. I'm not sure what's going on with his
end, but I see no issue... if there is an issue, then it's likely just
maintence.
I really don't appreciate a full page of people
complaining about links being down and about coupons that aren't even
mine.. Let's be real clear, the Lottery coupon is all submissions from
the community, if there is an issue with one of them then please direct
it to the Lottery thread I created. When you come on this thread and
start complaining about a coupon, then the casual reader will expect
that it is my coupons you are complaining about. I understand I have
fallen behind keeping up with the Lottery, as I have fallen behind with
almost everything in my life since my accident. Now I'm much better and
playing some hardcore catchup in all aspects of my life. There are some
legitimate issues which need to be addressed on my end, and I don't feel
as though I need to explain them (like the POM for example) ...
wouldn't you rather I just focus on fixing the issues??? But as most of
you who have been with me before this thread ever existed know that I
once worked with a partner... this was a good thing and gave us more
content, but yes, some mistakes were made and I was put in a spot where I
was no longer with that partner, no longer at 100% health, and I did
the best I could to recover and I'm currently working hard to make a
full recovery so we can move on to the next big thing.
All I know
is... the next person who complains about a Lottery coupon on this
thread, or the next person who I publicly say that the links are fine
and please PM me about the issue, and if I don't respond quick enough
you come repeat yourself on the thread... then you can go without my
services and get the fuck off this thread. If you don't appreciate my
work, and what I do, then get the fuck out... if I and/or my listings
have not lived up to what you paid for them, and you have found yourself
to regret the purchase, then come ask me for a refund and then leave me
the fuck alone.
The fact is, I'm not going to let people down,
and I'm going to come back stronger than ever and all of our lives will
continue to improve as they have for the past year and a half together. I
know everyone here has improved my life immensely. I've made amazing
friends and been able to share great stories and hear about how all of
this has made great things happen.
I'm as frustrated as anyone is
when there is an issue, believe me... I can't help what has happened
the past month in my life and I'm asking that even the people who are
inclined to bitch and complain no matter what I do, please just cut me
some slack and give me a couple weeks. I got this shit. But for Christ's
SAKE!!! IF YOU KEEP BITCHING WHEN SHIT IS ALL GOOD AND WE ARE ALL STILL
DOING AMAZING THEN HOW ARE THE NEW USERS SUPPOSE TO KNOW HOW FUCKING
AWESOME WHAT WE HAVE IS! AND THEN WE DONT HAVE NEW USERS AND THEN I DONT
GET COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME AND THEN I ANSWER 50 MSGS A DAY FOR NOTHING
AND THEN I QUIT AND MOVE ON...
"many coupons are off" GO FUCK
YOURSELF! Now all of your coupons are off. T4B should have told you to
shut the fuck up and direct your complaints to the lottery thread... as
for your other complaints... go fuck yourself again... in my position,
thats about all I can say, and then go back to working for the people
who appreciate it, especially the ones who depend on it.
No
worries, I have things under control... but in the meantime could we
please keep the front page of the thread at least half way positive so I
can be paid while I handle up on things? If I earned and deserve more
complaints than I do praise, then it's time for me to step down. Anyone
want my throne?

come to me... What does this accomplish? No one is going to message you
with the working links because we don't support scammers here.
Just
approach me, I'm a good dude to work with, shit's just weighing on me
right now... I'm slow to keep up with all the messages. I'm in the
process of grooming a new partner, especially now with the new sub
vendor accounts. This thing has gotten too big and I need the
assistance. I won't let it all fall apart though, because CHRISTMAS 2013
is coming!

EDIT: I guess I need to go apologize
because I just sent him the correct link and then told him to go fuck
himself... lol I'm sorry about that... just needed to blow off some
steam. Looks like I have a pretty heavy issue I created that now I have
to make right. Luckily I'm known for doing just that. Sorry bud, I lost
my cool on you.

I tried a new store today. I won't be going back there but luckily I
had a good experience. I saved $40 out of $60 having bought one
or two things I had no coupons for. I went through the self checkout and
it wouldn't scan for shit, rejected a few I never had trouble with. I'm
not sure if they have some sort of odd limitations in their system or
what. Anyway, the attendant was more than happy to take all my coupons
whether they scanned in or not, and enter them manually.
I then went down the street to the chain I usually hit for self checkout, and as usual, zero problems. $7 for $45 worth of shit.
I'm
still waiting for some of those damn walmart self checkouts to be
installed in my area. There are 10+ walmarts within an hour of here, not
a single damn one has them.

The passion the fire. Loving it Lotus. Hope you get to
feeling better soon man. Anyone that hasn't purchased these
collections yet, quit thinking about it and purchase now, purchase them
all and purchase the new ones when they come out. These things
will change your life. Looking forward to that AC update.
Still need to get around to buying that lotto listing, never enough
extra btc's lol.
Long live the LOTUS!!!!

HAHA I feel kinda bad that it all came out at ready2roll. He didn't
deserve that, I just held a bunch of shit in and finally it all spilled

No worries, we got this shit.

Guys, you have to realize...
PL is a very busy man dedicated to his work...
But
he also has a LIFE! Everyone needs to let off a little steam and
express themselves every now and then. Frankly I think PL's frustration
is understandable!
Sometimes I feel we need to spend a little more time thanking him & less time reporting links/ complaining.
Bottom line PL IS STILL HERE, WITH A CULT FOLLOWING, DOING HIS FUCKING THANG!
Shit will get worked out whatever your problem might be, but reposting and nagging is not the answer!

The $6.50 off POM Wonderful GS1 coupon hard coded expiration date was yesterday. At least according to my phone app.
I
have 2 POM in my set and both had coded expirations.. One was November
30th and the other was August 30th. I can fix them if you need
them, but check again and make sure the decoder is not wrong..
Can I ask which app are you all talking about?

Alright so here is my first review:
Before I made any
purchases I read several pages of this forum, not understanding why
people pay for coupons. I got the OC about a week and a half ago. I took
a leap of faith ($50) but when I saw the coupons I knew they would work
well. About an hour later I went out to the store and bought a blender
bottle. I was quite nervous (the same feeling as using my fake ID) but I
tried not to show it. The bottle cost $6.99 and the coupon was for $6
off :). I got the "coupon high" and was quickly hooked.
I used
them on the Lindt chocolates at a Rite-Aid. I wasn't thinking and forgot
to match the first five digits of the UPC. Later that same day I bought
Trojans for cheap at Safeway. 6$ off $12 condoms still needed CSM
approval. Fuckin Safeway.
Several days later I went back to the
same Safeway (with a different CSM) and used the MasterCard $49.99 off.
The CSM was really cool and asking me how he can get one of those
coupons. I told him swagbucks pays to fill out surveys and watch ads
haha. Got through with no issues. Took maybe two minutes to enter, pay
the transaction fee and leave.
Just recently went back again and
got a little greedy. Used an AmEx and MC with the coupons at the SC with
a CSM I haven't seen before. Luckily they were busy today and after a
lot of standing around she approved my coupons. Walked out $100 richer. I
think I've burnt that Safeway for now.
Now to the questions that have probably been asked but I looked through 20+ pages and still didn't find anything:
Is it safe to check the balances of the cards w/o Tor. More specifically on my phone?
I've been told not to order things off the internet with them. Why?
What about iTunes and Xbox cards. Those connect to your Apple ID and Xbox Gamertag so why do people use coupons for those?
How paranoid are you guys about being tracked?
Anyway,
just wanted to say that GL is THE MAN! Excellent, fool-proof product.
We had a little bit of a mix-up but he more than made up for it. To
anyone deciding whether to purchase, look no further. Best customer
service I've dealt with anywhere. Feel better GL

Just checking in....
Thanks to GoldenLotus for the processing getting through and T4B for the karma and help!
Just confirming links are still down...I will report shortly if situation changes....
Mr.Black

Well I have never had any issues with iTunes or Xbox cards... I give
them out to friends all the time with no issues. So considering the
amount of cards we all have raked in and then the amount that we all
gave away to friends and family and basically we just used them to
brighten people's day... I think it's safe to say there are more people
who are not us out there with them than those of us who actually used
them on ourselves.
I give the $50 Mastercards (Mastercard is my
new favorite because at Walmart you don't even need to run it through
the scanner, it activates just by swipe) away to people all the time
too. You can't use these to purchase things off the internet. Not that
we would suggest it, but if you read the fine print on the cards you
will find out that you can't.
As far as how paranoid we are about
getting tracked, well I feel pretty confident that all of us have those
moments where we play things out in our minds about how this might get
back to us, and get a little paranoid. No one is being tracked harder
than me, and I'm right here talking to you. I don't think there needs to
be any worry about a situation where you try to imagine how it could
possibly get back to you and be proven that you knowingly used a coupon
you knew to be not real and then get into any kind of serious trouble
for it.
Anyways, just dropping in, I have to run... this weekend should be exactly what I need to make some serious ground caught up.

Thanks
for answering the questions. I was thinking maybe it was because I used
the full page XBL ad instead of the new one, whoops. I compared the two
codes and the GS1 on the new ad is slightly different, that may have
been the issue.
I recall people saying that VISA's get nuked but MC and AmEx don't. Is that still true?
Is cardstock the best choice for printing HC coupons?
I'm
gonna be going on a very long drive tomorrow so I will get my first
taste of Wally Worlds. Planning on stopping by roughly 15 self checkout
stores and using the $49.99 off coupons. Is that too much or will I be
safe. Planning on spreading them out throughout a 200+ mile drive.
Good luck catching up!

I understand that GL is very busy right now so maybe someone else
can throw me some assistance? I have purchased the OC from GL maybe
somewhat about a month ago. Most of the coupons have expired now. I was
really just wondering how I can obtain the new, up to date ones (if they
even exist). Please don't misinterpret this post as a complaining or
nagging because that is definitely not what I am doing. I am very
patient and understand that people have things to do but maybe I'm
missing something. Is there suppose to be a link I should have to be
able to access them? I am just a little clueless as to what is going on
at the moment and need to be filled in. Thank you to everyone who has
spent their precious time and efforts helping others in this forum. I
really can feel the good vibes everyone brings in!

No issue brother!! Send GL a PM at silkroad for the updated OC before the weekend.

Quick question!
I have successfully used the 50$ off a 50$
Amex card at the self checkouts at WM. I took a break for a few weeks
and now the coupons beep then a message saying set the coupon to the
side for deposit later but it does not discount the item!!! Any ideas??
-
L2D: I'd been to about 10 different Walmart's by the time I was
ready to release that coupon. With one of them being an older version of
the self checkout software/hardware... it was evident because it looked
older and the rest of them all basically have the same GUI and this one
did not. It gave me the same issue you are talking about now...
eventually I just waved the attendant over and told her to take the
giftcard out... she even tried making the coupon work, and told me she
could call a manager, but I declined and said I would just use it at
another store.

I took care of it. Thank you and VISAHATE.
I'm
getting kind of excited about the prospect of doing absolutely nothing
this weekend besides locking myself in the computer room and putting in
work on coupons and SR. I love what I do here and I love doing it. I get
cranky when things cause me to fall behind, so I'm as excited as anyone
to play catchup here and return back to the PurpleLotus mentality where
I can feel good about myself because I'm doing great things here. If
I'm healthy, meeting all of my real life responsibilities, and doing a
great job as a vendor on SR then my life is good and happy.
Links
are still down, but that is out of my control. The entire hosting
service I use is down at the moment, so it's likely maintenance or
something, but I was thinking... please PM me with any suggestions of
different .onion hosting options that I might consider. If anything,
just to have redundancy and 100% up time. Also my current provider had a
setting on PHP timeouts that made my goal and all the work I did on the
new login site for nothing... I could just not make it properly work
and ultimately even professional help said it was server side settings
and my idea wasn't going to work.... so I'd love to look into different
options of any kind for .onion hosting... even if I have to pay monthly
in BTC or something.

Ok I'll try another checkout. What was weird was this is the same
station I have used about 4 or 5 times. I'll see if I can pinpoint an
issue!
Thank you for the quick reply

Just checking in again and letting you all know links are still down FYI
Mr.Black

GL: I guess we use the same host, mine is down too. Have you thought
about using Google Drive, Skydrive or Dropbox, since they are so
reliable? Setup the account with an Tormail email, login only via Tor
and encrypt the zip files and you have a ultra reliable host. You could
use any host using this same method.

Hi Everyone,
I
bought the three main coupon collections, If I'm not mistaken I believe
it's OC, NF, and HC. I don't want to go into to much detail about my
escapades and bore you guys to death. Long story short; the OC is
phenomenal had a couple hiccups with NF GC's but nothing to major. The
49.99 off MC are amazing.
With that being said I feel like I can
rack up a couple of those MC GC's and buy stuff with them of course
nothing that will lead back to me. However I was wondering if anyone has
a more efficient way of turning those GC's into hard cold cash. The
only way I can think of is to rack up a few of them purchase some kind
of electronic and flip it on ebay, craigslist or whatever.
Does anyone have a more efficient way of flipping these GC's into cash?
P.S.
Thanks for everything GoldenLotus, absolutely fantastic guy. I know you
get "Thank you's" all the time but yeaa... one more couldn't hurt.
-Siloenvy14
Well,
looks like my post went unnoticed and my question ignored, so Fuck You
GUYS (JUST KIDDING; this is still a great community with a great wealth
of knowledge)!
Anyways I wanna share 1 of my unorthodox ways
of using the MC GC's that I found through trial and error. I don't think
anyone has used them in this way yet or at least I haven't read
about it on here yet.
So a good friend of mine introduces me to a
site called Backpage its basically the same thing as Craigslist.
However they have an interesting section for "escorts". (I think you can
already tell where this is going) So the premise of this section are
there are "escorts" you pay for their "time" and "company". They're more
or less hookers. So I go through all the listings and everything from
time to time cause some of these chicks and legit dime pieces and some
of them are busted (You win some, you lose some). I was always to scared
to actually follow through with any of them cause, ya know, you see on
TV about those undercovers all the time. 99% of the listings take cash
some of them list their hourly - half hour rates and what not. You can
call them up and either they come to you (Outcalls) or you go to them
(Incalls).
One listing I came across caught my interest, this
chick gave her rates, pics, and she also said she accepted Credit Cards,
Gift cards, and what not. Then I was like HMMMMMMMMMMMM ...
interesting. Of course this chick was average looking at best so I
wasn't really interested in calling her up. Then I had an idea what if
some of these other better looking broads would accept these GC's. So I
go through a few listings of chicks that were Dime pieces. Called them
up and inquiring if they would accept the GC's in place of cash. Some of
them said No and a couple said Yea after I convinced them its more
legal since these GC's are gifts and not compensation as in cash. (I
have no idea if this holds up in court or not; just bullshit I came up
with on my end). One chick was 250 an hour so I was like I got 5 of
these $50 GC. I gave her all the info to check the balance online for
only 2 of the cards over the phone and told her when you get here you
can check the balance for the other 3.
She agreed then came
over, had my laptop setup with Tor browser as shes checking the final 3.
She goes "Your internet is really slow", "Yeaaa... fucking DSL". All 3
checks out and we proceeded to do the deed. Gawd this chick was smokin,
she starts going down on me and after a bit my ice cream cone instantly
melted. After that took a quick water break and came back for round 2
put on a trojan (Thanks, OC!) and went into action. It was a great
hour...
So all in all I spent about $25+taxes to get a Bangin
chick for an hour. Pretty much the same price you'd pay for dinner and a
movie for a girl on a date... not bad, not bad at all.
"I don't pay hookers to have sex with me, I pay them to leave after they have sex with me."

Mr.Black
I
was officially notified by my provider that servers will return in "a
few hours". Please do not post any updates until you can tell everyone
"The server is back up." It's down, we get it. I've explained the reason
for the outage, it is in fact now confirmed to be a simple maintence.
The message says "Sorry, This server is currently offline for maintenance. Please try again in a few hours. "
I'm
still seeking a second .onion host for redundancy in the future. This
kind of down time is rare and I would like a backup option so we always
have 100% uptime.
You can expect some serious progress over this
weekend in terms of the OC, AC, and Lottery... not necessarily in any
order, except the Lottery will be the lowest priority (sorry guys). I
have kept full track of all Lottery sales and I will report them and
make drawings immediately after I add all of the additional coupons
submitted so that those members can get their chance at winning too.

@Siloenvy14:
That's fucking brilliant and thank you for sharing that piece of
information with us. I'm sure wraithe is fucking going nuts running
around town collecting those GCs right now. Personally, one thing I
won't do, not even with giftcards, is pay for pussy. Bitches should be
honored that I fuck them at all. I'm a SilkRoad legend, and every nerdy
female drug user on the planet should recognize that and want to fuck
me. HAHA, that's satire of course, but I really like your ideas. The
reason no one answered your original question is because those people
who have learned how to make that happen, typically are not quick to
share that info, because it might get played out and no longer work, but
your new find is great and thanks for sharing. I don't think we will
ever run out of stupid call girls, so this was Golden to share.

You were trying to do a giftcard with a 799366 code and a coupon with a 99366 code.

Yeah, it was not personal MrBlack999. Like I said in my PM, I'm very
glad to have you here with us on the forum. I just like to throw the
message out there so others realize it's not necessary sometimes. I
never want to discourage the disclosure of legitimate issues publicly on
this thread, but having someone repeat the same issue over and over,
especially when I can't control it and it discourages sales, and then
that discourages me.
I'm still accepting new orders and filling
them, and explaining the situation and encouraging people not to
finalize until they are 100% happy, but at least this way I keep new
customers getting their goods as soon as possible and without waiting on
me to take any further actions.

GL, you are the fuckin man!! I owe you my first born child lol.
I
was a greedy little bastard today...I kinda went against my own rules,
but the fucking opportunities were too damn good. I found one of these
stores where the employees just didn't seem to monitor the SC screen AT
ALL. I went in, got a drink and MC + 49.99 off and I was out of there in
a minute in a half.
I thought to myself "this is too good to be
true", so I drove around the block, changed shirts and added hat +
glasses and SC'd myself another MC. Then a couple hours later, I did
some OC shopping at a different BlueMart and paid the minimal balance(s)
with the MC I got a couple hours prior.
I'm thinking a
road trip is in order very soon. Gonna take a buddy with me to serve as
my SC-wingman to distract the clerk while I do what I do.

I wonder if sc machines Do patterns, eg., one gift card purchased then next transaction. Another one , then another one.
Friend works at a store so figuring I would ask if anyone had luck this way or if it flags items like that.

Bit of a stock up run today. About $120 before coupons $16
after. Would have been less but picked up a couple items without a
coupon. Anyone remember a eggo coupon or am I imagining it?
Also was there ever a barber foods one. Regardless back on
point. OC is the end all be all....fucking every single coupon
scanned without incident as they always do. Actually had a wallie
world employee use the no free line the other day regarding an HC
coupon, looks like I have to save up for the not free
collection...Anyone got any suggestions on acquiring btc's now that

multiple transaction. At your own risk, YES this is possible and I have

Seems like this would be the way to go if you had a friend working the SC master computer.
Somebody
said the box-style WM SC doesn't work as well as the lanes? This sucks
because the majority of the WM in my area are box-style. :(
-
I wonder if sc machines Do patterns, eg., one gift card purchased then next transaction. Another one , then another one.
Friend works at a store so figuring I would ask if anyone had luck this way or if it flags items like that.
If
you are asking if you can just keep hitting the same Wallyworld with
multiple transaction. At your own risk, YES this is possible and I have
done it. I also did all my test runs with a oartner, so even though I
left with 10 mastercards, so did he. We would tag team each store and
felt invincible since we both were getting away with it at the exact
same time.
Lotus
Just
remember that when the store tries to redeem them and gets word back
about no reimbursement for 10 x same exact coupon for 50, they will
alert ALL employees and perhaps neighboring stores.. if more than that,
they might even ask for regional LP help. Even worse if they all came
while the same guy was attending SC
think on it b4 you burn a store for everyone. >$500 in 1 day is nice but in the long run you will get them for more :)
EDIT:
I'm not trying to tell you what to do, people hate it :) Just providing
another perspective. A man on the inside is great but don't put him at
risk, use him to your advantage... slowly

jacob1234 deserves some real recognition and as many +1s as a team
of us can give him. He goes out of his way to provide me with assistance
in any way he can, and I don't even ask for it. He has become one of
the greats in this community and I applaud him for that.
Also,
while the links are still down :-( Their main site is currently being
restored and thats a good sign for us. In the mean time, if someone
could find me a .onion file host, preferrable not one I upload to a
public directory, but I'll take what I can get right now just to restore
shit. I would be happy to find a paying host where I can pay monthly in
BTC... I don't want us to ever have downtime again.

:O Faithful servant? YES! I've always wanted one. :P
Only
hosts I know of are FreedomHost and TorHost. I know there are a few
non-Tor hosts that accept BTC, but this is probably not too smart.
I'm not sure of their terms but here are the few I found listed around deepweb:
AnonHosting - http://wevuysiyescilvc7.onion
CYRUSERV - http://cyruserv5hlagzhg.onion
You
could always find a VPS that accepts BTC, sign up with fake info over
Tor, set up a Tor webserver on the system, encrypt all the zips so that
the host doesn't know what's being stored. Again you're getting into a
grey area here and this isn't the best way to go.
EDIT: Here's a
list of VPS providers that accept BTC. There's even a TOR column that
says if you can use it or not.

MY ADVENTURES:: (newbie level)
first, i bought the OC (every had too) but it was well worth it!
lets start with the bad first, may or may not have to do with the coupons..
everything
over the "SAVE" value is fine, but if its under for some reason, itll
say exceeded coupon amount then the csm will most likely turn it down
thats it.. lol after all the oc is excellent
the
good , usually all the food works! and when you got the munchies and
got these coupons, you wont forget the coupon ever .. no matter how high
you are.. because more food equals a better mouth-gasim.. lmfao.
hc.... long story... lmfao.. juss say its called hc for a reason..
NF
works like a charm. you just got to know what youre doing.. but would
love to hear from diff store with SC GC because ive been only hitting
wm.. anybody ever try hitting cubs? or target? etc..
lottery...(tobecontinued)
will
try to update my experiences.. or if i ever recall them i might just
post them randomly.. because i know new buyers might want info...
because i know i did..
-
everything
over the "SAVE" value is fine, but if its under for some reason, itll
say exceeded coupon amount then the csm will most likely turn it down
What store are you having this problem in? Is it just one coupon or any coupon that amount off is over the price of the item?

its for wm . its like 7.58 but 8 off and another 3 but 4.50 off
reason why ? because theres no higher. wm cheaper than expected. but so far its only 2 coupons..
-
Is it risky going to the same walmart and using these coupons day
after day? There's only one walmart that has a self checkout in my area
and these past 2 days I have been getting 2 gc each day. Is it risky to
go again next week? Like do u think by now that this walmart flagged
this coupon or something? Or maybe matched the time stamp on the
receipts and looked at the security cameras to see who's been using
them? I know I'm prolly just being paranoid but I just wanna be sure.

i
feel you on this one! but ive been doing this from weeks straight the
same wm's .. theres this one time they did put tight security the next
day after i did the gc but i did it again, and got confronted but juss
make quick talk and leave because you already paid. i think you shouldnt
have anything to worry .. dont look to suspicious.. what i like to do
is buy a drink or a chip to kind of cover the gc.. then glance with my
peripherals for the right moment .. and moments later you made your
gc. but dont go haywire..because there is a chance they
might double security. and its always good to go in groups... gives you
confidence.. more gc and all the feels you get when you kickin'.. aha

I
have used ones made for a semi-regional grocers name brand, then again
these were made and printed off to look like they were taken out of a
newspaper, and the redemption addy is in TX with hopes this will give
them more longevity. YMMV however if messing with Internet printed
coupon look a likes for these, especially at Wally World.
This
is unnecessarily risky. We have the ability to buy the name brands at a
cheaper price than the store brands. Why get the store brands which are
more likely to catch on faster?
Because
I don't know of any name brand ground beef or other fresh meats- Wife
said the line is drawn with 3 chest freezers! But, seriously TFB is
correct this should be avoid when possible, anyone else sick of frozen
foods?

Yes, along with 70% of the rest of Tor I was using FH. I promise I

Hey GL Have you tried asking SR who they use? They seem to be one of
the few tor sites that are up and running mail dont work and a few
others that I visit. This down time really sucks but then again I broke
my computer and have to use a tablet so maybe that is why most other
sites dont work for me.
On another note you can ignore my messages
or delete them as to now I know about the problems. I could not access
the forums theother day to read this due to me computer.
Keep up the great work Lotus.

big Deal.It will be up when it's up,we have all benefited so much from
this dude and his fantastic wares that I believe we have gone fucking
spoiled rotten on expecting to pay 10-25% of the bill before we hand
over our coupons.I know I have :)
The thing is....He is trying his

daily that could be avoided my just reading this thread.I'll tell you

Hey

I
wouldn't be surprised if DPR owned their own servers, either physically
in possession of them somewhere safe, or using rented servers in a
safer locale (i.e. Russia) where he is dealing completely anonymously
with the owners/operators.
In other news, I had an issue with the
Bounty paper towels coupon yesterday at Wal-Mart. Cashier wouldn't take
it, scanned both codes, but my UPC's matched. He seemed pretty pleased
that it didn't scan either. Has anyone had any issues with this either?

we
need to figure out what the ap is that you can use to scan coupons so
we can check them ourselves because some places have different
issues. Can anybody suggest an coupon scanning ap?
As for
the TorMail stuff that's going on, just assume that they have your
passwords, AND if you have visited the TorMail site, the FBI has set it
up to inject a zero-day exploit into Firefox. So I'm trying to
figure out if I have the exploit on my computer, plus I'm changing my

Coupon Decoder for iOS.
But
that app has nothing to do with the validity of the coupons. If you use
the app, it will tell you what's encoded on the barcode, (i.e. $X off
and the expiration date [if coded]), not whether or not certain stores
will accept them. I'm asking about Bounty because it's possible
Wal-Mart, or the one store I went to, has noticed that coupon and has
made sure it doesn't ring up as valid, which is why I'm asking if others
have had any issues. Most likely not and it's just that particular
location, but it's fair to ask so you know that it won't work at
particular stores, if that is the case.
Make sure you're using NoScript and have it running all the time when using TOR.

Hey I'm interested in purchasing the couplon listing but I saw all

sofish,
Welcome to our community. Listings are temporarily
down while we are looking for a new file hosting site. Our last one has
been shut down for reasons beyond GoldenLotus' control. He is currently
looking for a replacement site and the listing will be reinstated once
he finds one suitable for our needs.
Regards,

-
Had the same issue with the Bounty paper towels. Everything looks good but no joy at the register.
-
The Bounty issue is one being resolved now. It's happened a few
times already, we fixed it, it happens again. This time we have a
permanent fix.
But the story of today is this; We are now in
vacation mode, because we are shifting over to a different service
provider to host our downloads. I've already identified one host and
have begun uploading the files on to there. I'm still working on a
second provider that is separate but would be our backup mirror in case
the first site had issues (like those we are experiencing today).
I'm
going to be dropping whatever it is I have going on and focusing on
getting us back up and running as quickly and as easily as possible, no
natter how much work that takes from me.
Another setback,

Had some good runs on the weekend. It seems that maybe Walmart has
fixed the issues they had with coupons. We hit about 4 walmarts and
every OC coupons plus the self made coupons worked with no issues. All
scanned fine.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Ok, so I am getting things worked out. I expect to
complete a partial restoration by this evening... Meaning I'll at least
have the new site and the O.C. back up.
This is how this will
work for the immediate future to make ll of our lives a bit easier...
THE ONLY NEW INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED IS THE NEW .ONION ADDRESS AND
THIS WILL BE RELEASED PUBLICLY HERE AND ON MY VENDOR PROFILE.
Sorry
for the caps... Just use the new .onion address the exact same way you
did the old one, and it will work. No need to message me. Just
replace the old .onion address with the new one and then follow the
other instructions you were previously given.
Like every other
vendor on Silk Road, I discourage the discussion of my delivery methods
on the forum too. If this confuses any of my customers at all, then send
me a Private Message asking for clarification.
Look for the new
.onion address soon with partial restoration of my collections, but I
will still need my full 2 day window to restore everything...
Thanks,

Checking in!
I have a question... Which of the 2 Gift cards
(MC or AX) need swipe at the bluebird self checkout register? and other
stores besides bluebird that have self checkout lands?
Working on gift cards today... 8)
-
MC is my favorite because it only requires a scan and no swipe,
saving you a few seconds and one less step to take. I have only heard of
one other person trying a non Walmart self checkout, at a Giant Foods
(whatever that is), they did not get a successful scan without
intervention but the employee keyturned it in anyways.
Other than that I would be reporting any new developments.

provider.
I am uploading the OC now. I suggest EVERYONE
redownload the OC, even if you have what you think is the most up to
date version. There were some issues pointed out with several coupons. I
was fixing them while injured and was still taking pain medication, so
although everything seems fine... that's not going to be the case for
long, just download the now fixed OC.
I will announce the new
.onion URL after the OC is finished, and we run some tests on it to make
sure our uploads did not get corrupted or anything over the Tor
transfer.

GL you are a good dude good work
I tried the Body fortress
coupon today at WM and the coupon scan. It said something like coupon
does not match item. I tried it before the updates. Is this coupon hard
coded? Is there a way to fix this?
-
I know this has been stated before by more than just me, but it is
worth repeating. Once GoldenLotus's listings are back online, anyone who
does not yet own them should do themselves a favor and buy the OC.
I
don't know what there is to think about. It pays for itself in a single
shopping trip. All the money you save you can spend on future SR
purchases if you choose. not only that, but every time you walk out of a
store with a cart full of groceries that you got for next to nothing
give you one hell of a serotonin rush and once you have it you can do it
as often as you like!
Once you have some OC under your belt you
should move on to the HC and AC and NF collections. Again, what is
there to think about? These pay for themselves almost instantly. Then
you can join in the real fun of printing money! (moreso than you already
are with the OC..)
After a few runs with those collections I
have no doubt you will be hooked and an active member of our coupon
community. On to the next step, learning how to make your own coupons
for anything that is not included in the packs you already have.
Fortunately GoldenLotus has lessons available for anyone interested! If
you so choose, any coupons you create can be added to the submission
lottery which not only benefits the community (or those who have
purchase the submission lottery collection), but it also earns you an
entry in the lottery. Any time a drawing is held the proceeds from this
(not for profit I might add) are distributed to the winner. The more you
create and share the better your odds! What a brilliant concept!

Been waiting on pins and needles since ordering all three packages
on the same day they were taken down! GL presented a level of compassion
that I have not seen during my travels over the past year by refunding
me the cost of the OC package and even offered to do a complete refund
on all packages and still offer me free access to the OC (not that I
accepted that deal considering my strong desire to hit all the Wallys in
my area)!
I look forward to tonight or tomorrow's pillaging!

T4B. All of GL's coupon packs pay for themselves virtually instantly.
The OC is good for anybody. As long as you stay away from needing a
manager override, you'll get almost no questions other than "Wow. Where
did you get these? I need this shit."
The HC, NF, and AC get a little more tricky and need a bit more coaxing, but is still (like T4B said) basically printing money.
He's absolutely correct saying you will be hooked. This gives you a high unlike any other. You won't want to quit.

Great

this will all settle down. I know you've been working your ass off
lately.
-
Well, at best it looks like we will get the O.C. back online
tonight. Our new host allows for larger files than we could do
previously, but rather than create one huge file, I still broke it down
into 3 files total for the OC since Tor downloads do experience issues
with timeouts on occasion.
I have the first file uploaded
successfully, and then the second file has already timed out once on me
and is uploading PAINFULLY slow... so the only challenge left for me is
to sit here and deal with one of my least favorite parts of this job...
Tor Uploads!
We are almost there though, and we learned some
valuable lessons this past weekend. I learned that from now on, I need
to have a completely different host already to go as an immediate backup
in the case of any sort of downtime.
Most of you know I had
some responsibilities to handle previous to this and this sure as shit
has slowed me down. I'm happy to announce that the updated Advanced
Collection is complete so once I get everything uploaded it will now be
available again.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me
throughout my time here on Silk Road. The past 6 weeks have been
particularly hard and frustrating for me due to my injury, falling
behind on my responsibilities as a result, and being in constant pain.
I'm human, and I have to admit I'm not 100% proud of the way I conducted
myself during this healing process. I was short with people, both on SR
and IRL, and I was quicker to lose my temper. I'm sorry for that, and
wish some of the ways I responded to certain things had been handled
with more tact. Overall though, I'm proud of the progress that has been
made despite unexpected issues with health and now with hosting, etc.
I'm certainly not ashamed of the person GoldenLotus is, I just admit
that lately I've not been myself at all times. Moving forward, I think
the coupon gods owe us all a little bit of +1 karma and hopefully we can
be problem free and shine through Christmas 2013! I can't wait for that
shit.

Thank you,

great news! =) cant wait.

Thanks guys!
Uploading at an incredible 4k/sec, so we are
still going to be several hours away from a completed O.C. and I'll
likely struggle the next day or so in restoring the other collections
too.
I hope to be able to announce the new .onion URL later
tonight right here on the forum and also on my vendor page when the OC
finishes uploading, and then everyone can simply swap out the new onion
url with the old one and then proceed as usual. Same directions as
before, just the onion address changed. It won't be necessary to message
me, unless you completely lost your directions all together when you
first made the purchase. If tis confuses you at all, then feel free to
message me once I announce the new onion domain.

I commend you for your patience and hard work getting these fuckers up and running again...I know it can't be easy.
Thanks
for letting us all know what's up as well.Sorry for the short WTF
message....I really thought I was losing my mind on this TOR shit but
now I see it's widespread.
PEACE little buddy.

GL you are a good dude good work
I
tried the Body fortress coupon today at WM and the coupon scan. It said
something like coupon does not match item. I tried it before the
updates. Is this coupon hard coded? Is there a way to fix this?
I
also tried it out at WM. The 2 numbers are mixed up on the
coupon. I messaged GoldenLotus about it. They worked like
crazy up until the update. I love those things. I'm sure he
will fix it soon.
-
So excited for the update I keep checking the thread every 10
minutes - also trying to figure out how to generate the new type of
barcodes based on Kirkland signature products... Heh.
-
Quick trip to the local area WallyMart yielded same results pretty
much as always - very rarely are we rejected - have been out of
commission for awhile so wanted to test some light OC items before
tackling a days shopping tomorrow. V8, Coffee, Milk and protein
shakes all scanned with no issue. I will say the one issue
with this one location and one CS however made my girl want to bitch
slap her. She reads each coupon in earnest. The real and the
OC ones we use. She separates the ones that are of high value and
compares them to the price of the items LOL - she swears she is an
I-SPY agent or something. Anyway as usual she proceeds to walk
over to whatever manager on duty that day and is told as usual "if it
scans take it." Now don't get me wrong I give credit to my girl because
by this time I would have left the cart and caught a heart- attack - but
she calmly smiles and waits guess girls are just better at this.
Anyway they all scanned and we walked out with a $50.00 for just about $9.00.
-
And the new .onion link is:
http://of3jana5qvidryi5.onion/
So,
if you already have the latest link we were using before the FH
takeover, then you would just change the .onion address and put in
purpltx7wizybwaj.onion instead and everything should work as expected.
For the moment only the Original Collection has been uploaded, but the
remaining collections are currently being added and will be announced as
they become live. Hopefully by tomorrow they are all just LIVE.
If
you have any trouble, just PM me and I'll get you straight. I'll be
devoting more time than usual for the next couple days in an effort to
clean this mess up and get us all back to couponing happily.
***Every
needs to completely redownload the OC. Not only were about 17-20
coupons added, but errors were found in other coupons that were fixed.
If you don't re-download the coupons, you will have issues
eventually.***
I'm sorry for the mistakes, luckily they didn't really effect anyone yet, except to say you were missing some for a minute. :-)
Let's get back to business as usual,
Lotus
-
If anyone notices anything still remaining missing from the OC, please PM me, or just say it on here.
I know, I know, everyone wants Newports... lol I'm just tired now.
We
are officially back open for new business and the Original Collection
is now listed for those of you who are ready to join us!

good shit lotus. lets get this shit rollin' again .

Many Thanks for getting this back up, so soon after the FH raid. The first three files look great.
OC4, though, appears to have all July dates. Wrong file got uploaded?
-
Thanks GL! All is working on my end.

Having bought two packs the day FH went down, I'm super stoked to
see the OC up. Just downloaded, everything looks great! (except as Abbie
said, OC4 is mostly duplicates and is all expired, nbd). GL thanks for
keeping us updated during the outage time your work is greatly
appreciated. Now I'm just waitin on NF, im itchin to try the $4 GC coups
at wallys; I have a feeling I'll be using those lil guys a lot.

Goldenlotus- These are are awesome and cannot wait to try them out

Quick couple of questions before I start my new quest....
1. Is there any way to print multiple coupons of the same type on one piece of paper?
2. When going to OC is it best to start off small and get to the 20 d.o.l.l.a.r mark for csm?
Just wanted some opinions and help so I don't completely screw this up...

1.
Yes, you can. in settings change the quantity while keeping it on one
page. Make sure you know each store's policy on accepting duplicates.
2.
Yes starting off small is highly recommended. 1-3 cooupons to test the
waters. don't rush, the store is not going anywhere. Make sure you know
each store's policy and limits per coupon/per transaction

Fixing the OC4 file now... also finishing uploading the HC now.
For
those of you having trouble with the new link... you just take the new
.onion address and add the old directory name to it. If this causes you
any problems, then PM me. It's could be I am not being very clear, or
you have an old directory name. '
m3bimmer: I will fix it before I upload the new oc4 file.

Did you take the American Spirit Coupon off the OC?
I miss it
-
The Hardcore Collection is now finished uploading. I will be adding
the American Spirits back in the OC while fixing OC4, that was the last
file I was dealing with late last night and I guess I was just pushing
too hard to get it all done by the deadline I set for myself.
Today I can iron out the kinks... I am uploading the NF and fixed AC now.
UPDATE:
While the HC is finished uploading, I forgot to create the actual page
and put it in there... my fault, finishing that now, hold tight.

Dude,
IDK wtf the issue is now, but something is not working correctly since
last night... I am working on it guys. Thanks for your patience.

What do you mean? As in the hosting site or something? I literally just downloaded the OC about 30 minutes ago with no issue.
btw,
do coupon collections change with each update? I've noticed some of the
coupons from last time aren't there anymore i.e. iTunes, Jack Links
Beef Jerky, etc.
-
Ok, luckily I was smart enough to shell out enough $ and buy more
than one new host. For whatever reason the link that started with purpl
is now giving me permission issues when uploading. I opened a ticket
with the guy to fix whatever the problem is. Worked fine last night and
yes it's still accessible, but don't access it right now because it's
still outdated.
The new link is: http://of3jana5qvidryi5.onion/
So add your old working directory to the end of this .onion URL!
The
OC has been fixed, OC4 has new dates and I added all the missing
coupons, including American Spirits etc and the BodyFortress fix was
added to OC4 and removed from OC1.
The HC is now live too!
Sorry for the issues, but that's why I didn't count on just one fix,

The
OC and HC and done and live... I need a break, so I am going out
tonight for a couple hours. Tomorrow again will be 100% SR time once I
get off work.
The AC and NF are mostly uploaded however I have not completely finished so they will not be live until tomorrow.
Hopefully
tomorrow proves to be a 100% recovery for us from this latest setback. I
can't wait for business as usual and for us to progress further. There
are new additions that I haven't released at all yet... those will go
live hopefully as soon as I finish restoring everything. They will not
be a new pack or collection, they will be free additions for those who
own their respective collections.

hmm .. for nf .. it takes longer than usual to download and it
limit me only one download at a time.. or else the page will not
respond.
im trying to redownload it all to see how well the
new host it... so far the oc download isnt too bad.. but the NF.. is
super slow for me.. going at 2-3 kb/sec.. going to try to
redownload all of them to test it .

Well, I'm uploading now... so there is that, but I also got things
worked out with my other host. Some permission issue on their end. The
beautiful news is this other host is blazingly fast compared to the
current one.
I'll have everything fixed and replicated on each server tomorrow. So then the fast server will be an option.
For
example, I upload at about 4-5k/sec on the current server and download
about 25-30k/sec, but I upload at 50-60k/sec on the other server and
download above 100kb at all times.

Just Banged Everyone from 2055 to 2114 with Good + KARMA!!
Tried
doing a few MC Gift Cards today - funny enough couldn't find any in CVS
did however come across a sign that said Valid Drivers License
needed with all GC purchases LOL - guess they have been hit
hard.... went to another location and found no sign so I assume it
was just an area thing. Oh well will try the GC again tomorrow.
Did
however get the weekly shopping out of the way with TP, Dish Detergent,
Milk, Sour Cream, V8, K-Cups, Tortillas and Dove. Just a little
over $100 for just under $20.00 - small but effective and just another
successful trip to add to the total of savings.
Did have
an issue with Dawn at a local Kmart but other then that all scanned
properly - didnt try it at any other locations so not sure if it was
just there or just me?
Trying to make a few new ones to
share when ready!!! Will try another run tomorrow just cause we
have the time and the taste for savings again and let you all
know.

Self checkout with no employee was the point. So you can hit and go.
Just make sure not to cross $50 in total savings or have the employee

:O I only have MC49_99 Where the hell are the VISA and Amex.
Since
that's the topic had something funny happen yesterday. Myself and two
other friends were hitting WalMarts yesterday with the 49.99 off MC. All
was well until the last one. As many of you know the coupons expired,
but since we had them printed out and could use them at SC we went ahead
and used them anyways. Was working then this bitch stops my friend as
he's leaving the register with activated GC in hand and takes it out of
his hand and runs to the Customer Service area. She comes back with this
giant fucker and he goes into the SC and gets the coupon out and talks
to my friend for a long time (other friend and I are looking at glasses
while this is happening one GC each in pocket) and finally they go to
the Customer Service area and he's standing in line. We leave and he
comes out about 5 minutes later, jumps in the car, and throws the gift
card at me laughing his ass off. They told him they "know the coupon is
counterfeit and that it expired but have no idea how to refund the
money" so he got away with the GC anyways. We used it on food later that
day. Fucking amazing.
All in all we finished the day with about $450. Was in a city I don't live in so we thought we'd hit it harder than usual.

No
no no. I had some already printed off that I meant to use last month,
but didn't get a chance. We figured since they were for SC that the
expiration date shouldn't matter (and didn't until this one moment). I
haven't checked any of the newly uploaded packs as I had been out all
day yesterday.

From my quick morning review, seems to me that the NF files are on
point, but the OC files from the of3jana site have several expirations.
OC3 is all expired, and OC4 has some expirations thrown in there. it's
also missing some that were uploaded to the purpl site (ziploc, lays,
pringles, were what i noticed)
And yeah my solution to the one
download at a time was to just get a new identity after each one, then i
could have simultaneous downloads. Probably gonna make my first run
with these later today, wish me luck!
-
Well the goods news is that all of them have been updated in the OC
even if they aren't actually live yet, the work is done but possibly I
fudged the files. I'll have to double check which ones are messed up in
the OC3. I'm hoping you just happened to download the old ones that were
briefly uploaded at first. I know OC4 needs to be fixed.
My
entire evening will be devoted to ironing all of these issues out
tonight, and hopefully I get things looking better than they ever have
since taking on such a large amount of coupons. I also have brand new
never before seen content I hope to release tonight as free additions.
We
should also have a new host that is much faster and allows for multiple
downloads at some point tonight too, but this will be time consuming
for me on the upload end, especially since I have to make certain
changes before I can even begin.

As far as I can tell, this has been a semi common problem and I
believe it to be host related and not file related. I have a much more
reliable host I am trying to debut here tonight and it should seriously
cut down on this kind of issue. Only download one at a time, as
mentioned by others, while we are using this server today. I like this
new one I am about to come out with even better than I did the host we
used before this.

downloading twice. Maybe a error with the file?
Yeah,
I believe this is due to not all of the file completely downloading,
due to a timeout. So like GL said, a host problem not a file problem. It
will say something along the lines of corrupted .rar or unable to
extract. I have tried HC1 3 times now, the first time it downloaded
4.7mb, second 5.5, now the third is at about a megabyte and so far no
time out. I'll try it one more time and if it times out, I'll try OC1 or
HC2 or NF1... something different. I've got all of the patience
in the world though! Keep up the good work GL! I wish I had more
resources/knowledge to help out... if you know of any easy grunt work I
can do let me know. When I'm not swamped with school and work I'll be
able to get the lessons and start contributing.
Edit: 4 minutes
later, Firefox says "Download Complete"... only 1.4 megabytes in total
were downloaded. Yikes. I'm going to restart Tor and try again on the
OC1 pack. I'll update.
Edit #2 - 20 minutes later. Can not
establish connection to OC pack for about 13 minutes. Finally got
connection, but download would not start. Said XXX.zip could not be
saved, the source file could not be read. I'll be back on later tonight
to see if maybe there is too much load on the server at the moment.

computer. I would definitely be into learning how to and contributing,
but I can't afford the lessons right now, but I do have all the time in
the world to do it considering I'm not in school atm. Shit I don't even
have a job right now.
All that aside again, I would like to thank
everyone who has put so much effort in this project. The world totally
needs more giving people like the ones I have met on Gl's thread.

Download one file @ a time.
When
it asks you to "save file" select you're downloads folder. I've noticed
other ones don't work. (This is temporary of course)
Then, if you don't have the application "The Unarchiver" which is mac based, download it.
Once
you see the zip file in your downloads folder, if you're on a laptop
like me, hit "control" and right click on the folder-->"Open with..."
and use "ARCHIVE UTILITY, NOT UNARCHIVER"...it comes with the
unarchiver app download.
BOOM! They should all be there and move
them to a secure location, use cleanmymac or "ccleaner" after
transferring (in my case a ram disc) to wipe up any traces.
Hope this helped! AND ALSO @ PL-THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE BUDDY AND ALL YOU'RE HARD WORK!!!

I used DownThemAll! (still downloading one file at a time) and even
with a few interrupted transfers I was able to extract all OC zips
without problem. As for the contents I've yet to go through them all. I
will soon.
-
im not on a mac unfortunately. i know for sure now the download is
getting interrupted though. i might have to wait until the new server
-
So I've run into a problem. When I DL the HC3 -5 and the NF3-4 I get an error when running the zip file on my MAC that says:
Unable to expand "HC3.zip" into "HC3" (the folder I put the original file in)
(Error 2 - No such file or directory)
Any ideas?
Are
you using the default utility? Try Unarchiver it's free. Also Stuffit
Expander is free. Both are available on the Mac App Store. If you're
still having problems the file was probably corrupted during download.
It'd probably be best to wait until the new host is live.

Hello all! Just wanted to update you all on my first excursion to bigblues and to try Goldenlotus coupons!
As
I was approaching the register there was a long line in front of me, so
I said no sweat the cashier is gonna want to scan me quick and get me
outta here. As I was approaching, my heart was racing a sh!t ton by now,
but was calm, cool, and collected on the surface. I said hello as it
was my turn to go to the register and we exchanged some pleasantries.
After she scanned my 4 items, the total came to $32.30 and
politely handed her my coupons. She thought nothing of them of course
until the blender bottle coupon and the hane's shirt coupons wouldn't
scan. Both would come up as GSG and show some weird code on the screen.
Needless to say when I saw those codes I was pretty sure I was boned,
but nothing happened. Long story short, I was 2/4 on my coupons (chicken
breasts and deli meat worked BTW). Was a bit peeved I had to pay $27ish
for my total, but it was what it was and reluctantly handed the cashier
my hard earned $$$.
: /
Now I just had a couple of more questions...
1.
I did see she was scanning the longer bar-code for the hanes and the
blender bottle and on the receipt it gave me a weird saying like return
coupons to customer because the blender bottle and the hanes shirts
coups did not work and gave me the codes...
2. Would I have better luck SC next time I go to the same store?
3. It was a fucking rush that everyone should try...almost like paintballing except no one is shooting at you
Thoughts, comments, and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mr.Black

problem. As for the contents I've yet to go through them all. I will
soon.
Just
downloaded/used DownThemAll. I was able to download just one of the NF
files, and it took restarting Tor two times for it to begin downloading.
Once it got started, I had to resume it three times and it finally
finished. Speed was about 4 kilobytes/sec. So I think you need a
download manager Longissimus.
Now I'm trying to download
another one, but it stays stuck at 0%. I'll keep restarting my computer
and Tor, but unless you absolutely have to download them now I would
probably wait until the newest server is up, as this process takes very
long... For those who have been able to download the entire package of
any of the sets... did you use a different download manager?
-
Having the same issue here, get about 60% done with a file and it
will quit. Anyone know how to continue an interrupted TOR
download? All that matters is, as I am getting them done they are
consistent Lotus gold. I love being able to print out my own money
:) Quick run through wallie world, about 75 dollars worth of
socks, k cups, lighters, gc's (chikfila,wendys) other misc
groceries cost less than 6 bucks. Plan on going on a little spree
here in the future.
OC, HC, Not Free, AC Buy them all!!! Buy them now.
Long Live the LOTUS!!

2. Would I have better luck SC next time I go to the same store?
Here's
the deal. Some Wal-Mart stores have installed a weird system in the
past 4 months or so. The screen will say Scan GS1 Barcode, then when
they do it will read "Coupons Scanned - #######-######" This shouldn't
be a problem, it is their policy to take the coupons anyway. If you were
to argue with them they would punch them in eventually, but it might
take them calling over their manager and you explaining to the manager
that their policy is to take the coupons. No matter what they tell you
about "it has to scan" their policy DOES NOT SAY it has to scan. I
understand you probably do not want to do that because of the attention
etc... Chances are if you take the same coupons to a different wal-mart
they would work fine.
That being said, other stores will work better...
-
Everyone hold tight. I have addressed the issues in the OC, NF, and
AC. The OC still contained some old coupons, and the AC and NF have so
far only had their GC coupons and not items.
All known issues
have been resolved to the best of my ability today. I am uploading the
changes and completing the 100% relisting of all of my collections here
on a brand new, much faster .onion host.
I will be announcing the
new onion here as soon as my uploads finish. You can keep the one I
currently have posted as a backup, but it wont immediately have these
new changes, and will be updated shortly after and used as a backup in
the event of another outage. I'm still going to look for even faster
hosts because honestly the one we are using at this very moment can't
handle our traffic and won't really work as a reliable backup.

Original
UPC Barcode has 12 numbers. The first (outside left), last (outside
right), and the five digits on the right side of the UPC you don't need
to worry about. The ONLY numbers you need to match up are the five
digits on the left (excluding the outside left, or first number). I hope
this makes sense.
These five digits are the Manufacturer ID code. If
you really want to learn about what each set of numbers represents in a
UPC just Google it and you will find a plethora of information on the
subject.
Like I, as well as many others have said in previous posts
on this topic, said; just worry about the first five digits (excluding
the first) matching up.
-
Also, it is good practice to ask them to take any item, which they
refuse the coupon for, back. That way they have to put it back on the
shelf and you don't have to pay full price... Sometimes that will
motivate them to push it through as well..
-

them? Also...do you think I should wait the two weeks to hit this one to

Mr.Black
Why
wouldn't you put them down the shoot? We have a coupon for printer
paper, so it's not like you're wasting money and if the same thing
happens to you that happened to my friend they'll need to have that
coupon in the bin.
The two weeks thing is mainly for HC, AC, NF
because these are big savings per coupon. As long as you're not using
the same coupons over and over within a few weeks at the same store you
shouldn't have a problem. I have made multiple trips in a two week
period to the same store using the OC. Just try to use a different
cashier as to lower suspicion (not like the retards at Walmart are
really going to notice much of a pattern).

I
concur. My theory was always that this is exactly what someone who was a
serious couponer would do. If I am so serious that I am paying only 20%
or less of retail price, then of course I'm not going to be nonchalant
about it. It's believable, plus of course like T4B said, you avoid
paying full price ever.

welp, my first day of using coupons was a bust, mainly because i
forgot to fill gas in my car and therefore only made it to one store.
tried the 49.99 off a Amex GC at a regional chain (closer than walmart),
couldn't even get it to scan at SC! tried swiping it, holding it
different distances away, the scanner wouldn't recognize it. eventually
after a while the lady spotted me shaking a piece of paper at the
machine and asked if i needed assistance, she took the coupon and called
the manager. They looked it over for a while and I'm pretty sure I saw
them giggling to each other.... weird. Then she said "We cannot accpet
this coupon here". I did however manage to get a box of cheezits for 50
cents, so it was an ok day in the end. except for getting laughed at :c
I
will head over to Walmart in a few days and retry. In the meantime,
does anyone have any tips for scanning? Also I couldn't identify the
UPCs on the GCs, neither the front nor back of the cards had one listed?
Maybe I'm just missin it....
P.S. thank you lotus for your hard work and dedication to the community u da man

Hold up... This is one of the main reasons why I stress the
importance of starting with the OC first... luckily all that happened
was you got laughed at. Heck, I won't even sell any of the other
collections until someone buys the OC as a prerequisite.
AS far
as your non-scan, download a UPC/GS1 barcode scanning app. Any free
scanner on Android will do just fine to test if you ae printing
scannable coupons. For iTunes users, pay $0.99 for an app called Coupon
Decoder. It is the top of the line for coupon scanning apps and worth
every cent and much more to us.
You may not be printing at 300+
dpi or otherwise just have a rough ink je printert... idk for sure. You
may have just got an unlucky Walmart with old software on their S.C.
machines which I have only ever seen once myself out of more than a
dozen new WMs.
Most importantly, don't let this phase your confidence. Confidence is key, and confidence is built by success.

Well
first off you shouldn't be using this coupon without using the OC for a
while and getting the hang of couponing with low amounts.
Since
it was brought up though... Sounds like this store doesn't allow the
gift cards to be purchased through the SC terminal. As for matching the
Manufacturer ID code for the GCs here it goes:
There are two types
coupons that are for GCs in GL's packs, first is the one with both
databar and original UPC. With this one you'll see the ID to match as
usual (first five digits excluding the very first digit). The other type
is with just the databar. This one has numbers above the databar in the
format of 00XXXXX-XXXXX. The digits to match are the first five digits
excluding the first two (most of the time the first two are 0s). On the
gift card some have UPCs so it's easy to match, but if they don't have a
UPC there should be a magnetic strip at the bottom of the card (the
part that you swipe through a reader) and under or above should be a
long string of numbers. Somewhere in there should be the Manufacturer
ID. 99366 or 76750 should be somewhere in that string of numbers. Make
sure you're using the coupon for that MFID.
I have no idea if that made sense as I am very sleepy and just about to head to bed.
Best
of luck, and if you need clarification just ask and I'm sure somebody
can explain it better or I will try to reword it tomorrow.
jacob
EDIT:
Misunderstood what was scanning incorrectly. I understand now the
coupon wasn't scanning, so the problem was probably either what GL said
or perhaps they do not accept GS1 at their SC. The matching of MFID
still stands though.

Yeah
i should have said i have a bit of history using fakes, and I tend to
stay calm in high pressure situations. also i consider myself pretty
good with quick thinking so I thought i could handle it, but yah
practice is always a good idea. I'll also get that app, but I'm pretty
sure I'm printing OK as the cheezit one scanned beautifully. And the
clerk said, as if on cue, "damn, where can i get me some of these? that
ain't even fair!" haha. And keep in mind it wasn't a walmart, so i bet
it'll work fine there. Cant wait

Something
like this happened to me the first time as well- some scanned, some
didn't but it was because I printed out many too small and on an inkjet
printer that fucks the scannabiltiy of the bar code. They're
supposed to be about the size of a dollar bill and laser printing works
best but if they're close to the correct size they should scan from a
decent inkjet as well, at least that has been my most recent experience.
+1 for the smart phone scanner apps...invaluable for the couponer.

while the lady spotted me shaking a piece of paper at the machine and
asked if i needed assistance, she took the coupon and called the
manager. They looked it over for a while and I'm pretty sure I saw them
giggling to each other.... weird. Then she said "We cannot accpet this
coupon here". I did however manage to get a box of cheezits for 50
cents, so it was an ok day in the end. except for getting laughed at :c
I
will head over to Walmart in a few days and retry. In the meantime,
does anyone have any tips for scanning? Also I couldn't identify the
UPCs on the GCs, neither the front nor back of the cards had one listed?
Maybe I'm just missin it....
P.S. thank you lotus for your hard work and dedication to the community u da man
These
coupons are specifically for WM SC. I doubt you looked into your
store's policy but if you will I'm sure you will see they have limits.
If an attendant were to see it, you better hope they in the bottom block
of the intelligence totem pole.. Of course they laughed at you, think
how unplausible it looks from their side

There cannot be enough mention of how helpful reading through this

cutting your teeth with the OC.
Is anyone working on a FAQ section? I'd be willing to help.

Anyone who has not purchased them yet should come up with two good
reasons why not. I can't even come up with one. Doing so will only
enhance your life and help to ensure that you have more money in your
pocket for as long as you choose to use this product. I and several of

The Lottery listing isn't live yet. I had to restore all of my paid

Hello fellow couponers!

Score! I just noticed the WD HDD coupon in the Not Free! Items file.
I've heard tell of this and have wanted it for some time.

Well that escalated quickly...

Nah MrBlack, your cool. Just a little on edge because of how last
week played out. Generally everyone should be more cautious in
everything they do from here on the darknet. It's not like Facebook
where our biggest threat from clicking the wrong link is a virus from
Cambodia... here our biggest threat is a virus from the DEA.
Why
would couponers have to worry about the DEA? Have you not tried these
yet? They are addicting as fuck and produce one of the best highs on the
Road!
Thanks for the reports back on the AC3. All of them have
now been fixed, however I won't be positioned to upload them until
tomorrow. I'll announce that fix as soon as it becomes live. If anything
I'm trying to find something to do tonight to get me away from the

Just redownloaded OC4 and at least half of them seem to be expired.
Anywho,
I went on my first real run and saved $78 at the grocery store. I got
greedy and tried to also get a gas card with a 50/10 but I found that
the store has a policy where if the coupon is valued over 10$ for gift
cards they need to be approved and confirmed by corporate at the time of
sale. Boo. Also my local regular small bluemart not only doesn't have
express check out or a decent selection of difference CCs. No
worries though! Theres two more in town that both have express, I'm
gonna hit them up tomorrow. Walgreens is more than happy to take any GC
coupons as well, the cashier was really enthusiastic about people who
brought in Amazon 50 for free vouchers from survey sites.

Hey Lotus
YOU ARE THE HUMAN
I got about $250 worth of stuff
for about $60. So I guess I really got $190 free. The $60 was paying
activation fees and things I needed but sadly no coupon. I was wondering
about GC if the still get "fixed" and 0 balance after a day? Also the
big bullseye was awesome first time in years I had shopped in one. It
sucked that they have no real GCs. It was funny they had sales and if
you bought two of somethings you got a $5 GC so I used two coups and
after getting GC I paid $1. I ransacked wally also but I have a few
questions about high$ GC can you do them at self check out? Or is it
better to go in line? Also have a few other questions if Lotus you
or someone wants to PM me

Dammit lotus I was working on a Better Homes and Garden's coupon. XD
Oh well, this one looks much better than what I was working on.

-
hopskiptrip, some SC registers will tell you to 'set aside the
coupons' and won't deduct the coupon from the price. You'll presumably
have to talk a human, probably a supervisor or at least CSM into
accepting the GC coupon.
But many Wally SCs just merrily subtract the scanned coupon, activate the GC and spit out a receipt.
PS
I did have much success earlier w/ the 100 V, gas and restaurant cards
in the HC, w/ the weekend kiddie and other don't-give-a-fuck cashiers at
CV$, Right-AIDS and Walgreed.
But the Wally SC is much more reliable, unless it has the 'put coupon aside' POS version.
-
welp,
my first day of using coupons was a bust, mainly because i forgot to
fill gas in my car and therefore only made it to one store. tried the
49.99 off a Amex GC at a regional chain (closer than walmart), couldn't
even get it to scan at SC! tried swiping it, holding it different
distances away, the scanner wouldn't recognize it. eventually after a
while the lady spotted me shaking a piece of paper at the machine and
asked if i needed assistance, she took the coupon and called the
manager. They looked it over for a while and I'm pretty sure I saw them

Well
I just tried the $49.99 off Amex and Visa at two separate Walmarts, not
the self check out at two different wal-marts. The manager approved of
both of them, but they both would not scan. When tried, it said "Invalid
Input." The managers were even apologizing to me, saying that they had
never seen them before and were upset that it was not working. Both said
that as long as it scans it would work out. I had the UPC's matched and
everything. I don't have any walmarts near me with self check out,
believe it or not, and always have to use cashiers when using the OC
pack... so I thought I'd be ok with the Not Free pack. I haven't even
touched the Hardcore pack yet. So basically the NF Visa/Amex/Mastercard
only works with self checkout? What about the $40 off $50's? Would those
work with Cashier? I'll try again in a week or so at the third and
final wal-mart in my area.
And from what I've read the FREE Gift
cards do well at walgreens/rite aid/cvs with Cashiers that don't give a
shit... I guess I'll try that too. I need to take my girl on a date to
applebees or something... she's been bugging :\
-
Hey guys!
Finally have a trip report of my own. So far I've been using the OC with a 100% success rate for around 3 months.
Last
week I scraped up my bitcoins and finally bought the NF collection.
After a week of building up the courage to try it out, I finally decided
to take the 49.99/50 amex out for a spin.
I arrived at my local
wally, home to a corral style SC, hands sweaty. I told myself to pull
it together, and promptly wandered over to the tree of gift cards. I
located a $50 amex, and gently pulled the prize into my possession. I
checked the bar code, and confirmed it would work with the coupon. At
this point, I decided to take a walk around the store to prepare myself
mentally for the final challenge. I went to the pet section, and grabbed
a small bag of cat food to take to the SC with me. Finally, I decided
that the time had come for the grand finale. I wandered over to the SC
area, and saw it was packed. There was a line of 2-3 people waiting to
get in. I finally made it to my register, and scanned the cat food. I
paid for the cat food, and then set it and the bag it was in to the
side. Now for the true test.
I scanned the
GC in to the SC with no problem. From there, it told me to wait for
assistance. At this point, I was mildly confused, but kept it all on the
inside. From what I understood, I had assumed this would be a seamless
transaction. A helpful associate showed up at the SC, and asked me how
much I wanted to put on the GC. I pointed out that it said it was a $50
GC, and she deftly input the amount. Now, I had two options. I could
either bail, and just walk suspiciously, or I could nut up and go for
it. Deep breath, and here we go. I slid the coupon out of my pocket, and
scanned it. The machine happily took it, and reduced my total
accordingly. I had came prepared, with the coupon in one pocket, and a
$5 bill in my other pocket. I dropped the coupon into the slot, and then
put the $5 into the money hole. The machine then froze up completely,
and said it once again needed assistance. The same associate showed up,
and apologized profusely. Apparently, the machine completely froze. She
put an out of order sign on the machine, and took me up to the main SC
terminal. She called for assistance, and a manager showed up and
unlocked the machine, and took my $5 out. I explained my situation to
the initial associate, telling her that I'd attempted to use a $49.99
coupon with the GC. At this point, the manager punched more numbers into
her scanner, and walks off. This mildly concerned me, but the initial
associate completely believed me and was still attempting to help me.
She manually scanned the GC at her station, and put in $49.99 off
without even going to confirm that I had the coupon in the first
machine. She wanted $8, which at this point I was completely willing to
pay and GTFO. She tried to activate the GC, but it told her that it
could not activate. I am assuming this has something to do with her
manually punching 49.99 off the GC price. I wanted to get the fuck out
before the manager came back, so I told the initial associate it must be
something to do with the SC, and I'd come back later and try to run it
through a regular check out. I said I had to pick my roommate up from
somewhere, so I was peacing. She handed me my money back, apologized
again, and I bolted.
From this trip, I can confirm that being
experienced with the OC is a completely needed before trying out any
bigger coupons. On the topic of the 49.99 off GCs, how do you guys feel
about taking them through a regular check out? Should I try again at a
SC in a different wally, and see if it freezes again? I think that at
this wally, if I'd just taken the coupon up to the associate initially,
she would have put it through without even questioning it. The only
thing I can come up with as to why it didn't go through, is possibly it
was different GC than the coupon was made for. The entire needing an
associate to punch in how much the GC was worth was odd, then at the end
when she had to manually activate it. I believe GL said earlier that
with the amex you just scan it, and it's already loaded. Oh well. I'll
try again at a different walmart in a few days.

@recklessRep:
We are working on a much better FAQ or guide... something that
summarizes the forums up, etc. but my first question that comes to mind
is if you were able to match the first 5 digits after the 00 on the GS1
(often 99366 with GCs, but we made several versions) to match those same
digits on either the UPC of the debit card or if it has a long series
of digits across the bar, then you should find that "99366" within that
long string. You have to match the coupon and the card for it to
successfully work. This becomes second nature when you use the OC. Just
curious...

[/quote
So even if they match, as far as the $49.99
off Visa's go, they'll only work at Self checkouts... not regular
cashiers? I'm 0/3 at cashiers as far as those ones go. The $10 off of
$50 for Best buy and Toys R us worked fine though. OC always has scanned
perfect for me btw. I've decided on a system where the 99366's always
go in the back left pocket, and the 76750's the right pocket as far as
gift cards go, but this is for my convenience. At first it felt weird
looking at something and flipping through a stack of coupons as i've
never done this before the OC, but people do it all the time. IIRC some
stores have more than the other. I believe wal-mart has 99366 appear
more frequently. I don't see why they'd work only for self checkout as
someone posted a page or so back. I don't have any self checkout's
within a 70 mile radius or so.
-
No they work at cashier's too... Are you having issues socially or
with the machine? Honestly if youhave a SC then thats the best way to
go, but if not then you should have no issue as long as the cashier trys
it.

Negative on the social problems.. like I said managers were
apologizing to me that the coupon would not scan, both times, lol. They
said they would take it if it would scan, and both the cashiers and them
tried to scan it numerous times. That's what has me confused. I don't
have self checkouts, but since I never have I guess I don't understand
how much easier they are than cashiers. So I wonder why they would not
scan at Wal-Mart, that is, the $49.99 off Visa and American Express.

The walmart visa didnt work for me either at the self check out. I
matched up the upc and made sure everything was right and went to the
self check out. I scanned it and it called the employee over and then
she tried it at her computer and froze it.

downloaded all of the coupons, jesus christ this will save me $500 a
month assuming most of these food coupons are accepted. do you know if
you can use the same coupon multiple times in one checkout? because i
like to stockpile shit
coming from someone who is very good at
photoshop, it would take you at least a year to make all of the coupons
offered here manually in photoshop. and I have no idea how to do the upc
codes, and they all look very professional and real. the fact he only
charges like 50 bucks for a collection is remarkable
-
cooked- Generally stores frown upon the multiple use of coupons due
to hoarding, stocking, and re-stocking of particular products. Just read
up on your stores coupon and who knows...maybe your store allows you to
pick up multiple items of the same kind with the same coupon....In my
area SE USA, the wally-farts only allow one coupon per item and no
stacking....Happy couponing and welcome to the thread!

by the way would it be smart to print the coupons on newsprint

to take it seem like you got the coupons from a newspaper
I
think the general goal is to make it look like you got them from a
legitimate source. If people question you about where you got your
coupons, and you can pull off the "I clipped them" story, go for it.
I
find saying that I do boatloads of surveys online and get rewards like
these is much, much simpler, and more plausible. Also, you have the
plausible deniability on your side if somebody calls you out on the
coupons being bogus when you use regular paper. It's much more
believable that you accidentally stumbled upon a fake coupon online,
than that you got a fake coupon out of a newspaper. This isn't always
universally true, especially once you start trying to coupon high value
items. For simply couponing OC items though, regular paper is more than
sufficient.
-
cooked- it honestly is all up to you dude. I personally don't have
the spare money to be buying nice printer paper, card-stock, etc. to
make the coupons look more authentic, but like I said before it's
personal preference and is totally up to you.
Mr.Black
-
Nice to see you graduating to helping others on here Mr. Black. Well done.
cooked,
you said you had experience with these, but I agree with Mr Black 100%
about it being entirely up to you and what you are comfortable with. Let
us know how it goes if you do try newspaper. I am like Mr Black and
have never had any issues with just black and white paper. Even with the
more extreme coupons, I've never gone glossy or in color.
I
decided to do somewhat of a social experiment today. I decided to go to
Walmart and for the first time in over 3 years, pay full retail and not
use one single coupon. I mostly picked up items I needed/wanted but did
not have coupons in the collection for. This was a good way to get a
bunch of good ideas on items I use but don't have covered. Also I
figured it would give me some motivation to expand and keep working
hard. Nothing like a $160 bill with $0 saved... Now that will light a
spark under my ass.] to keep pushing!
On my trip I noticed the
$50 mastercards were entirely stocked up! Literally falling off the
bars... I'll have to go back and get me some soon. Also Walmart has like
6-8 new Edy's bar flavors... and apparently some scientist in the
Walmart labs thought it was a good idea to put them all on the shelve
with the same amounts as the Strawberry.... leaving a completely stocked
freezer with all kinds of flavors with 0 strawberry pops!
Fucking
amateurs, dicking around with my system and leaving me without
strawberry pops. Lucky those bitches kept my MCs stocked or I'd be
calling a CSM to discuss the matter.

I know everyone gets really excited about the GC's and HC things,
but sometimes it feels like the beauty of the OC is forgotten. I saved
$81.81 on a single shopping trip yesterday. Then I moved over to a
different store and saved another $25 or so... That's just one day. I
have been knocking these out for over a year and I can say with
certainty that I have saved north of $20,000.
These coupons have
saved my life and kept my family afloat through enormous challenges.
Jeez, to think if I could have maintained my income as it was while
using these coupons I would be looking at early retirement! Thank you
Lotus for all you have done here. I look forward to a future full of
even more great ideas!

Hell
yeah, can't forget about the OC. It's the greatest one out of all the
packs. I know some of you are probably thinking "what's greater than
getting free or next-to-free gift cards?" Well when you can actually
afford food for your family they will think a lot higher of you. It
makes you feel like you can provide. With the money I've saved on
groceries I've not only helped a lot of people less fortunate than us,
but I was able to actually update my six-year-old (tight fitting)
wardrobe.
I'll also be able to buy my family Xmas gifts this year
(even if I don't celebrate Christmas, still feels good being able to
give gifts). This has just been the last 6 months of savings, I can just
imagine T4B's year of using coupons.
-
Even if you don't celebrate christmas, you always should celebrate
the Solstice. The star Sol is what provides our sustenance on this
Earth. Because of the way our galaxy is structured we fluctuate between
the seasons, spring and fall bring plenty which provides us with the
food we need to survive. Fall and winter, bring us cool periods which
allow the soil to restore and prepare for the next harvests. Every year
after December 25th, the days begin to get longer and the sun becomes
higher in the sky. It is the dawn of the seasons of plenty and it is a
time for celebration. Do not allow the christians to take it away from
you, it is a human holiday. When they try to ask you why you celebrate
christmas if you are not a christian, drop some knowledge on them and
ask them why they celebrate christmas on the human holiday of winter
solstice..
-
I'll join in on the OC love fest! This purchase has single handedly
helped my family get through some rough times. Cannot repeat too
often...the OC is the BEST purchase YOU WILL EVER make on SR. If you can
make the AC, HC, NF, etc. work for you as well, then that's the icing
on the cake!
-
Wow...just realized that I'm now cleared for Karma work...lots to
dole out. Start with everyone on this page + VisaHate if he's not on
this one!

Good one T4B!. Christians weren't the first and won't be the last to conveniently place their miracles around solstice time

any update on the lotto?
-
Yeah. I saw one on the Lottery thread.

Just got on after a couple weeks of being absolutely slammed a work.
Had to catch up on all the drama. Glad everything is up and running,
didn't even know there was even a downtime. Even though I missed it, I
want to give thanks to T4B and GL for all their hard work. Truly, you

i had some success with these today. have you tried barcode switching before?
-
i had some success with these today. have you tried barcode switching before?
Barcode
switching will get you busted - no plausible deniability. If you switch
on the premisses, then they probably have you on video.
The only
way barcode switching might work long-term would be switching the codes
outside of the store, for receiptless returns. But most places are
going to ask for an ID and track, I would think.
Even the Hard
Core and Advanced collections are tame compared to barcode switching.
You can use any of GL's coupons and the worst you'll likely get is a
rude refusal. Worst-case w/ coupons, you get laughed at and maybe a dick
manager tries to scare you. More likely, the store employees will be
apologetic if they can't take a coupon - even when the discount sounds
outlandish (99%-100% off).
And the OC is the kind of stuff sweet
little old ladies use. Any cop is going to laugh at the idea of busting
someone for Internet coupons, especially "personal use" quantities at
the checkout register.
Barcode switching, on the other hand, will get you arrested and charged with fraud.

The gravy train just keeps on flowing w/ GCs at the SC. Yesterday I
got an AmEx and an MC each for a penny and the cost of activation. I
also got a lesser AmEx for only $5 and the activation fee. No human
approval required. Paid for my gas and left me w/ a hunnert dolla
purchasing power, with just the time for the drive invested. (And I love
to drive!)
I think that the balky 'set coupons aside' POS
version may be more likely at Wallies that are located at Interstate
exits. It makes sense that those would be more vulnerable to systematic,
widespread exploitation, and would have the bitchiest checkout.
Oh, yeah, and I got $60 or $70 worth of free groceries yesterday at a couple of other Wallies.
It
all just completely rocks: The sense of empowerment and accomplishment;
the free grub, gas and other supplies; and the feeling that I'm fucking
with the establishment, as well as stimulating the economy by making
purchases that I wouldn't otherwise make.
Let the Wild Rumpus BEGIN!

The Lottery listing is now back up and for sale! Now that we are
winding down and getting back to caught up and normal, we will be
showing some attention to the lottery listing here soon and adding all
the new submissions and giving out the latest round of prizes!
here
is the listing you can purchase that includes all of the Lottery
coupons. Lottery tickets for a chance to win can only be earned by
submitting new coupons or do larger jobs like expiration updates.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/828370f562
I
of course cannot submit, and I completely make no profit whatsoever off
this listing. 100% of the proceeds goes to those who submit to this
collection after SR takes their fees.
Please do not discuss
issues with the Lottery coupons on my review thread. I did not make any
of these coupons in the Lottery, and I do not want my own customers or
would be customers getting confused. So please direct all comments on
the Lottery to the Lottery listing's thread which can be found here:

is anyone having issues extracting the AC3 zip file? I have
tried a few times with no luck....it DL fine but doesn't extract.
on a side note, OC has been going great!!! I have chilled out on the GC for a little bit.
props
on the natures own bread coupon! haha, I was wanting something like
that because I couldn't find the other brand of bread that already had a
coupon in the OC anywhere.
GL is the best!

Yes. Two files in AC3.zip are corrupt and the expiration dates are in July. This has already been relayed to GL.

Odd. Most stores carry Oroweat, Natures Pride, and Sarah Lee (at least those around me).

Was
there a Sarah Lee coupon? Maybe I missed that one, I think I
might have seen Sarah Lee bread in stores around here....good
call. I'll double check again. Either way the natures own is
what I used to buy before I was blessed with these coupons so I am
stoked!
-
Let me start off by saying thanks to everyone on this forum that
makes the community so great. If I could give you all +karma I would.
Even though it has been said plenty of times, to anyone new: read all
150 pages of this forum! Although it may take a few hours it will be
worth it when you don't have any problems with the coupons. On to my
little success story.
The other day my girl went to a spot a long
drive from home. We decided this would be the perfect opportunity to
test some of the Walmart stuff as there are none within an hour of my
house. A days work of hitting all the walmarts we could while still
arriving at our destination landed us $600 worth of AmEx and MC.
Later
that trip we went into Nevada. Until this point I had 100% success with
the GC's. I needed one last GC for the gas to get back. 3 walmarts
later and nada. One had an SC and still no dice. The CSM came over and
tried to manually enter it on his computer and still nothing. Btw this
one was a visa and the CSM eventually pointed out that it was a "walmart
visa" although it looked the same. The other two I tried with a cashier
and although they both were rooting for me "the broke college kid"
still nothing. On the cash register screen I saw a bunch of numbers and
"coupon scanned". Did I just get really unlucky? I was frustrated so I
went to CVS and RiteAid and claimed my free itunes giftcards, although I
had no use for them.
On the way back my friend and I did a
similar thing and stopped at a number of walmarts again. Although I told
him to read the forums he didn't and ran into trouble. He tried a 49.99
off an AmEx and two times in a row needed employee intervention on the
SC machines. The first time I think it was because he didn't push the
coupon all the way into the slot. I verified the steps with him and it
sounded like he was doing it right. Then the next store worked for my MC
GC but not his AmEx. Lesson of the story: read the forums and go home
with 4 GC's instead of 2.
Later that day I went to a Walmart
grocery store and grabbed the last MC of the day. Luckily they had a SC
and it seemed like no one was monitoring it. Everything went through and
all of a sudden this bitch started talking to me. I pay for the GC and
don't even look up to see who it was. When I finally did the walmart
employee asked me how I got the coupon and I explained the usual
bullshit that I filled out surveys. I got my receipt and she kept
questioning me and I started walking for the door. She quickly got her
manager and made her look at my receipt. I had to explain myself again
and the manger OK'd me. Anyway, it was just a stupid situation with an
over-eager employee. Once I pay am I allowed to just walk out?
Just
to claify GL I saw that you said you prefer the MC GC because you don't
have to swipe it. I have gotten two AmEx giftcards, one from a safeway
and one from a Walmart both times without swiping them. Is this a new
system?
-
hot damn, that new host you're using is 10x faster than the last

has anyone ever been denied a GC at wally due to the words
"manufactures voucher" instead of "manufactures coupon", happened to me
today, wondering if it was a stubborn manager or if others have seen
this.
-
So I've been trying to learn how to create coupons on my own and
pretty much figured it out. I have the UPC code down and most of the
DataBar Extended Stacked figured out. Just wondering if the "offer code"
section actually has any meaning or if its just random numbers? If it's
not random numbers, how is it figured out? Any help would be awesome!
Thanks!
-
Offer code typically is used internally by manufacturer , but may be a verifiable code too- any knowledge here ?
-
Anyone know about the "scan gs1" error at some walmarts. Then when
they scan the GS1 is says coupon scanned and a bunch of numbers. This
happened again to me at 3 walmarts. Once with the MC GC and twice with
the XBL.
How do you guys use the XBL coupon. I have tried it at a number of different stores and chains and no luck.
I have no idea what i am doing wrong.
-
If I posted a link to my first coupon, does anyone think they could take a look at it for me?
-
@printerpeople: I'm sure someone can help you in PM, or also I'd
love to take a look at it. However please do not ever publicly post any
coupon you might have made on this thread. Please direct all questions
to me personally on anything you might be stuck on, but this thread is
not the place for those types of questions.
Thank you for understanding,
Lotus
@ready2roll:
We have often discussed this issue. It's an internal Walmart system
issue which not only fucks us over, but also it functions equally
as poor on real coupons right now too. So the real coupon community is
pissed, just Google it... But we have noticed while this issue is random
and pops up at new Walmarts all the time it usually does not take them a
ton of time to resolve it and then your Walmart is back to normal.
Although this is common, it's usually a very low number of Walmarts at
any one time, and so most will work as expected with no issue for most
people.

I
have seen the discussion and was wodering if anybody knew exactly what
causes the error. I get the samething when I try 711 stores. There are
between 3 and 6 in my area so these would be an ideal place to use them.
On
a funny note not all CVS managers undersand internet coupons. I tried
the XBL coupon there and the cashier brought it over to a manager. I
patiently waited as the manager looked at the coupon very closely. After
30 seconds of inspection she declared "it was missing a hologram in the
upper right hand corner and that it should change color when held up to
the light". After several attempts to explain that after i filled out
surveys surveysavvy sent me a link to a free card which i then
printed out she got confused. I told her that my printer cant print
holograms and she still refused so i took my coupon back and walked out.
Strange night of couponing.
Btw i find that the walmart
neighborhood markets are open easier to use the GCs than the
supercenters. They are harder to monitor and the CSM is often busy and
not even at the register.
-
The Neighborhood Market that is near me is incredibly difficult to
do self checkout at. Not only was there a rep at the end of each SC line
but when I was going to try anyway, they told me no GC's at SC.

711
are for the most part franchised. keep in mind that the owner of that
specific franchise will not get reimbursed.. not the chain like in wm,
cv$ etc. Therefor ethically it is not at all an ideal place to use them.
Refer to Abbie Hoffman's sig for an analogy :)

Shit went down for me today! I went to us An american express 49.99 off voucher at a local smiths
and as soon as I handed it to the cashier she said these are fake and im reporting this one to the police.
So I said I was sorry and that I had no idea they were counterfeit and left.....

I'm
sorry man, that sucks. You did the right thing, always play stupid. It
is hard for them to prove you knew it was fake. Not quite sure what
"smiths" is but these have been recommended to only use at big chains. I
too have had problems at small local stores.
Anyway, what
exactly are you doing at the SC's? Does it require an employee to ok the
coupon? If it doesnt scan at the registers either its just the walmart
you chose that is having problems with coupons. I had a similar question
that was answered. Look through some of the other pages of the forums. I
would try some of the other local walmarts. And if you have a
neighborhood store Id try that too as they work well for me but I guess
that depends on your area. Good luck

Word. And dealing w/ anybody threatening to report you to LE does suck.
But
persistence is the name of the game. As far as shit going down, you are
your own worst enemy (we all are.) Retailers count on their BS threats
deterring you. Your neighbor can report you to the police because your
lawn mower wakes him up Saturday morning. That doesn't mean the cop is
going to arrest you.
You have plausible deniability - you filled
out some surveys, got it from somebody on craigslist, your girlfriend
gets them off the Internet, etc. An 'alibi' for anything involving
coupons doesn't have to be detailed at all.
You kept it together
at the checkout, eskimoplea7 - just play stupid, grab the coupon and
leave. But I hope that wasn't the first coupon you tried at Smith's.
I've thought myself clever for passing $20-30 worth of OC coupons at a
time through local regional chains, but I've only just recently got one
$25 gas card from them.
I would take it slower, especially w/
unproven chains and particular store locations. And I'd be prepared to
cover a large territory/route, to really make some money doing this.
Expect that you will find some asshole managers and difficult stores.
But don't be surprised if you find that they are the exception.
Don't Give Up! Failures usually teach you something. Please post more info about future efforts. Keep Trying!
EDIT:
I now remember first trying $20 restaurant GCs at a regional chain,
only six months ago. I'd like to think that I looked cool and collected,
but my armpits were gushing for the five minutes or more it took for
the cashier to get her shift manager, the shift manager to call the
store manager, etc.
I stuck with it, though, and now I get a few
GCs everytime I go shopping. I now do the SC, because it's hard to look
cool or smell fresh for long in the August heat. I know this will end
sometime, but probably not before the weather turns cool and I can print
some glossy w/ back and get back to swindling the naive, apathetic
teenagers working off-hours at the corner drug dealer AKA pharmacy.
-
I second the neighborhood markets being really easy to hit with the
SC. I've gotta $200 over a couple weeks by being discreet at these.

Was this at a self checkout at Smith's? I have no tried these coupons at Smith's, but I know the OC to work flawlessly there.
The
$49.99 off GC's coupons are specifically designed for self checkout so
you do not need the cashier. I've never seen a coupon for a $X.99, they
usually follow $X.00, $X.25, $X.50, $X.75. This may have been an
indication that it was counterfeit. I'm not sure how Smith's self
checkout works in regards to gift cards, and their store policy (like a
local chain in my area) may say they do not take coupons for gift cards.
I would venture to say all coupons for gift cards are counterfeit and
most stores know this (the cashiers at walmart are just too lazy to
learn about it).
What do you mean "they have not worked"? It
would help us greatly if you could give an example of how they do not
work because this could be many things.

Well! $150 food shopping the last few days. ...

water and skip looking for a master-card GC. The magic starts; while
pulling the GC out of the back pocket (without no one seeing you) All of
a sudden you start walking towards SC--- with coke and GC on
hand. (swip and go) ;D 60 seconds flat!!

Ok
almost all the Walmart VISAs I find have a completely different UPC. It
varies from store to store but that is why I included an additional,
optional UPC version of that coupon. Please notify me if it's missing.
This very well might be your issue.
Would anyone who knows a
non-Walmart store that accepts these GCs in the self checkout with no
intervention place list which stores you have had success with right

Neighborhood markets are goldmines for sure!

I'm
a huge fan of the MC in SC, just because they always work for me, and
I've never seen them with a non 99366 UPC. So the process for me is
this... I find my $50 card (do not get the $20-100 cards) and grab a
bottle of dasani or red bull. Kinda shield the card with those until I
see a prime spot to go ahead and hit it up and roll out. I scan my
water, then scan my GC, then scan my coupon, drop it in the coupon slot
quickly, sometimes I have to take the actual card and knock it in fully.
Then I enter my $6 or whatever it is with the drink added. Then my
receipt comes out and I'm gone in 60 seconds. During my testing me and
my P.I.C. were tag teaming them at the same time. We would both go and
get one each, at the exact same time.

Well, attempt number two, and i hit the jackpot. It started earlier
in the day, I met up with a buddy and we decided to try these out. The
nearest Walmart is kinda far (banned within city limits), so we first
went to a safeway with MC coupons in hand - unfortunately the UPCs for
the MC GCs in Safeway were not 99366, so we moved on. We then went to a
target, matched the UPC for the MC GC, and went to the cashier; nada.
after scanning, the manager said, "with internet coupons it is our
policy to accept them if it scans, but this one doesn't. sorry." An hour
of rush-hour traffic later (worst timing possible :P) we arrived at the
first Walmart and noticed that it didn't have a SC, but we had been
driving too long not to give it a try so we grabbed a MC GC with
matching UPC and walked up to the dumbest looking cashier. after handing
him the coup, he asked his manager, stating, "I've never seen this kind
of coupon before". his manager scanned it for him, and then said
simply, "It doesn't work", and gave me the most blank stare I've ever
received. After a good 10 seconds of silent eye contact I muttered OK
and we left.
We sat in the car in despair, until we noticed there
was a neighborhood market walmart not far away. In desperation, we
drove out there and were delighted to see a large beautiful
self-checkout flag at the end. Grabbed MC GC, checked UPC it was all
good. We went to the farthest lane and scanned the card (as I was
scanning I looked at the attendant, and sure enough she was walking
around folding something, barely aware of what was happening on her
monitor). The price came up as $53, and I proceeded to scan the coupon,
and to my relief it scanned fine and said insert coupon into hole. My
friend was in charge of the money, but he was so excited he barely got
two $1 bills in before his hands were shaking so much he couldn't do it.
I finished off the bills and we walked out holding in our excitement.
When we left the store, we were jumping for joy at the fact that our
journey had payed off. After a free lunch at Subway, we proceeded to hit
the spot two more times, once for another MC and once for an AmEx. The
AmEx was a little confusing because after scanning the GC, a window
popped up saying "swipe card", and i assumed this meant for payment, so I
hit back and rescanned. This repeated about 6 times until I realized
there was a scanner on the packaging of the GC, and that it wanted me to
swipe that. Once i figured that out it was easy breezy. I know I hit it
a little more than is recommended, but I was excited at the time, and I
will be sure to limit myself and be smart about my usage of these
magnificent coupons in the future.
In the end I just want to say
thanks to all the people in this thread, I learned a lot just by readin
through these pages, and I suggest other n00bs do the same!
THANK YOU GL FREE MONEY IS COOL FUCK WALMART

Did someone say they were missing the egg coupon a while back? Was
that ever fixed? Are there any other minor problems anyone is having?
Personally I am ripping it up saving a fortune week after week.

EgglandsBest.png is in the pack now so that's been fixed. I addressed an issue with another coupon to GL directly.
-
Yes, the eggs were fixed. A major issue is one of the AC zips, and
my brilliant ass putit on an encrypted drive which I won't physically
have until tomorrow. The work is done and they are fixed and all good,
but I don't posses them this moment, so I'm truly sorry for that mishap.
Full restoration tomorrow as soon as I get those files.

egglands best, deli meat, and oxy didnt seem to scan at target before
-
m3 can you verify the manufacturer ID on your deli meat? The oxy and
the egglands best? I will try to get them fixed if you can pull the
numbers from the product so I can verify there is something wrong.
-
So now that the host is a bit different and there are no dates indicating which packs have been updated when:
when
new or fixed coups are added will they just be in the highest numbered
pack (e.g. HC5, LottoPack #3, etc) or should I re-DL everything to make
sure I have the latest and greatest?? ...that's what I've been
doing every time I've heard new coupons are added/fixed just to be safe,
but I'm probably wasting my time. Thanks for any tips!

anyone know how often they take the coupons out of the SC at Wm?

Wow getting to 50 posts was a pain in the ass!
First I wanted
to say thank you to GL as well as all of you guys who post on the
board, the info on here is invaluable. Couponing is by far the
best thing I have discovered on SR!
I wanted to share some
of the info I have collected about some stores in my area with everyone
in hopes that it may help anyone who tries to use coupons in these
stores.
A&P supermarket - Policy – no more than $5 on a coupon with a teller, self checkout seems to work up to at least $10.
Stop N Shop – accepts “free” coupon items, including in SC.
Internet
policy, Yes. We do accept Internet coupons unless we are notified
of fraudulent activity involving specific Internet coupons. (
have had rejected some of my coupons at SC), it literally says “coupon
rejected”.
( meaning their system supposedly remembers fake coupons and won't accept them)
ShopRite
– SC does not accept most coupons, most give you a message that it does
not match an item in your cart ( even though the UPC does match) or
they do not accept that item. General checkout seems to work fine
but sometimes certain ones wont scan, but the cashier puts them through
anyway.
As im sure most people already figured out it seems
Target is amazing and accepts pretty much any coupon at a regular
cashier. In fact ive had them actually tell me how good the
coupons I have are and how they can find coupons like them ;)
Has anyone tried printing the $100 Amex GC coupons on photo paper and used a Hologram to make it look official?
I was thinking of trying this and saying the survey company sent it to me in the mail, anyone ever try anything like this?
-
First off welcome bready, +1 KARMA as a coupon club introduction gift. :P
Good info on the SC coupon policies, I'm sure it'll help somebody.

Holograms
always make things look a bit more official, but as some people have
mentioned in previous posts this will lower your deniability in knowing
they were counterfeit. Still the worst they can do is say "no" or
possibly give warrantless threats of calling LE.
-
40+ pages behind here.
Did the Soda Stream coupons and
Scott's TP coupons finally get fixed/included in the collection? And the
others that were missing in OC?
Thanks!
-
What's good, everyone?
The Blue Bell is only taking $0.75 off, instead of $5.
The
POS on the SC at my WM has changed recently. (acronyms much? LOL)
Instead of it asking to insert the coupons individually after scanning
them, it now has you scan them all and then the attendant has to approve
them, before inserting them into the dispenser. I was fortunate that
the attendant was half-retarded, and just accepted everything. This is
an unwelcomed change for me. Motherfuckers.
-
What ever happened to the laughing cow?
-
Half of the coupons ya'll are asking for, were not made by me, but by Glitch... I guess I could do it.

m3
can you verify the manufacturer ID on your deli meat? The oxy and the

My mother went to use these but didnt work. They worked before the update. Can anyone else confirm if they work or not?
-
How are you guys doing the $49.99 of Visa GCs at Walmart? The only
cards I'm finding have a perforated "Cashier - remove tab to scan"
on the back. I went to SC and removed the tab and scanned, and it said
wait for attendant. These are 99366 MID btw. Am I missing something?

brand deli meat? My sister just used the Oscar Myer coupon two days ago
and it worked without a problem. Please confirm the MFID on the product
and coupon match.

I
saw this at a new WM (for me) about a month ago, and saw it again at
one of my usual WMs yesterday, except I was using a GC with it and when I
scanned it would beep but not deduct anything. This looks to me like a
fundamental change in the way WM is handling coupons and I'm worried it
might mean the end of the WM SC GC fountain of plenty...

Way to completely dodge the question.
Judging by your karma you love trolling and you haven't posted a single positive post on this thread.
I'm not trying to be a dick and I'm not sure what T4B meant with his original question but I wanted to pint that out ;)
-
I have had the same problem with the Deli Meat in the past, but not
all the time so it is possible that they use different Manufacturing IDs
at different places. I will be happy to make one that will work anyway
if we can verify this. Otherwise I will simply fix it so it works.
@flwrchlds
- I am not sure I have ever seen the Scott's TP, what collection was it
in? If I can find an old version of it I will fix it and get it passed
over to GL. I will get the SodaStream set fixed up for you as well.
@tr0gd0r - I will go ahead and fix the baby bell and get it over to GL

As I stated a few posts back the Blue Bell coupon has been fixed by myself and sent to GL.

I
have good reasons to believe that in situations like this and also when
we here that the coupons especially the Gc ones will work like a charm
at one store and not another, or when the same store now no longer
recognizes the same coupons used last week. They are starting to block
the gs1 databars thatthey have verified as counterfeit, this is why
these new datbar only cpns need to have not only updated expiry info
they need to have a whole new reworked datbar. Even if you just change
something small like the start date or even reverse a number or two in
the offer code. This should theoretically change the datbar enough to
bypass this new security measure. I have yet to dig up the exact method
the CIC is teaching retailers to block these but here is a little
excerpt from one of their bulletins that talks of it "UPC-A Barcodes
cannot be blocked, contact the CIC to obtain the proper information for
blocking GS1 DataBar counterfeits"
It is a good idea for all that
make or even use these to follow what the CIC is doing, smart practice
to help get around their security measures and to keep one step ahead of
leo.
Oh and you definitely should check their new counterfeit list
frequently, or at least before you go out. There are quite a few of the
current OC on there (TFB, you may want to discuss alternate design
templates with GL/PL).
As always have fun, and be careful.
-
Sorry Jacob, I had seen where you had said that and forgotten. I
just threw together a quick list of the missing or problem mentions and
fixed them all. They have all been fixed and submitted and should be
available promptly.

....if
it works it works. The kind cashiers don't give a fuck as long as
it scans and even then they are kind enough to manually input it.
As far as I'm concerned they are all legit.

Sorry guys, been a busy week of catchup since last week was largely dedicated to SR business and no real life shit got done.
The
Blue Bell coupon was one I made when I had the munchies after
smoking... it was just something I wanted at the moment so it wasn't
like a planned release or anything and ended up in its own directory,
which made it easier to be overlooked. Plus it's a regional item so I
never considered it high priority... although I love me some fucking
Blue Bell Cookies and Cream so I can relate to the importance that
coupon is to some of us.
Looking forward to getting back to
coupon related projects all day and evening tomorrow. Then I'll be
following up on all my messages, putting in a few fixes, putting in some
Lottery maintence, and knocking out NF updates which are due shortly
enough.

Awesome lotus, we all understand life outside of SR. Especially after that crazy week you had updating and finding a new host.
We
need to find a better way to submit to the lottery. Best we've found is
an image uploader, but it only allows for jpeg. Anyways that's a post
for the lottery topic.
Good to have you back with us, lotus.
-
I wish I could score one of those riseup.net email accounts.
Honestly it would be great if I found a secure setup where people could
just submit easily. I have everything you submitted jacob, but I have
not had time to actually upload them and properly assign numbers to you
at the same time.
There is definitely some pressure and interest
to see the Lottery get shown some love from me, and I don't think I can
hold off anymore before Shrek starts rippin' trees out of my yard and
flippin' cars. :o
-
did another small run today, just some OC stuff like milk and
cereal, gatorade, etc. savings totaled $24 off of a $27 bill!!! NOT BAD!
I
also tried the MC GC at a WM SC and it worked flawlessly...I usually
had been getting the AMEX but since it requires a swipe id rather go
with the MC ones.
GL, I think we are missing the visine coupon and also digornio pizza coupon from the OC.
I also had the same issue with the blue bell ice cream but glad to see that one is fix!! I love me some ice cream!
One
other thing, I was curious if we could add the upload dates next to
each coupon pack when you go to download it like before? that was a
nice feature which helped just in case you get behind on the forum
pages and aren't sure if you have the most up to date packs...

you got them. The time is no problem for me, but I'm sure other people
are wanting to see what else they can buy.
Safe-mail.net might be a good alternative for the time being.

Just out of curiosity, would coupons for clothing work?
-
Just out of curiosity, would coupons for clothing work?
Probably
not. We have Hanes coupons in the OC, but most clothing is store brand.
Take L.E.I. for example, while it's a brand of its own, it's only sold
at Walmart. I would steer clear of that. A coupon for Wrangler, Levi,
Nike, Addias, etc. might work though. BUT lotus knows best and we'll let
him give us info on this.
-
Several coupons which were recently mentioned have been fixed.
The
Deli Meat had a problem in the small bar code. The long bar code was
fine, but it has been fixed now and can be found in OC3.
Laughing cow has been updated and added to OC2.
The entire suite of Soda Stream coupons has been updated and added to the OCadditions.
I
still have not heard back about the Scott's TP, which I cannot recall
ever seeing. Although Scott's sucks and Cottonelle works fine and is a
much higher quality product so maybe anyone looking for a scott's coupon
should rethink their values before purchasing such an intimately
personal item.
@m3 - It depends, but to answer your question
simply, yes, a properly made coupon for clothing would work. To further
elaborate on your question, any item which is automatically rung up at a
register (not having the price manually typed in by the cashier) can
have a properly coded coupon reduce it's price.

Here's
the deal. If you have a type of clothing in a department store, say
Target, and we have the manufacturer ID for that brand of clothing, we
can create coupons for them no problem. If you mean something like a
name brand clothing store, I would suggest sticking to finding those
gift cards and paying with them. Creating and using coupons for a store
brand at that store is dangerous and should not be done.

when going through SC at WM, does the machine take the coupon and not return it after the transaction?

After
scanning the coupon at a SC at WM the machine will ask you to insert
the coupon into the coupon slot. You put it in and a sensor knows when
you've inserted the coupon. You can then continue your transaction (Scan
more items, Scan more coupons, Finish and Pay).

Yes
I understand the "can it be done" aspect of it which is yes. But the
"should it be done" is what I was addressing. L.E.I., Starter, etc. at
Walmart are only sold at WM and can IMO be considered "store brands"
which should be avoided.
And I agree with the name brand clothing stores (Express, Victoria Secret, etc.) to stick with the store gift cards.

for the answer, but I was wondering if after the transaction is done.
Does the machine spit the coupon back out to you? or does the machine
keep it?

It
keeps it. The store needs the coupon to send it to a clearinghouse to
receive the value of the coupon. If they gave it back they'd have no
proof they accepted the coupon. It works just like a cashier does only
there is nobody to scrutinize the coupon (unless you go over $50
savings).
If money on paper and ink is your concern I suggest
your next purchase be the lottery. There is a coupon for HP paper and in
the OC there is a HP ink coupon.

Just out of curiosity, would coupons for clothing work?
Yes, I made the $20 off Dickies clothing in the Lottery Collection. Works for shirts, shorts and my favorite, pants.
-
Just did my Sunday coupon run and everything went smoothly except
the Body Fortress protein would not scan at Kmart, anyone encounter
this?
I just gamed the girl at the counter to manually enter it, but it was weird that it wouldn't scan.
I
also had a similar question someone just posted above about clothing
coupons. Could you make one for a brand carried by a store like
Macy's such as UGG and have it say something along the line of " Were
sorry for your previous experience and would like to make it up to you
please accept this coupon", and make a coupon for like $75 off Uggs.
Would that work or would it be fishy to the store?
-
Hola amigos!
I just finished fixing the AC3 issues, as soon
as create some backups here I will be uploading them and making them
live. I'll announce that as soon as it goes live.
Other things to do:
1. Grab the last few left out OC coupons.
2. Work on Lottery Maintenance
3. Work on upcoming NF updates so we are ahead of the game in the event of some crazy ass setbacks like we just had.
4. Have some new additions made, make a few more, and add those in as free additions.
5. Answer the 70 (yes exact count, 70) messages between SR and Forums.
Not
in any particular order., but the rest of my evening until I go to
sleep will be spent here working these goals off. Let's see how much I
can knock out.

I got the airwick starter pack, but there doesnt seem to be coupons for the airwick refills
@bready: did you download the most recent pack? I used it the BF coup at WM and it scanned perfectly
-
If you are looking for an airwick refill coupon, maybe ask around
the lottery thread? Or maybe one will appear in the next free additions.
Never know.
I have checked into the BodyFortress coding,
everything appears right. Bready can you verify that you matched the
Manufacturer ID?
@m3bimmer - is there anything you like about this product?
-
bready: I suggest you redownload the entire OC. You have some out
dated ones which were fixed already, like the body fortress one was
fixed for sure.
AC3 is now fixed and live. Work is being done in other areas as we speak.
I
have an interesting announcement to make maybe tonight or maybe
tomorrow or maybe next week, because really there is more important shit
for me to do and it has nothing to do with my coupons or my customers
directly... but it will be a very interesting one and I'm not entirely
sure how the community will feel about it. I'd hope it is accepted well,
but would understand if not everyone was in agreement. If it is not
well received, then I have reserved the option to opt out of it, but GL
is a much more understanding and forgiving man than PL was, so let's
just see how this strange and unpredictable move goes... One thing is
for sure, this thread never lacks excitement, but GL tries to keep it
all positive excitement and drama free.

Got me curious.
Whatever it is I have a feeling I support it

I've had good luck at most Wally worlds, but just wanted to report one wally world giving me crappy error messages.
GS-1 error I believe. It was on Pepsi, the $7.50 off 3 GM cereal, Bertolli classic meal for 2, and welches.
The
good news is that they scanned them multiple times over and over as if
it weren't going through, but ended up bringing the total from $54.00
down to $4.50. I was like....," I think you scanned a few of them
twice."
and she said, "there you go."
I am concerned
though that the manager just happens to be the BMV lady that knows me by
name for some reason....she's always known me by name....I don't know
why.
Anyone know if these issues are reported to the managers?

Blindman! Speaking of whom...BLINDMAN don't start acting like you all of
the sudden WEAR PANTS,we all know better and we know the secret to your

all of the runaway bratty kids and lifting up the skirts of hot
bitches....All the while sporting a visible erection and SHIT STAIN on
your undies (we have coupons for those btw) and yelling at the top of

the register with her jaw hanging open, staring at blindman's junk,
while mindlessly scanning away his coupons... mumbling shit like, "That
right there is the largest "savings" I've ever seen in my life."

raping the store for lube and hebrew national hotdogs for pennies on

Hey GL, I sent you a PM on SR.
How have you all been, my
friends? I've been away for a month or so becuase of a crazy case
load. Haven't had time to print let alone clip or download any
coupons. Hopefully there is something new :)
Anwyays, I've got some btc that's about to clear and I'm shooting some your way GL. Keep up the good fight!
-
when going through SC at WM, does the machine take the coupon and not return it after the transaction?
After
scanning the coupon at a SC at WM the machine will ask you to insert
the coupon into the coupon slot. You put it in and a sensor knows when
you've inserted the coupon. You can then continue your transaction (Scan
more items, Scan more coupons, Finish and Pay).
thanks
for the answer, but I was wondering if after the transaction is done.
Does the machine spit the coupon back out to you? or does the machine
keep it?
It
is only a drop slot with a photo sensor, anything that goes into the
slot will signal coupon in. feed expired newspaper coupons into the
slot, betting sheets, hooker receipts, anything you want.

Bought the OC the other day and looked through all of the coupons,
they looked really good. So I proceeded to test one out, took some red
bulls to a Walmart SC, scanned the drinks and then the coupon, the lady
overseeing the SC even smiled at me and told me to have a good day on my
way out. When I got home I opened the red bulls, they appeared to be
real. I opened a can and drank, tasted like real red bull. Damn, there
has to be some catch? Well actually there is, while cutting coupons
today the coupons made me forget that I already took my multivitamin
today. Does anyone know what that means? I took another, that's a total
of 2 "one a day" vitamins, I've overdosed, now I must go to the hospital
and have an emergency colonoscopy. I knew the coupons were too good to
be true.
-
oy vay, i thought i would have enuff btc for the lottery and it
appears the price has increased. oh well, i'll have it and the almost
free collection soon. thanks again for the OC, it is wonderful on
multiple levels :)
-
@jerryskid: I increased the price by $5 after last nights set of new
additions to the Submission Lottery in order to create bigger pots for
the participants. We don't want to discourage anyone from enjoying these
though, so shoot me a message on SR and I will get you a custom listing
that you can afford right away.
-
Hey GL,
Can you please message me the new OC site with all of the newest updates?
Thanks,
Mr. Black
-
HAHA I'm not going to use this as an opportunity to make an example
showing people that these kinds of messages aren't productive on the
forum and need to be addressed to me in PM... haha oh well I guess I
just kinda did. You're an A+ dude in my book, just shoot me a message on
SR to ask and I got you.
Many people dont use the same names on SR and the Forum so just contact me on SR so I'm sure to get you.

minor feedback:
Pringles, oral-B are 1 digit off
I still can't find any hanes product to match the 5 digits. Does it have the overide?
-
Hanes uses different codes between its socks and undershirts and
maybe their underwear as well. The current sequence should work for the
socks, but I don't think it has the override.
Kaleb, could you PM me the correct 5 digits on Pringles and Oral-B?
-

What
is an override? and regarding the 7.50 off hanes coupon, will that work
without employee intervention? Becasue I also noticed the upc doesnt
match with the products.
-
The Hanes coupon only works on certain hanes products, like he just
said. Hanes uses a bunch of different UPCs so I just made it for the
most common and you have to just stick to those.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Not Free Collection is now uploaded with brand new expiration dates
through December... this is a good sign that things are back to
business as usual. Updates getting done before people even start sending
me "Hey man, these coupons are about to expire...." messages.
-
New to the community! Much thanks to GL for delivering the pack 5 mins. after I put in the order. I'm excited.

Hi kidnextdoor! We are glad to have you. Here, the food is free and so is the +1 karma... Welcome.

Quick trip to Wallie World, $80 total +Add magic Lotus

I
came to SR looking for and most definitely finding sweet sticky
icky. I came to the Lotus when I had some left over btc's
and found something that makes SR all the more valuable to me, I can
always pick up not so sticky icky on the corner,however the lotus
and his new partner T4B now these fuckers are few and far between.
Buy them all, buy them now.
Long Live the LOTUS!!!!

Super stoked about these coupons, ordered original and advanced
collection. This weekend should be fun, Myself,cousin and GF and gonna
do a big ass circle and try to clean house. Acid + coupons = Awesome
-
@Zanderman congratulations! you just made the best purchase of your life.
I
would strongly recommend carefully reading as much of this thread as
possible as well as other research before starting then test the waters
slowly with the OC. I assure you it will save you a lot of
embarrassment, rejections and time wasting.
Can't wait to hear your experiences
-
Although handsoap. If he intends to do his first run on acid, he
will probably be fine. I always found myself substantially better able
to control situations when I had eaten LSD.
-
GL and TFB.....my FAVORITE 2 people on SR by FAR!!!
you guys are fucking amazing
-
Shrek,you sycophantic whore ogre. You could have just asked for a +1...
-
Time for my first real post! I am highly enjoying reading through
the forum. I laughed so hard when people discovered they needed to
rescale the coupons! "OMG your coupons are so BIG!" well at least they
are distracted from the ridiculous discount lol. And then GL's big
reveal, what a plot twist!
I have had some good success with the
OC, HC and Not Free coupons. Even if they dont scan the CSM types it
in. Wally SC is so smooth! I think I may live on the southern border of
someone's territory though. When I go north I often get turned down when
the managers have seen the GC coupons before. Had to play it smooth for
10 minutes as a drugmart manager called other stores to confirm his
Hyatt suspicions. At least Hyatt provides an excellent back story.
I got the Waterpik to work but I cant find a Food Saver at red
or blue that costs more than $99.99 making $100 off a little too
suspicious. Can't wait to try the Omega. Where has the apple tv worked? I
am hesitant to go to the big box electronic store as I think their
employees are a little smarter than the rest.
I hope bluemart
ignores this for a little longer. I have no free time to make a long run
this month :-( Thanks for the naked juice! The McD coupon has worked
several times as well however the resolution is so low that I can not
even read the fine print. Different fast food coupons would be useful
while running from blue to blue.
Can I purchase the coupon lessons for say... 6 MCs :-)

I have some questions regarding the AT&T Go Phone. If this is
the wrong thread for this I'll delete it as I know it's not directly
related to coupons.
But anyhow I'm interested in using the
coupons for these as I'd basically have a free phone after paying the
initial 40 or so dollars. My primary interest is to use this as a
secondary phone for my "dealings" if you catch my drift. My question is,
does using this no contract phone give me more security? Do you have to
put in any personal info when getting the phone? I just get sketched
out using my own phone for texting about illicit things sometimes, and
was hoping this would be helpful
-
Coupon take from the last run a few days ago:
groceries = $75 (CV$, Walgreed and a regional grocer)
Am & MC = $275 (6 x SC Wallies)
McD's
EVM #3 (QP w/ cheese!) (bitch only gave me a quart-sized Coke, instead
of the usual half-gallon I DESERVE. Gonna go back to that place again
& make sure they treat me RIGHT. Oh yeah, thanks TFB!)
Miles driven 300-400 (free gas!)
My
advice - get a route and expand on it! Next run: a dozen or more stops
in all-day bonanza, for maybe $500 in GC. Don't get greedy, one card per
store/trip. Shear the sheep, don't skin him.

Went to use the campbells chunky soup coupon at a Walmart today and
they we're $1.50 when the coupon is like $1.75 off, I just found a more
expensive campbells product to match the UPC, was just wondering if I
used the coupon for $1.75 off of $1.50 soup would it trigger any
intervention in Walmart SC?
-
Yes, they will have to push it through for you.
-
Are the collections down? I haven't been able to access it for over a day now.
Also does anyone know how to get passed the "set the coupons aside for now....." messagw at self checkouts.

I
don't worry about this anymore. At least where I'm at it doesn't affect
anything unless the total sale goes negative, that's the no-no...again,
at least by me. I hand over all my coupons at the end and as long as
the sku matched they go through.

No you dont have to provide a lick of personal information. As long as
you refill them with the prepaid cards that we have a coupon for. You
could pay with your CC# but you don't want to do that. I would say it's
pretty damn safe. However some of the nicer, higher end ones come with
GPS. I'm not expert, but if it concerns you in any way then you could
disable the GPS or only use it when you are out and about and then leave
it off otherwise, but honestly I don't think GPS would matter much.
They are anonymous phones and require no personal info to activate.
Are the collections down? I haven't been able to access it for over a day now.
Also does anyone know how to get passed the "set the coupons aside for now....." message at self checkouts.
No,
all is well. Read my vendor profile to make sure you are following the
latest instructions or send me a personal message on SR so I can get you
right if the issue continues.
In regards to Walmart self
checkouts... before I released those $49.99 coupons I took a road trip
and was able to hit 9 different Walmarts. I wanted to test them
thoroughly and then gave it to a select few friends on here to do
testing to verify it in other areas of the country. I've found Walmart's
that had two sets of SC one on each side of the store. I'll very
quickly hit a store like that twice. Once on each side. I also did much
of my testing with a partner and we would both get in line and double
hit the SC at the exact same time. We got really good at profiling the
situation and making sure the two of us could both breeze through
without the SC attendant ever knowing any different.
Don't forget
Walmart Neighborhood Marketplace's also carry the cards and have self
checkouts. Some of us, myself included, find the neighborhood market to
be lower key and easier.

-
Cool! Sounds like I'll be getting one. Only thing is at my Wal-Mart
at least the AT&T Go phones are either $8x.xx or $2x.xx I'd like the
cheaper one as I'd only need it for texts and calls which is safer as
well because as you said tracking it is harder. Anyway you could make a
$20 off coupon as an addition? If not, I may try to pass the $40 one and
get it for free but that's kind of suspicious
-
Somehow I actually got the CSM at bluemart to give me the $20
phone for free with the $40 coupon. Must have been my winning smile :-)

Hey Guys I wanted to share some stuff I found while I was browsing the internet bored at work.
First I found this post by CIC
http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/doc/GeneralCouponAlertUpdateFeb122010(2).pdf
toward
the end of the article it states "Some counterfeiters have been
exchanging advice on how top talk themselves out of being prosecuted in
the event their deception is detected. For example they will claim
ignorance and say they got it in a an email online. (this parts
in red lol) Such attempts at deception can easily be confirmed or
exposed by professional law enforcement agencies."
I almost burst out laughing knowing they were describing us.
This all said by a non for profit agency with absolutely no power, what a fucking joke lol
On
a lighter note I found an awesome post about coupon policies of many
stores - http://www.heyitsfree.net/corporate-internet-coupon-policies/
I wanted to raise a question that perhaps someone can give me a accurate answer to.
If
I hit the same store with the same coupons once a month won't they
likely eventually alert their employees not to take those coupons since
they have been rejected so many times when they have tried to send them
in to collect?
I'm limited in a 10 miles radius, so I tend
to hit the same Target and Walmart 1-2 times a month and use the same
coupons, should I not do that as often?
Thanks Guys!
-
It's ok guys... bready is new here... :)
I like how well you perceived it though, but we are very aware of the CIC and don't consider them a factor either.
About your question... One store, my main bitch, I have hit twice a month for more than 3 years now.
The
important thing is that you do not want to overdo things to the point
where cashiers start to recognize you as "that coupon guy". I personally
approve of the rate you are doing things and don't think you will have
any trouble. They see hundreds of customers a day, but you only use one
or two of them a month, so rotate cashiers.
Nice find on the policy site. It's a couple years old... I wish we had an up to date one.
I
am thinking when I do our new FAQ I might include some links to popular
stores current policies... and I may even do some picture taking of my
own to show how to match UPC codes to items, etc.

Has there ever been a coupon for butane?

I noticed the Bounty PaperTowel coupon has a bad databar on it. It
has the wrong manufacturer ID and wrong amount! And the Shell gift card

Just got a new job Monday. It's been so hectic that I can't even get on SR and read through the forums the past few days.
Good news though, thanks to GL I have a new roommate. :P I buy groceries she let's me live there. :)
Anyways awesome updates on the NF, just got it downloaded.
GL you'll get some more submissions from me this weekend when I have time to actually sit down and do some things.
Gotta get some sleep though, catch up with y'all in a few days.

whats the difference between using (1) -49.99 gc coupon per
sc/trip/store and using (10) -49.99 gc coupons per sc/trip/store?
-
@LaffyTaffyDog - Not that I can recall. Probably not.
@printerpeople
- Bounty Paper Towels has been fixed and is in OC collection #1. All
the Shell Gas Cards have been fixed and care in NF #4.
@LOUDPACK -
The difference is $449.91. But seriously, don't do this. As Abbie
Hoffman said, you can sheer a sheep many times but skin it only once...
Be smart.
-
@LOUDPACK: The difference in self checkout at walmart is ONE cent...
which is exact how much it takes to trigger for employee intervention.
That's why the coupon is made for $49.99 off, because any savings of $50
or more total (even if its multiple coupons that add to $50) will
trigger for assistance.
Now this is applied to transaction
only... so if you want to keep getting back in line and doing new
transactions, or do multiple ones real slick at the machine by
finishing, paying, starting over new, and doing it again... whatever...
that would work theoretically.
@jacob1234: Thats awesome man!
Congrats! People have found all kinds of ways to turn these into
blessings in other ways too. Some people have even purchased sex and
gotten out of paying for car accidents, by using these coupons! HA I'm
glad you are finding ways to improve your life situation.
Jacob
you have been an excellent customer and member of the community since
you arrived. You have gone above and beyond just being a good customer
and community member, and while most people will never know how much you
help out anytime you can think of a way to, I just want to say Thank
You. This man deserves +1.

I
understand all that I've yet to have a coupon scan and not walk out
with a gc. Even in the rare chance they see I've been let
go. What im talking about is sometimes I'll get this message when I
scan coupons that says "set coupons aside for now, we'll handle that in
a minute" or something to that affect. When it does this though
it doesnt subtract anything. I was asking are other people getting
this message?
-
Went to try and refill on some ink and I couldn't find any HP cartridges that matched the UPC in Kmart,
Should I just try the local Walmart?
-
@Reez: My HP ink (along with my K-Cups) coupon is specially made to
not have to match UPC codes to work. It's something I only do when
products all have a wide range of UPCs. So the HP Ink coupon should work
on any HP ink... give it a shot. Many before you have had success.

I've had the "Set coupons aside" message. After scanning all my goods it just told me to put them in. No issues.

my bad for not keeping up with the community.. been doing some busy
stuff.. but for my return ill tell you guys something i do.
if
you got about $4.00 or exactly how much the gc cost/ you can use your
already purchased gc to buy with the gc your about to buy. but if its
lower it will not accept. theoretically you can purchase a 50$ gc. and
use the whole 50 to restock and recycle. = inf amount.
Good luck.

I think I broke the register at Big Red today.. At the bottom of the
receipt where it displays "Indicates Savings" it didn't even print out
the number!
Just doing some quick math it should have read $141.50. I had a savings of 91.5% off!
I love it.
-
I've had the "Set coupons aside" message. After scanning all my goods it just told me to put them in. No issues.
But did it still subtract the amount? When I do it it never takes away the 49.99 maybe I have to click finish and pay?

@GoldenLotus Thanks, I took the ink cartridge coupon back to KMart
and it worked perfectly. I used the 49.99 off of a MC today in a Walmart
SC, so I attempted to travel to another walmart tonight to try it once
again and the coupon didn't work at the SC. It didn't subtract anything
and told me to put my coupon to the side, after the total remained at
around $53 I proceeded to take the gift card off and just grab my coke
and be on my way, but that triggered employee intervention. I explained
to the employee that I was just trying to use a coupon and it wouldn't
go through, she read the coupon and upon verifying it's authenticity for
herself ;) she told me to proceed to give it a try at the register. So I
did just that, at the register the second employee scanned everything,
gave the coupon a good look and tried to scan it, after that she
apologized profusely and told me that it wouldn't scan. I told her no
big deal and went on my way. Any ideas on why the coupon didn't work at
this Walmart but did at the other one that I went to today?

This
sounds like the same Point Of Sale (POS) system implementation that
chasezip2201 is asking about. After what ilikenyquil related, I wonder
if we click the "Finish & Pay" button onscreen, if we'll be prompted
to insert the coupons then and the amount will then be deducted. I
dunno.
Basically, Reez, there seem to be two POS navigation
"routes" in WM SC. In one - the "magic" one we like - the GC coupon
amount is deducted from the total and you get prompted then to insert
the coupon into the slot.
Some SCs, though, have the other "set
items aside" POS, which seems to ignore the coupons or at least prompt
an attendant to eyeball them.
$49.99 is the coupon amount we're
mainly concerned w/, but I ASSUME that the other NFF GC coupons would
get the same treatment. As w/ many couponing questions, only
experimentation will tell. I've set a goal of hitting a dozen or so WM
SCs in the next few days, so I hope to have some useful information.
Coupon
on! And go ahead and buy already, Boobonicchronic! You're wasting money
on groceries and not gaining the experience that will get you $,$$$ in
free gift cards. GL is the poor person's Messiah!

Yes there are (at least) two different register systems--I have 2
walmarts that are within a couple miles of eachother, both opened within
the last year and both the neighborhood market type small store.
One self checkout will take any coupon and the other one will prompt the
set aside command for anything $5 or over, never been able to figure
out why.

Nothing at all, coupon didn't even show up. No worries though, time to go try
my luck again here soon :)
-
Nah, but neither did the ones from the first store I went to
The
5 digit code must match for these to work everytime. Yes I have seen
non matching coupons work, but its rare... you Must grab a $50
visa/mc/amex where the first series of 5 digits on the coupon UPC match
up on the card... either the UPC or the long series of digits found on
the card will have those numbers in it somewhere.
Many issues I
am seeing is from people who are not familar with UPc matching, which
makes me feel they did not properly use the OC enough to be attempting
NF/AC coupons.
Also, you cannot use a giftcard to buy other
giftcards at Walmart. Giftcards cannot be used at self checkout at all.
you can buy them, but not buy other stuff with them.

hello everyone, quite new to the community, but i wanted to thank
everyone for there hard work, just reading briefly threw these pages was
a gigantic help for my first coupon adventure, thanks GL, your a
lifesaver!
-
Welcome Cortex!
I want to reiterate what our exalted leader
stated. Anyone who wants to play the gift card game needs to put some
serious OC practice under their belt beforehand! Don't be foolish.
Anyone who doesn't understand about matching manufacturer ID's should
not be anywhere near gift card coupons.
I had a terrible idea
today. Nobody under and circumstances should do this. But at SC whenever
anything goes wrong the machine requires intervention from the
attendant. If you make a quick run with at least one coupon for an item
that is worth less than the coupon value, the attendant needs to walk
over and type in their code. If you watch and remember their code, you
could simply type it in on future runs with higher value coupons such as
Gift Cards... Like I said, this is a terrible idea and could get you in
a lot more trouble than if you just got hassled about the coupon and
had to feign ignorance.

I've thought of doing this before every time they type in their code in

require to override their computer system on camera and 5 ft away from

I hadn't gone shopping in a while so last weekend I went to TG and I
lost track of how much I was using in coupons, only checking that I was
using the correct coupon. Then I realize my cart is quite full and
getting difficult to push. Then I look at the stack of coupons it was
formidable so I decided to end my run right then and there. After the
cashier rang it all up the total was close to $210...after all the
coupons I paid $66 or so. I was worried that I'd need manager approval
but she just put it through and got me out of there because her line was
backing up.
I
think I broke the register at Big Red today.. At the bottom of the
receipt where it displays "Indicates Savings" it didn't even print out
the number!
Just doing some quick math it should have read $141.50. I had a savings of 91.5% off!
I love it.

I don't do any of the GC stuff, but on my trip for groceries this
week I noticed a hand written sign above the SC screens at WM. It
said, "Gift cards may not be purchased at self checkout." I think
they may be catching on or someone around here has been hitting it a
little too hard.
It was also a stressful checkout for me.
Damn coupon slot wouldn't recognize that I was putting any of the
coupons into the slot. So everytime I used a coupon, the SC clerk
had to come over and authorize.... And finally, the last coupon required
a authorization before it would go through. The clerk was more or
less someone who just didn't want to be there that day and walked over
on every occasion and swiped her card. On the last one that wasn't
a slot problem, she hesitated for a second... thought about it... and
just swiped her card. Thankfully I caught her on a day where she
just didn't want to talk to people.
This is my first time
couponing at this store since I moved to this city. I was getting a
bit nervous about it all by the end. lol
-
Nah, but neither did the ones from the first store I went to
The
5 digit code must match for these to work everytime. Yes I have seen
non matching coupons work, but its rare... you Must grab a $50
visa/mc/amex where the first series of 5 digits on the coupon UPC match
up on the card... either the UPC or the long series of digits found on
the card will have those numbers in it somewhere.
Many issues I
am seeing is from people who are not familar with UPc matching, which
makes me feel they did not properly use the OC enough to be attempting
NF/AC coupons.
Also, you cannot use a giftcard to buy other
giftcards at Walmart. Giftcards cannot be used at self checkout at all.
you can buy them, but not buy other stuff with them.
Lotus
My
mistake, the first one did actually match, but that must have meant the
second one matched too. It doesn't really matter, I just know the
second time it didn't work. I went on a roadtrip today and got $400 so
thanks a bunch GL, also are you positive they won't work at self
checkout? On my roadtrip today I didn't have any cash at all so that's
what I used. When the machine prompted me to "Select payment type" I
chose credit, swiped, approved, reciept. No joke, that's all I had to
use.

Thinking
back on it... did the sign maybe say "Gift cards can not be used at
selfcheckout"? Because I have seen these signs too, and they are true,
you cannot use a giftcard at S.C. I tried it and it does not work... but
that is different if it is worded "Cannot be purchased" or "Cannot be
used". So I just want to make sure there is no confusion.
Also if
you are not using the GC coupons, and are only using OC coupons, then
you are hurting yourself by using the self checkout. A regular cashier
is the way to go with those. It's smooth and no problems, so why put
yourself through that at self checkout? Just get comfortable with
dealing with a real cashier. Some people prefer S.C. for all of their
couponing needs, but they had to practice and really learn the ropes to
be able to get to that point, and most of us do all of our OC shopping
with a real cashier. The self checkout might seem like a smart idea, but
in this case it really isn't and will cause more trouble for someone
new to using these than a real cashier ever would.
@Reez: I think
we all find differences in our locations, even though it's the same
store, we all end up with a slightly different experience. I've seen the
"GCs cannot be used" signs before, and my attempt to use a giftcard to
buy more giftcards failed on me, so I had to pull out cash. The idea
that it would work for you makes sense to me though, and makes it a
challenge to give people precise directions and recommendations. Really
the only way to master these, is to go out there and master them.

ok so my friends wife has been using the OCpack at a few different
targets in my area and today ran into a problem. When asked for her
coupons by cashier she complied and as soon as she looked at them she
said" we cannot accept manufacture coupons anymore" And went on to tell
her a nation wide memo has been sent as of this morning,concerning these
types as fakes.
There is a sign posted showing a coca-cola coupon,
looks exactly like our format, not sure if there is a coke coupon or not
in the collection and reads as follows
"In bold red caps" DO NOT ACCEPT COUNTERFEIT COUPONS
The counterfeit coupon produced below was not created by
or authorized by cola north america and SHOULD NOT BE BE ACCEPTED AT
RETAIL STORES. According to the manufacture, submissions of these
counterfeits by retailers will not be paid. if coca cola "coupons" is
printed on home equipment, is one sided, and features the words
"SMART-SOURCE" it is a counter fit.
"picture of coupon is next"
Individual
and Internet sites attempting to redeem,transmit,auction,post
reproduce,transfer,barter or sell counterfeit coupons may be
subject to criminal or civil action.
don't know if this is common knowledge or not but i figure its a good awareness. :)

I'm
not sure what this cashier was smoking (probably some of SativaSally's
shit), but I've been using OC coupons at Target for a long time with no
problem. They don't realize that SmartSource and E-Centives are real
sites offering real coupons. I think I've even seen a coupon for Coke on
there at one point. If you keep having problems with Target go to
Wally. I've even had success with these coupons at a regional store as
long as there is a UPC on the coupon (they don't have gs1 capability).
It is really up to each store to decide if they take the coupon or not.
Most of the time they will. Sometimes they get paranoid and think
they'll get fired.
http://www.target.com/HelpContent?help=/sites/html/TargetOnline/help/promotions_sweepstakes_and_discounts/target_coupon_policy/target_coupon_policy.html
They're coupon policy specifically reads they "gladly accept valid internet coupons that contain a clear and scannable code."

Good to know, she sent me a photo of the sign today and broke it all

Yeah man that story is outrageous for several reasons... but the
facts are it's just flat out not true, and that's something that happens
to all of us, managers will lie to us even more than we will lie to
them sometimes. They could never ban "manufacturer coupons" or
"smartsource", think about how major those two things are? They are so
major that a ban on them would cause a huge backlash and you could read
all about it on the clearnet.

talking
bout using gc on gc.. i have used them on sc. i bought another 50mc
with my 50mc. it goes through without any problems well unless you have a
penny less. i dont know about any other gc but only for the MC i have
tried this on.. and if i know how to upload pics on here ill show you
the receipt

No, I believe you... I just know it's not like that in my area. I
have tried to do it with a MC GC and it wouldn't work, so I just stuck
with cash. If anything, people should be prepared with either option.
also does anyone have a riseup.net invite code? You need two in order to register and I currently already have one.

Hey GL or T4B, I just noticed something slightly off on one of the
coupons in AC3....it might be on other coupons too I just haven't caught
it yet, maybe we can have everyone check their coupons as they use them
to spot more issues like this:
you know how some of the coupons
have the text outline that has the expiration date, etc? well on
the lean cuisine one it has the main larger expiration date which is
correct (until november) but the text outline states the date range of
4/21/13-7/21/13.
I know its really small font but I can still
read it on my coupons when I print it out. It would probably go
unnoticed but still should be fixed. I checked a few others I was
going to use and they looked fine but we might want to double check all
the other coupons that have that text outline with expiration dates on
them.
either way, nothing but praise for these coupons, buy them
all NOW! I still haven't gotten into the lessons yet but will do
soon to get into the lottery game!
-
Exciting times for the lottery as well! If I remember right the drawings are to be held tonight!
-
Almost every time I've got a MC GC I've used another MC GC to buy it
at the SC. I didn't realize it was a problem in some places.
The
other day I was rejected by two WMs though telling me they don't take
the $49.99, but I think both times the attendant was looking at the
screen. I can't confirm this, but it seems this way because here's what
happened: 1) Scanned GC... $53.94... 2) Scanned coupon... (49.99)...
$3.95... 3) Hit "Finish & Pay"... Hit "Card"... SC told me to use
Pinpad to complete transaction... Lifted card to swipe it and all of a
sudden the SC tells me "Please wait for assistance".
Sounds to me like a manual override. Like the attendant told the SC to stop transaction.

First
of all I would like to say hello to everyone on this forum and thank
you all for everything you have done. I recently purchased the OC and HC
collections and spent the last few days reading almost every single
post on this thread. I have already had great success at WM regular
checkout using OC. My main questions are about the HC:
1. Has anyone had success with any of the big electronic coupons (beats by dre, kindle, ps3, etc) ?
2. Do the visa Hyatt 40 off 50 and 20 of 25 work at SC? If not, which stores should I try them at?
Also,
my local WM no longer sells set amount Visa's, MC, or AE GC, only the
0-500 ones where you pick the amount. Is this happening more and more?
Thanks again,
WYC
Welcome to the family. +1 KARMA as a housewarming gift.
Now down to business.
Yes
many people have reported success on high dollar electronics. I
personally have scored 5 Beats by Dre at many different stores, but it
wasn't easy. It takes a lot of social engineering skill. Keep using the
OC for a few more months before trying anything too high dollar.
If
I recall correctly the Hyatt coupons are for free Visa. I'm unsure
about whether they would work at SC, but they would still need a CSM to
look over and approve the coupon.
As for the "choose your amount" GCs I have seen these around, but in my area the set prices outnumber these greatly.
You
may do good to do as another member said before and find a WM that has
the set price items and slip them in your back pocket and take them to
another WM.
But please try not to burn out a WM. From your post it
sounds like you have only one in your area. I'd drive to a city and hit a
couple of WM with the high dollar and GC coupons. Stick to OC at the
local store.

Man, I hope GL logs on and fills my LC order before McDonald's closes. I'm starving! LoL
-
So I found out the McDs where I moved to is actually open 24
hours. Sweet! But, I couldn't wait any longer and ate some
fried egg sandwiches. =o)
I have a question for you guys
though. How long do you think I should use the OC before I try for
some GCs? Personally, I think I could jump right into GCs as I
have scammed these corporations for years. I was going to spell
out exactly how, but then remembered that although this is a hidden
forum, it is still public. 2 things one receipt. Those that
know should get what I mean. Anyway, I plan on using the OC quite
frequently and for months (hopefully years) to come. But, I would
love to start trying bigger items as soon as possible. I've been
reading this thread since Friday night almost non-stop, gaining as much
knowledge as I can. I'm on page 76 and don't plan to do anything
until I've read every page. Just looking for some suggestions from
the veterans. Thanks a lot and I look forward to being a mad
couponer!

Yes
I'm with T4B. Every time I've had a cashier manually enter a coupon it
works because... well because they manually entered it and didn't scan
anything. I had this happen on the Pringles coupon. This girl scanned
the coupon idk how many times (the MFID code didn't match but I thought
we'd try it anyways because we were starving and had a bunch of other
coupons that scanned fine). Finally she just sighed and put it in
manually. The receipt showed "Manufacturer Coupon -$1.00"

Pringles has been fixed now. The most updated collection will have the correct coding for pringles.

I don't even like Pringles, but I'm sure we have a good number of people that do.

Also
if anyone beats me to the Google Chromecast UPC, let me know. I want to
get a coupon for that the second it hits shelves in stores.
I might even work on a full page ad ahead of time for it. Seems like a pretty great gift for people.

I've
seen it said several times on here to open the picture with the default
picture viewer, right click and select copy, open MS Word, press ctrl+v
then enter, then ctrl+v then enter, then ctrl+v then enter. You
will then have 3 coupons on 1 sheet sized right and ready to
print. I haven't done this yet, so somebody correct me if I'm
wrong.

Grettings, fellow couponers.
I've found another way to
socially engineer your way into free food at Walmart. If you've been
watching their commercials, they have a 100% money back guarantee for
their signature steaks. I picked up four last night, and about four
hours later I was back with the receipt and the packaging, getting the
refund.
Try it, and eat well this evening!

There
are several ways to go about this. If you are on Windows you can use MS
Word as Abagnale69 said. I'm not sure about it pasting in correct size,
but if it doesn't I'm sure MS Word has an option when an image is
selected to resize it. I make them about 5.75in wide the height should
be automatic. I'm not sure how exactly to go about this in MS Word, but
I'm sure there is a place to resize images to an exact dimension.
If
you are using Mac and have iWork installed the same can be done. First
go to View>Show Layout (Shift+CMD+L) so you can see the print
borders. You can either drag the file directly into the window or copy
and paste the image in. Then you need to open the Inspector and go to
the Metrics tab. With the image selected make the Width 5.75 and
position it center.
If you want to print 4 copies of the same coupon
you can open the image with your default viewer, press print, and make
it print 4 copies per page. This will scale them almost perfectly 5.75in
width.
Of course you can use GIMP or Photoshop to resize them as
well. Just find your favorite method, and if none of us help (very
unlikely :P) Google is your best friend.
By the way welcome to
the family, you've made the wisest purchase on The Road. +1 KARMA as a
welcoming gift. Look forward to hearing about your successes.

You know,something just came to mind....and i hope you guys and gals hear me out.
These
guys work their ASSES off every damn day saving us THOUSANDS of dollars
which we then use to better our lives at home or buy more shit here on
SR right?
What would it be to the ones who save 500 bucks or more a
month(NOT HARD AT ALL) to show our gratitude and TIP GL 20.00 a
month....shit 10.00 a month even.
Do you people realize that there
are thieves and scumbags CONSTANTLY looking to fuck these guys over and
steal their work,turning around and selling it to people? The MODS
apparently don't care so WHAT is the incentive for these guys to
actually stay here and do what they do for all of us?
I cannot stand
people who reap the shit tons of benefits from saving on these
coupons,only to DEMAND that a certain one was not updated in time (god
forbid) or making requests that are filled with nothing asked in return.
Seriously
guys/gals.....from the heart,I feel like I should tip GL at LEAST 50 a
month for the money he has saved me and the ones I love.
How many
people can honestly say,"yeah...I just saved 300 dollars this week at
wal-mart and another 200 at target,but I CAN'T AFFORD to tip this dude
20 bucks" It's fucking silly really.....My point of view is,If we make
it WORTH THEIR WHILE to do what they do,despite the scammers,thieves and
complacent mods.They WILL NOT LEAVE and they will feel the love as
well,which they deserve.
I hope I didn't come off as overly righteous
and uppity when I wrote this,it's just I see with my own eyes the
difficulties these guys face on a regular basis and I want them here
PERMANENTLY.
That is all....sorry if I offended anyone(you cheap fucks) :)
carry on....

Thanks for the kind words shrek. Tips are always appreciated, but
one point I do want to emphasize is that without the income generated
from sales, we would be forced to shut down and would be unable to
continue our operation and I don't ever want that to happen.
Our
good people here are not doing anything wrong, but if someone was to
threaten my ability to keep moving forward, it would be a tragedy for us
all. I don't want this to happen and do whatever is in my power to
prevent such a thing... but also that then takes away from my time to
focus on being productive for all of you.
Lotus
(for now I
want no mention of the current issues we face on here, but I do want to
ackledge that shrek is correct and there is now a threat which would
essentially eliminate this community, and once these coupons expire, I
would have had no choice but to move on to different things in my life,
and that wouldf then be the end of the party. We are trying to resolve
this peacefully and there is no need for a discussion any further on
this forum publicly as nothing said here is going to help. No need for
alarm, it's not a threat from Walmart of anything of that nature and all
coupons are in great form and still working with no threats that effect
anything but my ability to continue as a vendor on the Road)

Just thought I'd throw out some info I've learned in my few weeks of using these beauties:
I
can confirm what REDzyy said, what with 5/5 of walmarts I have
visited accepting payment for GCs with other GCs at SC. I've only spent
$4 cash, and have accumulated ~8 GCs ;D Maybe it differs by area?
Also,
I've encountered the "set coupon aside for later" message a few times,
and I eventually found the solution to it: once the GC has been scanned,
click finish (or next, w/e), and you should be greeted with a 3x3 grid
of options. touch the one that says coupons (bottom-center square for
me) and then it will say scan your coupons. Self explatory from there.
I
too have seen some SCs that have signs saying "NO GIFTCARD PURCHASES AT
SELF-CHECKOUT", but whether this means purchases OF gcs, or purchases
WITH gcs I don't know. And it seems to be on a store-by-store basis
Finally,
a weird thing that happened to me: tried to use the Visa coupon at a
walgreens, verified UPC matched, but as soon as I handed the guy the
coupon, without scanning he said to another employee, presumably his
superior, "Hey is this one of the problem ones?" Guy #2 then takes it
and says smugly "yup it's one of these." I told him I got it form
surveys online and he says, "Well, the problem is, this company here -
E-Centives? Yeah it went out of business years ago, it's not real. This
coupon is totally fake." I played ignorant and got out of there, but as I
left I heard them saying, "We should probably send this to corporate."
and they were holding it like a winning lottery ticket :o I
guess this just shows that some stores have gotten word of our shit,
most haven't, and you just need to keep trying and eventually you'll hit
the jackpot :P
Calvin
-
Do you guys think its wise to pay for gcs with gcs? For me
personally I am trying to play the guy who got it from a survey site and
it wasn't worth it. Like if the cashier becomes alert to you
using a coupon what is your story then? I guess I just like to
have as much plausible deniability as possible.
-
Also a small tip. Say a store is low on gc or has none or
doesn't have the kind you would prefer (green bows anyone) you could
always liberate a stack from another store. Though I would never
coupon while doing that in the off chance they see you pocket the stack
and watch you. Would be a bit hard to explain.
-
I would just like to say that GL is the effing man! I am now
loaded up and ready to become a couponing fiend! Awesome customer
service, great communication, and an all around great experience.
And that's before even using anything. LoL I'm sure I'll pop
in later and let you know how things are going once I have used
them. I have no doubt these will be great. I can't wait to
stock up on food other than ramen noodles! =o)
Edit:
Is it just something on my end or has SR changed the feedback to where
we can only leave a number rating and not write anything? I hope
this is not the case as I don't see how this is very helpful at all.

Yes they changed how the rating system works... I feel a bit
depressed to see "5.0" next to my name instead of the prestigious "100"
In this community though, they can't take away my 100 status... no matter how hard they tried.

Also
a small tip. Say a store is low on gc or has none or doesn't have
the kind you would prefer (green bows anyone) you could always liberate
a stack from another store. Though I would never coupon while
doing that in the off chance they see you pocket the stack and watch
you. Would be a bit hard to explain.
This
idea has been spoken of on this thread a few times. Several members on
here have done it with great success and I myself am trying to. The same
goes for your previous post, other members have successfully used GC to
purchase GC but some don't have stores where the SC works with GC. I'm
not trying to be rude, just pointing out that these ideas have been
addressed, so you don't waste the time of the geniuses (GL, Jacob, T4B
etc.) that are an active part of this topic.
But as far as answers
go, I am also a huge fan of the plausible deniability tactic and I feel
that shoplifting is not in your best interest, nor is using a gc to buy a
gc. I personally wouldn't try the latter because the suspicious coupon
just got twice as suspicious since you already have a GC which would
lead them to think that you have used these coupons before. I've heard
that you can't get cash back from GC at some stores, but you can at
others but I'm not sure. If you can then you could buy a pack of gum and
get the rest of the money back as cash and then use that cash to
continue buying gc, otherwise just suck it up and pay the activation fee
out of pocket since you will still be getting plenty of money from the
gc.
Also, +1 for everyone :)
I would be very interested to learn what stores give cashback from a giftcard because I don't seem to ever see it.

Always like to share my success on this board, went and picked up my
Water Pik water flosser the other day for a total of $10. The clerk was
super impressed and excited for me. I don't know why I've ever flossed
my teeth before when these exist. Thanks again GL

I've
tried it at big chains with no success. I saw online that some people
have been able to, but with further research I now believe that it was
only with the 20-500 GC where you set the amount yourself and then you
can set up a pin online and make it work. As that doesn't apply to us, I
guess we can't get cash back.
Thanks for that bit of information.
I would be interested in being on the distribution list of any memo on the cash-back cards and stores.
I
was keenly interested in what the cc-rewards-max-out community was
doing a few months back, with buying MetaBank prepaids (at OM, I think)
and loading them onto a reloadable AmEx Bluebird. Churning cc/prepaids
to get rewards miles and such.
I think that you just need a drop addy and an image of *ahem* your DL and SS card, to register the Bluebird.
I've no idea if that is still the case, but I've been kicking myself for not makin' a coup for those MetaBank prepaids.

We
would all do well to remember to maintain plausible deniability,
especially when passing the higher-value coupons. I have mixed feelings
about boosting a bunch of 'blanks'. It seems in some ways appealing, but
I think that it falls into the
doing-something-illegal-to-avoid-looking-like-you're-doing-something-else-illegal
category. We should always seek to reduce risk, but I don't believe
boosting blanks necessarily does this.
That being said, I wonder
if we could boost blanks w/ the same UPC, from a chain w/ more lax LP,
and then activate them later at Wally World.
Anyway, these are
the more serious concerns of the HC, NFF and Advanced Collections, that
really need not concern anyone just using the OC's grocery coupons. With
the grocery coupons, you basically just need to pick a
distracted/uncaring cashier and don't get greedy or go back to the same
store more than every week or two.
Buy them already!
-
My own version of 'not being greedy' w/ GoldenLotus' coupons on my most recent couponing excursion included (approximates):
$70 worth of free groceries
$85 cash from returns of couponed items (which I previously paid $10 for after the coupons) = $75 net gain
$150 worth of prepaid CCs for $14 in activation fees = $136 net gain
The remainder of the grocery bill, which the coupons didn't cover, I paid for w/ a prepaid cc, previously acquired as above.
In
the past week, I've used these and previously acquired prepaid CCs for
over $100 in pet care products, filled my gas tank, bought two
six-packs, birthday presents and paid for my laundry.
Buy the
coupons and take the red pill! Leave The Matrix of high-cost food. You
will wonder later why it took you so long to see the light.
-
$85 cash from returns of couponed items (which I previously paid $10 for after the coupons) = $75 net gain
Oh
wow I had no idea you could do that! You can buy groceries with coupons
and then return them and you will be refunded the full value in cash?
That
depends, without a receipt, Target refunds you the lowest sale price of
the item. Up to a certain amount they used to give you cash (I'm not
sure if they still do this) otherwise you'd get a gift card. Walmart
will give you a refund without a receipt as well but I'm not 100% sure
as to how they price the returned items. You will be required to show an
ID for the returns because they have a limit on how much money you can
get back within a year, but you can always go to a different location to
get around that once you max out.

I
have managed to get cash back only from $50 Mastercard giftcards. At a
local chain (city-wide), they have pinpads which face the customer, and
when I scan the GC it asks for a PIN, for which I can just type whatever
I want. Then a screen pops up asking if I want cash back from my "debit
card" and I select yes and type my amount.
I think the key is to find a place where the system asks for a PIN for the GC, instead of automatically putting it through.

I also wonder this..
I
called about bringing back some groceries that I had. They said no
guarantee but bring the receipt and they would see what they could do.
If I show receipt won't they refund the price I paid after
coupons? Or should I just take no receipt and hope for store
credit?
-
You can always just try. I bet they would refund you w/o your receipt.

Trip to old wallie today. Bit of a stock up run around
380 before handing over a book of coupons to the cashier. Really
thought the old dude was gonna quit lol. Especially when he
figured out he was going to have to hit enter on a large number of the
coupons, got better when he learned he didn't have to push ok on the
touch screen and used the keyboard. So after a whole lot of ink
and paper new total is 82 dollars around 76% savings
Buy them all
Buy them now
Long live the Lotus!

Could someone help me out here? I recently just returned to the road
and when I checked for updates, I realized that the HC, AC, and
original links all don't work for me anymore. I know GL has a new system
but I'm unsure how I get access to it. If someone could PM me
instructions that would be much appreciated. Thanks 8)

It
pisses them off but you can get the money back with a receipt as well.
My other half used to work for the bullseye and people would come in
with like the buy one get one free coupons, and if for example, they
paid $75 for $150 of an item, they'd sometimes just walk straight to
customer service after paying and request a refund for all of it. They'd
get the full $150 back.
I just checked their web site and it
says: Coupon Purchases: Returns of items purchased using Manufacturer
Coupons may receive coupon value returned in the form of a Target
GiftCard.
Which makes sense considering that the store would be
reimbursed for manufacturer coupons used once they mailed them to the
clearinghouse so they'd have to give the money back to you.
Walmart will not accept returns for food items without a receipt, as far as my previous attempts go.
-
Got
shot down at WM for Beats by Dre studios, they said they don't accept
internet coupons. I found that ironic since I saved 30 bucks last week
at the same WM with the OC, oh well. I still haven't had a single
success with the HC but I'm going to keep trying! After I left WM I went
over to Fry's where I saved a nice 40 bucks with OC, and then handed a
bum outside my change even though he didn't ask for it (for once). I
noticed the pringles coupon had a different UPC (37000 instead of 38000)
so I obviously didn't try it. Obviously not a big deal at all since its
probably one of the least saving coupons in the collection at $1, just
thought I should point it out.
Thanks as usual!
T4B fixed the Pringles and posted a page or two back, I think. The version on the d/l site now has his fix.
For
HC, you might want to try glossy stock, w/ corporate logos on the back.
Personally, I wouldn't use glossy or over-$40 coupons at Target and
probably won't coupon for electronics there again. In some stores, at
least, their LP takes an interest in individual coupons valued at
over-$40 - or whichever ones require manager approval. And electronics
is their most sensitive spot, as w/ some other retailers.
Just my $.02.
Sorry, I'd give more details, but I need to sleep now.

@ForTehLulz
Good to know! I was planning on going to big red tomorrow to try some
of the more expensive OC collection like the soda stream and then go
back and return it for cash. So if I use my receipt I should be able to
get the full value?
Yes
sir, at least theoretically speaking, that's the idea. My only concern
would be, if you go the next day or something to the same store, if they
happen to have figured out that the coupon was a fake, then they may
not want to issue the refund. But maybe you can get around that by doing
the return at a different location? Or maybe it won't be an issue at
all, trial and error I suppose. Maybe you can test it out with smaller
returns the first couple of times just to see what they say. Either way,
best of luck and let us know how it goes!

Myself,
I would *never* return at the same store where I used coupons, for the
products I'm returning. In fact, I wouldn't return at a store where I
had used *any* coupons, for at least a few weeks previous.
I have
returned items the next day (at a different store), but not the same
day. I feel more comfortable the longer time has elapsed since the
purchase. I figure I look less like an addict looking to score quick
cash for a fix.
And I always use the receipt. I love it. I
unfurl it like a flag as soon as I step out of the car. I have my
new-looking, uncrumpled store bag and I have my receipt. Ignore me, LP,
and go find some meth heads boosting electronics.
-
Thanks, VISAHATE!
-
And I've never even been asked my name, let alone had to produce ID. Fuck that. That's why I use the receipt.
If
you pick the right time, when the lifers are not there, 90% of the
returns employees just scan the receipt and don't even notice that you
used coupons.
If they try to deduct the coupon value from the
refund, take your stuff back and tell them w/e, like you'll just give
the stuff to friends or "I'll just take it back to the store I bought it
from, where the employees are more customer-friendly." (Of course,
don't really go back to the same store you couponed it from. Just find
another store, where the employees DGAF.)

I have a question for you guys, Is it possible to make coupons for
supplements at GNC ( not GNC brand) such a protein powder or pre-workout
powder? Would it just be the same as any other coupon ( matching
UPC and databar)?

Thanks for the great info Abbie!
Glad to see signs of life from you VISA ;D

Rock On, ForTehLulz!
And everybody who hasn't yet, get some localbitcoin transactions going and BUY THE DAMNED COUPONS, ALREADY!
Scan
this thread and see the hundreds and hundreds of dollars GoldenLotus'
customers save each month. I keep kicking myself for not making my own
coupons, but GL's collections have hundreds and hundreds of
authentic-looking coupons that scan just about anytime, just about
everywhere - Wally World, Bullseye, TheK, CV$, Walgreed, Right-AIDS and
many, many more.
Buy the coupons and make the grocery store (and
the department store and the electronics store and other big box stores)
your bitch!

Thanks Kindly ;D

I messaged GoldenLotus this but maybe you guys can help me out:
I
have purchased the HC and OC and just but the Not Free
Collection. An hour after the purchase I am walking out of Walmart
with a $50 MC from SC.
1. I did what you said and waited until
the cashier was away from the computer. I did what the forum suggested
and scanned the gift card first and then did "finish and pay." Click
coupons and then scanned it. Perfect. As soon as I did that I heard a
noise on the computer. As I paid and left they were at the computer. My
question is what would specifically happen if somebody was there? Do I
always have to wait until they are away from the computer.
2. Have you ever had the GC expire? One of my Visas a while back expired in 24 hours but the others didn't.
3. Do any of the gift cards allow you to get cash back like a debit card?
-
Sorry, been a busy week so far, things should chill out over the weekend...
1.
I'm not familiar with that noise... and I would do some more testing to
see if it is related to the coupon or not. I have boldly walked through
with someone right there at the screen. Usually in an area with like 8
SCs and IDK what the person is looking at but I always pull it off
easily, but have heard stories of people getting questioned also. So
what I mostly do is wait for that person to be busy, which is actually
more often than not. They are always helping someone else out, or
ringing stuff up, or wandering around, or smoking a cigarette... who
knows?
2. VISA is the only company I have heard of that has
NUKED their cards within 24 hours. If you get a VISA, always spend it
right away. I have held MasterCards for quite some time and had no
issues there. I stopped fucking with VISA awhile back.
3. No, you
have to be pretty crafty to turn your shopping adventures into cash,
but I know several who have figured out pretty good systems. If someone
trusts me and tells me something I didn't know or never thought of, but
asks me not to share it, I won't.

-
I dunno about cash, but you can get a $250 ho w/ five of the MC.
Why cash out, when you can get top-shelf ass?
-
I have held onto a VISA for several weeks and not had an issue as
well, so it is not a certainty that they will be nuked, just a risk.
-
GL you ever on TorChat anymore? I can't seem to reach you.

GL - I wasn't implying that you were taking a long time to
answer. I messaged you and here at the same time to see if others
had any experience.

One area I'd like to explore with the

trying to get the "Please wait for assistance" on the screen of Guy A so
Guy B can run his coupon unmolested. I know of only a few ways so
far:
-Discrepancy in the bag/item weight will cause alarm, possibly requiring the assistance of cashier.
-Overage on a coupon
-Item w/out bar-code
Any more methods you guys know of?

for sure, also i bought some mucinex at a WM the other day and they
needed to come over and type that shit in too (turns out it has DXM in
it and can fuck you up...never would've tried it had the "18+ frequently
misused drug" message came up, so I took 3 pills immediately).
maybe get an item from their clearance section and purposefully ring up
the original barcode instead of the orange marked down sticker barcode,
i've had them have to come over and deal with that before.
-
I've done some distraction work. If they are standing at their
computer go up from behind and tap them on the shoulder. Start
asking some bs questions about the vision center or something.
It's more important you engage them physically in the conversation than
what you say. Another thing is go check out some items then call
them over and say you forgot your wallet and need it cancelled.
-
I recently purchased the basic pack and I am getting ready for my
first foray. It has taken me several hours over the course of 2
days to get to page 100 on this topic, a ton of good advice on
here. And the drama! Oh my! Anyway, my beginner's
question: is there a day-of-the-week and/or time of day that you prefer
to make a walm/targ run for groceries? Do you encounter more
success when it is crowded and the lines are crowded or early in the day
when it is less crowded? What about GCs (this is for my future
reference), crowded or empty?
I will post the results of my first
experience over the weekend. I am confident of the results mainly
because of all of the stories, good and bad, of what I can expect and
the different ways of addressing the situation. Thank you to all
you contributors.
Edit: I'm starting to see answers to my question around pg. 104, doh!

The busier the better I think this time slot is something like 5-8pm
on weekdays and probably anytime on weekends. More importantly is
your overall demeanor and the cashier you pick think young, minority,
same sex. Unless you are an attractive women then just do whatever
you feel like.

I
don't like the idea of putting any extra attention on myself. I don't
want the attendant to even notice I ever existed there. It seriously
only takes about a minute or two for them to get pulled away from the
monitor. Usually they just stop standing by it because they get pulled
away so much. Stand there for a second, and you will see right away
someone in there who needs assistance, or has a question, or whatever
and I found a majority of the time I get there and the attendant is
already away from it.
Welcome Gidyean! My preference is to do it
when I can unfortunately. I do find crowded is my preference though
because cashiers and managers are usually more rushed and you'll see
more cashiers just not wanting to call a manager for any reason while
they have people behind you and managers more likely to say yes to not
waste any time trying to figure things out.

I agree, distracting is completely unnecessary but someone asked for
techniques so I gave them to them. I did that more in the start
when I was a lot less confident.

Alright guys I would really like some input on this.
I know its been mentioned in the past about selling cards to giftcard sites but has anyone done it.
I'm
thinking the way to do it would be go buy an expensive
electronic. Return it and get a store giftcard. Then sell
that giftcard to a giftcard site.
Why change from mastercard to walmart or best buy?
1.)The giftcard will then say it was spent on a TV instead of to a giftcard site with your name tied to it.
2.)These websites value bestbuy or walmart giftcards higher than mastercard anyways. (I can't imagine why)
Another
option is find someone on craigslist who buys giftcards. They are
essentially buying giftcards from people who don't know about these
sites and selling them to these sites. I'd find a person operating
on their own instead of a licensed business because then its really
untrackable. The going rate in my area is like 70% but I told the
guy look man I know your going to sell it for 92% I just need the money
today. So I got 80%.
-
Allright guys. I am less than 24 hours from getting the Not
Free Collection. I have been to 3 seperate walmarts and have
gotten 3 mastercards. If you are on the fence get OFF. Get
it now.
Question for you guys getting the giftcards. Do you
guys get like one a week from each walmart? I can't believe how
easy it is and I don't want to get addicted and get 10 a week from each
(I won't). What are your guy's strategy.
Also. What
if somebody created a fake survey site? That way if ever caught we
can say I just went to AwesomeSurveysHere.com and got it. So
somebody can go there and check it and all it says after you flll out
the survey is, "Thank you for filling out the survey, we will email you
your coupon." Obviously nothing happens after that but it would be
a good back up plan.
-
I'm pretty comfortable with the OC by now and am getting ready to
move on up. I can't thank GL enough for saving me more than I could ever
imagine. Also - Thanks to everyone posting so much information and
experiences in this thread. After reading all of this, I was confident
from the start using these. I don't know why it's taken me this long to
end up posting on the forums.
Was the free $10 iTunes card removed from the OC or am I somehow overlooking it?

I
feel more comfortable waiting a minimum of a couple of weeks between
hardcore/advanced GC visits, especially for stores that I'd like to keep
exploiting for a while.
You should be in and out as quickly as
possible, never leaving the front of the store. Make your visits brief
and you won't feel nervous about getting a (nearly) free GC there a
couple of times a month, especially if you vary the time of day and/or
day of the week.
Go to as many stores as possible, rather than
hammering the same stores. If you're willing to drive a few hundred
miles a day and maybe stay a night or two in a motel every week or two,
you can really make this pay off with no real risk.
But don't
get greedy. Don't keep going on a roll, if you're getting grumpy or not
looking fresh. I'd rather lose out on a few extra bucks, than even lose
some peace of mind because of an asshole manager. Amateurs accept risk
as unavoidable and the cost of doing business. Professionals seek to
eliminate risk.
I prefer to stay away from ghetto or lower-income
areas where the LP is looking for even their mamas to be stealing. And
don't go try to get a GC while a real cop is at the store. The stores
that have parking spots reserved for cops are off my list for anything
beyond the OC coupons.
(But don't confuse those store-security
guys, like Bulleseye has in cop-like, blue outfits for real cops. I
would never be discourteous to him or anyone else while out couponing,
but those guys are invisible, basically, AFAIC. I would never let
myself be intimidated by them. The ones I've seen haven't demonstrated
any intelligence or keen perception, from my experience. They seem to be
there mostly for show. )
Regarding the survey sites, I though that most or all of GL & Co's coupons reference real sites.

+1 Thank you so much Purple and Golden Lotus for saving me and
family $$ on foods and other items. hope you have a good holiday
man :)

1st Trip Report: After reading all 165 pages of the forums, I
was more than ready for my first WM visit with OC. On a social
engineering scale, I'm the equivalent of the 60 year old middle class
grandmother who has perfected the jedi mind trick. Before I walked
in, I COMPLETELY believed my significant other was an online extreme
couponer and that my coupons were as valid as any other. Most of
my coupons were under $5 but I threw in a couple of $8 ones because I'm
badass like that.
I purchased around 20 items for which I
had 6 or 7 coupons. The cashier I picked was a 50+ year old
mexican/spanish woman who looked like decades of oppression had worn her
down. She was on cruise control just scanning items, head down,
no eye contact with anyone, barely awake. The only "moment" I
experienced was when she scanned the two high-dollar coupons, she did a
double-take, looked at me real quick, punched in the magic code and that
was that. On a $75 visit, I paid around $45. This was
without even trying (which I am seeing as being the best strategy - my
goal is not to see how much I can get away with in one trip, but how
much over the course of years...).
I am overwhelmed by a
couple of things, first, GL/PL - the amount of help and happiness you
have provided not only to the purchasers of these coupon packs, but all
those third parties who were helped out by someone with the
coupons. If you really sit back and think about it, it's pretty
special. Second, I could hardly sleep last night thinking about
the different ways this can help my family and those around me. I
have 7 WGreens, 4 CVss, 3 Tarjays and 4 WMarts within 30 minutes of each
other. Just a bit more driving expands my target selection by
20%. I know I need to learn how to walk before I run, but I am
already thinking about flying!
My bitcoin should be
in my account shortly, time to step up my game and get one of the packs
that has $25 GCs. I see me making my first $25 GC run by
Monday. I got this.
-
I messaged GoldenLotus this but maybe you guys can help me out:
I
have purchased the HC and OC and just but the Not Free
Collection. An hour after the purchase I am walking out of Walmart
with a $50 MC from SC.
1. I did what you said and waited until
the cashier was away from the computer. I did what the forum suggested
and scanned the gift card first and then did "finish and pay." Click
coupons and then scanned it. Perfect. As soon as I did that I heard a
noise on the computer. As I paid and left they were at the computer. My
question is what would specifically happen if somebody was there? Do I
always have to wait until they are away from the computer.
2. Have you ever had the GC expire? One of my Visas a while back expired in 24 hours but the others didn't.
3. Do any of the gift cards allow you to get cash back like a debit card?
1.
The noise you heard was alerting the attendant that you used a high
dollar coupon. I think since it's so close to the $50 CSM intervention
limit that the system knows. I've heard it at a few Walmarts and at one
the man said "it says 'value exceeds limit'" Another time the lady came
over and asked if I requested assistance. I'm not sure what WM's "limit"
is, but I sure would like to find out. This sound is only to alert the
cashier, as long as they're not paying attention to their computer you
should be fine.
2. VISA nukes their GCs after 24 hours. I've held one of these MCs for a week now and it's still good.
3.
I'm not sure if it'll allow for cashback, but you can set up a pin and
zip code through MasterCard by calling the 1-800 number on the back of
the card. This will allow for Pay-at-the-Pump and online purchases. It
may allow for cash back.
DISCLAIMER: I advise against calling this
number with a phone that can be tracked back to you. Use a burn phone.
Also use a different zip other than your actual zip code. I'd also
advise against online purchases that can trace back to you. Best bet is
to just use these GCs for groceries and pre-pay gas.

Rock on, Gidyean! +1
FWIW,
you might not want to mix OC and HC/Advanced/NFF purchases. From my
standpoint, I spend so much more time "on target" w/ the OC, and the
risk otherwise w/ the OC is so easily dismissed, that I like to
segregate my stores into only-OC and only-HC groups.
If it were
me, I'd look for SC WM for GC only. Target rarely gives any problem ever
w/ the OC, and the customer service is usually night-and-day better
than WM.
Have fun!
-
Appreciate the advice, keeping the purchases separate should be no
problem. I will either do a small WM or TG run tomorrow. I
have barely made a dent in the OC pack, so much to consume!
Is
there a difference in success rate with the $40 /$50 or $20/$25 coupons
compared to the ones costing a penny? Should my first GC coupon
be a $20 off a $25 GC because my chances are better than with a $24.99
off coupon? Also, assuming I am no one you would look at and ever
suspect, am I better off going to the cashier? Does taking a GC to
the SC tend to automatically raise the alert-level if they see
it? Thanks for your help.
-
The gift cards are no longer working in my area. Are the not
free collection working in places that reject the free GC coups?

I'm hardly ever here anymore. What ever happened to Wraith?

Yes. I've had luck at places with NF that I was rejected at with a free GC coup.

Ok
thank you that's valuable information. So I guess I need to catch
up on my soap opera by checking previous posts on this thread.
Word on the street is a few went down lol
-
So we're using self checkout for not free? Has anyone had any
hiccups? I am going to buy the not free but I need some btc to
clear my wallet, first. Any old school PL guys here?
-
I made it! All 167 pages digested. =o) It took me a
week of reading hours at a time here and there, but I know it will be
well worth it. I have dabbled a little bit with the OC to get my
feet wet and everything has gone very smooth. Used only live
cashiers, of course. Heard the infamous "Wow, where did you get
these? I need some!" line a few times. I am excited to try
some bigger runs and I have no doubt that I will be saving more money
than I could have imagined 8 days ago. Thank you so much GL and
T4B for all of your hard work! You guys rock!
And for all
of you out there saving shit loads of money, don't forget who made this
all possible for you. Saying thanks is all well and good, but put
your money where your mouth is and hook them up with some tips from time
to time. Even if you are strapped for BTC this month, throw them
the change left over in your SR wallet while you are waiting to
re-up. I'm sure every little bit is appreciated. =o)
Now time for me to go practice what I preach. Happy couponing
everyone! Long live Lotus and long live this awesome
community! I'll be back with some success stories later this week.
Edit: Just fixed some punctuation that was bugging me. LoL

For
the moment, I only use GC at the Wally SC. Plain paper, one or two
transactions per store. For a GC coupon that I'll pass by a human, I
prefer to go glossy, w/ a logo back. And I wouldn't try more than one or
two in the late summer heat before showering.
It's all about
the social engineering, so whatever you're comfortable w/ works (to
varying degrees). And I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Wally employee
that the word "alert" could be applied to. Look slick, act casual, and
you'll slide on through. In the unlikely event that you encounter a
Wally employee, just toss out a nonchalant, "My gf got it on the
Internet. She fills out surveys and other stuff." w/e
I have not
noticed a difference in the reception of one type of NFF coupon versus
another. There could be, though, including max coupon value making a
difference.
HTH
-
The newest NFF either works consistently or may not work at some Wally SC, depending on POS implementation/version.
Just
stay frosty, act happy to be getting to use the coupon. Even if the SC
hiccups, the right kiddie attendant may just key you on through
successfully.
Me, I got a fistful of these and I'm goin' huntin'
for GC all over this weekend. I've been getting up to a half-dozen per
expedition. :)

Day 2 Trip Report:
After making my first successful run
yesterday, I woke up this morning with the plan to visit 3 stores using
the OC (you really can’t have enough tp). I purchased the scanner
app and made sure to check all of my coupons beforehand (good thing, the
$40 pillow coupon had expired – I doubt I would have tried that one
today, but it was in my bag o’ tricks).
Tar#1: I had a
$20 off a $25 gas card from the N4F pack that I thought I might try
out. My plan was to just get that one item, go to the other
stores, and return later in the day for OC shopping. Turns out,
the GC selection at this store is minimal. No gas cards!
I
took that as a sign, went and got my envelope of coupons and bought a
few groceries/toiletries. It was so early that only 2 of the 30
lanes were open, no SC. The cashier I chose was a mid-30s,
balding, overweight guy. The other was a 60 year old lady who
looked like a spitfire. I could see her making an issue.
Anyway, the guy scanned the items, commented “I’ve never seen these
before, are they online coupons?” This actually made me a little
nervous (my heart rate went from 64 bpm to 67 bpm; you wouldn’t have
noticed, but I am tuned in like that). I explained my wife does
online surveys, blah blah. The guy thought it was great. The
total was $30, I paid $9.
WM#1: A few household items/toiletries. $28 total, paid $10.
Tar#2:
A few household items/toiletries. The cashier had a bit of an
issue with the $10 and $6.50 coupons. He was waving them in front
of the scanner and nothing was happening. He set them aside and
scanned my other coupons. I didn’t even sweat this because I had
already checked these bad boys with my scanner app! Sure enough,
he tries a couple more times and they go through. Boost to
confidence = 1000%. $35 total, paid $14.
The response I
received from the cashiers on my trips over the last 2 days leads me to
believe that none of you Gentleman Bastards (and I mean that with
sincerity) are in my “territory”. I could be totally wrong, but it
makes me feel more confident to think that I am the only one using
these in my area.
In closing, without coming close to pushing the boundaries of plausibility, the OC has already paid for itself. Amazing.

Hey guys! 8)
I got a question for yall.
1. Do the coupons work good at SweetBay store?
2. Are the people there, on the hunt for fake coupon?
3. Does the store has a coupon price limit?
4. Does the computer has a coupon total price lock up?

If
you are referring to the OC then I'd imagine they work. I have never
been to a SweetBay Supermarket, but their coupon policy is pretty clear;
Sweetbay Will Accept The Following:
*Coupons that are in date, are not missing the expiration date and the product or purchase requirements have been met
*Manufacturer
Coupons, Store Coupons, Internet Coupons, Local Competitor Coupons,
Catalina Checkout Coupons and Buy One Get One Free Coupons
(manufacturer, store and/or competitor)
*Original Internet coupons
that have a value less than $5 and meet the following criteria: have a
UPC, scan at the register or have a working PLU
*Internet coupons with a value more than $5 require manager/supervisor approval
*Manufacturer coupons for FREE items
*Pharmacy transfer coupons for all new or transferred prescriptions

Not

soon as possible. I gave him the UPC, and I'm sure he'll work on a coup
as soon as he's got time.

Use
the self checkout with lanes. Do not use the box style self checkouts.
You will know it when you see it, in my area the lanes are more common. I
believe the "box style" checkouts cannot decode GS1 barcodes, and on
the NF GC coupons that is all there is to scan. I do not know this to be
fact, but this is what I believe it is the problem.
With GC coups use lane style self checkouts.
Also
you will have an "issue" if the saved amount is $50 or over which will
require a CSM approval (as always). Also you will have a problem if the
saved amount exceeds the price of the item. Lastly if it is for a free
item or anything over $10 and has a UPC barcode (these will require the
attendant to manually enter the saved amount).
Keep the questions rolling in. :)
EDIT:
I'm not sure if I was clear in my referring to "lane" and "box style"
checkouts. I am meaning the layout of the checkouts not the checkouts
themselves. The lane style is just that rows of checkouts. The box style
checkouts are laid out in a square. Entrance in one corner, exit
diagonal to the entrance, checkouts around the perimeter facing inward.
-

You will see an error along of the lines of "Set coupons aside for now" but nothing will subtract from your total.

Hello oh wonderful community.
Not sure how many pages I have under my belt, but I'm sure it's 100+ (oh yeah)
Right
off the bat I purchase the OC and NFF. Had my first OC haul today and
was more than pleased with the cash in my wallet and the amount of
groceries in my cart! :) THANKS SO MUCH.
ONE PROBLEM: The PAMPERS
WIPES coupon in OC3 was denied at Bullseye and did scan at WM but no
discount came up and just froze the computer. They of course have to
policy of not punching it in if it doesn't scan. Would REALLY love if
this tink was fixed :)
5 37000 0062 4 ----- 0037000-889390
I made sure I was purchasing a 216 count.

HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL!!!!! ;D
Like many others had
some shopping to do this holiday weekend! Boy stores sure were
crowded felt that should be an opportune time to get pushed through
easily. Store 1 ..... too crowded to even park .... lol ..........Store 2
flawless execution..... all OC shopping so wasn't too worried.....
Milk, Sour Cream, Protein Shakes, Meat, Cereal, Soap, Paper Towels, TP
well you get the idea..... no problems had one home made one that didn't
scan but was easily typed in................ Here is where it gets
interesting..... Store 3.....( about 5 miles from store 2) decided to
stock up on some of the essentials and damn its nearly free so why
not. Pretty much got the same thing as we did at Store 2....
protein drinks, milk, paper towels, soap etc. Picked the young
cute girl figuring she would be easy...... well total bill was
$110.00... handed coupons over.... immediately she paused, looked
through the stack and pulled out the newspaper ones while keeping ours
in her hand. Now the entire time she was very nice and apologetic
but said she had to get them approved because they were high dollar
amounts. Now mind you none were higher then $6.00. First
person I guess wasn't comfortable approving so another manager was
called.... now young girl was still very apologetic and while waiting
basically told me they had been having allot of fake coupons lately she
said they were having a big problem. Now mind you I haven't been
to this store in at least 2 months and maybe a total of 3 times in the
last 12 months because its really not close to me. She went on to
say "someone came in with a whole stack of $10.00 coupons and bought
items that were $3.00 and $4.00" - of course i acted mortified but
really the entire time I am thinking "damn" don't ruin a good thing
people..... lol of course I know there are others doing the
same thing we are but couldn't help think " i really hope it isn't
someone here"
Ultimately the second manager who didn't
make eye contact with me at all scanned all but 3 of the coupons and I
went on my way....... but defiantly watched behind me to make sure no
one was following and wont be going back there. Oh well
decided to call it a day and went home ..... total savings $110.00 .....
total shopping $170.00. ended up spending a bit more then we had
planned but didn't want to rock the boat.....
EDIT: BANGED "Zapdosss" WITH +KARMA ;D

I
really hope people knock this off and play it smart. I have been
to several Wally's so far with a couple coupons at a time to test out
the OC. All worked flawlessly so far. As has been mentioned
countless times in this thread, shearing the sheep is preferred, don't
skin that bitch! Anyway, I just got on here to do a mini update,
OC so far so good. Going to do a big run soon and check back.

Ok.
Normally I would wait and do the OC for a longer period of time before
doing the GCs, but these $49.99 are so new and there seem to be mixed
results, so I decided to get out there and help contribute. Plus
I've been pulling Wally scams long enough to be comfortable with any
curve balls they throw at me. These are my results and your
results may vary.
My very first attempt I went to Wally #1 and I
got a 30324 Visa (they did not have the 99366 Visa, so I cannot comment
on those). I went to SC (lane style) and scanned the card.
It came up with some kind of "unable to process" message. The SC
clerk came by and said, "Oh yeah, you can't do gift cards here, you have
to go to a regular register" and pointed me to the next register over
that had no line and was manned by a "lifer". As not to arouse
suspicion, I opted not to bolt out the door and casually proceeded to
the checkout. The cashier scanned the Visa and read the total, I
then handed her my coupon, she looks at it and says, "Oh, I don't think
we take these here, hold on." She went and got a manager and the
manager came over and explained that they could not take copies of
coupons. I explained that it was not a copy that I had completed
surveys online and redeemed my survey points for this voucher.
While talking to the manager I heard the cashier say something to
another employee about "and you were at the meeting, right?". The
manager was apologetic, but ultimately would not take the coupon. I
took the coupon back, thanked them politely, and left. So it
appears, at least at this Wally, that they are on the lookout for high
dollar coupons.
At this point, things were not looking too
good. I went to Wally #2 grabbed an A E GC (99366) and took it to
the SC (box style), the card scanned and then asked to swipe the
card. I did not see an exposed area of the card and I wasn't
prepared for this anyway, so I canceled the transaction and went back to
the GC section. I grabbed a MC and proceeded back to the
SC. It scanned fine, then the coupon scanned fine, it asked me to
insert my coupon, I did, it asked me to pay, I inserted a $5 bill, it
gave my change and receipt, then I was out the door. Success!
I
have since been to about 12 Wally's. About 25% of them did not
have SC (on a side note, is there a way to check this online ahead of
time? I feel calling and asking a store if they have SC would be
unwise and would raise suspicions). Out of the Wally's that did
have SC I have had a 100% success rate with MC. I even went back
to Wally #1 at the end of the day (after a shift change so as not to run
into the same employees) and the MC worked there too! There were
mostly lane style SC, but there were 2 or 3 box styles and those worked
flawlessly as well. Again, this is how it worked in my area, this
doesn't mean it works everywhere. But, it does mean that it at
least works some places, so go do some test runs and see what works for
you.
MC has worked so flawlessly that it is my go-to card
now. The Visa gave issues and the AE needs the extra step of
swiping the card (I like the "gone in 60 seconds" approach).
However, I will be trying the AE cards soon to see if they still work so
that there is more information on here for everyone.
Also for
everyone thinking of doing GC, make sure you do the OC a lot to get the
practice you will need for GC, AC, and HC. Being
confronted/questioned 10 times on small ticket items prepares you for
what to say and how to handle yourself when the big ticket items come
along. If I did not have the practice I do with using my own
methods (before I learned of the wonderful GL goodies), I would
not have succeeded at all and I likely would have gotten myself into
trouble.
Thank you again to GL, T4B, and the rest of this community! Keep up the good work and stay safe!

Hello oh wonderful community.
Not sure how many pages I have under my belt, but I'm sure it's 100+ (oh yeah)

ONE PROBLEM: The PAMPERS
WIPES coupon in OC3 was denied at Bullseye and did scan at WM but no
discount came up and just froze the computer. They of course have to
policy of not punching it in if it doesn't scan. Would REALLY love if
this tink was fixed :)

The
coupon itself looks good, did you verify the 37000 matched on the bag
of wipes? I will make a trip to WM tomorrow and make sure the MFID has
not changed. If the Pampers Wipes you were trying to purchase had 37000
in the UPC the coupon should have worked.

Hmm, where do I begin...
@VISAHATE: Great to hear from you my long time bud. Glad to hear things are still working out there for you. +karma as always!
@Abagnale69:
glad to hear you are having some success and sound really happy you
purchased the packs. MC is by far my go to card also. You hit on some
great points and I couldn't have said it any better. I can't stress the
importance of practicing with the OC first enough... but I can't tell
people how to use something they paid for, but I can require them to pay
for something before they are eligible to buy other things. It would be
reckless and irresponsible if I would sell these collections to someone
with 0 experience. They would not be prepared for what could happen,
and likely there lack of confidence from a lack of experience would end
their will to try rather quickly. It's just bad for them, me and all of
us.
@Zapdosss: I always use the cottenelle wipes myself, so I
can't say for sure, but one thing I have had my mind on for quite some
time is to redo some of the ultra popular coupons that seem to cause
iussues at places like Target. It is as easy as me just changing the
denomination of how much savings is on the coupons, and while they work
great at many stores, we can't really have a few stragglers that won't
work at one spot, it's again a liability so I'll change some things up
for the vets who already know exactly what is going on.
@Everyone
in general: I know I have been talking about a F.A.Q for quite some
time, and I am looking forward to doing it right and making it much
easier on new users, but I only plan to mention things that I know as
fact either from experience or from a large majority of feedback. Some
of the things you will read on this forum review thread are location
specific, cashier/manager issues, or even at times user error. Don't
take everything you read on this thread as universal truth, but just as
guidelines to try to follow at first until you start making your own
personal set of guidelines which work for you.
@Jacob: Have they
begun to stock them in stores again at all? I already have 4 Chromecasts
myself. I have a set of goals and objectives for the immediate future
here while working on SR, but it's never too early for me to really
start working on something special this Christmas!
@Gidyean:
Thanks for keeping us updated on your success. The goal for all of us
I'm sure is to save as much money as we can using these so that we can
save up and use that extra cash on other things in life that don't have
UPCs on them. I hope your savings continue to grow and add up, because
for me to be happy with what is going on, people need to do
exponentially better than just earning back their investment. If someone
for any reason cannot make their money back with these, I will give
100% refund. As PL I stood by my word, and so far as GL I have not had
one person ask for a refund yet.
Can someone get me some
information on the BLU ecig? Do we want the one that lasts for a few
days and then you toss it? Refills for the non-disposable ones? The
actual starter kits or what?

How does the idea of an Original Collection part Two sound?
Including
many brand new never before released coupons, also some different
options for sizes or prices of existing OC coupons. I'm looking into
creating brand new templates too so in many ways it would be a
completely clean and new, never before seen collection.
It would
be geared towards the veterans, and still won't be able to be purchased
without owning the original collection. This is by design to keep the
vets at the cutting edge. Also it generates new income for me, from
people who are purchasing it because of how much they know they will
save and because they are happy to support my continued efforts.
Will
have a lower price than the OC, but again, it won't be available for
anyone who doesn't own the OC. The veterans know how lovely that is when
you have an edge like that. I believe most of us would be happy to
invest another $40 for this kind of thing. And as always, if anyone
doesn't manage to make way more than $40 back.... 100% refund guaranteed
even post finalizing. I trust my customers here and that has largely
proven to be a successful way to handle business here on the Road.

Glad to see your still up and running after all that BS with
Nickmode. I ran into a similar problem with e3 trying to steal my

Lotus ive given your coupons to a lot of people who reall needed
them.
On another note is the hardcore collection still
running strong? Id like some recent feedback before i go try them
out again.

MrBlack999, that was a special change I made after reading your
message to try and fix your issue, my mistake was not changing the html
file to reflect the new file location. I just sent you a message with
the exact location of your file.
@LasVegasLottos: Thanks for the
kind words and for spreading the word. I'm excited to see the services
you are bringing to the Road. It looks like a lot of fun and really well
thought out games you have. When I get the chance to try my hand on
some of the action, I'll be sure to come let everyone know what's going
on with your business. Always happy to have other vendors as friends
here.
EDIT: I have not received any reports that suggest they
don't work as good as ever in the Hardcore Collection. I think many
people are just on the Not Free collection exclusively right now because
of the value found in it through Walmart's selfcheckouts and also
because some feel it's easier to pull those off when they don't say
"FREE" when dealing with a live cashier. Some prefer "FREE" though, so
we did them both ways.

My
vote goes for the starter kit and cartridges as the people using the
coupon will most likely be people that are not first time users of Blu.
Seems the disposable ones are more for people who are just starting out.

"How does the idea of an Original Collection part Two sound?"
Shut up and take my money already!! I have had the OC less than a week and I would get OCII the minute you list it.
Over
the course of 5 days, I’ve visited 4 WMs, 3 Tarj and 2 Walg. I
stuck to the OC, kept it low-key just getting $40-$60 in items and using
$20-$30 in coupons. Everything went flawlessly.
My
favorite part was when one of the cashier’s at WM saw that 2 of my
coupons were for $10 and one was $8 or $9. As she was looking at
them she said, “oh, I’m going to have to call someone over to approve
these.” Then she scanned the coupons, they worked, and that was
good enough for her. "Well, they went through, never mind.”
Damn straight!
-
Everything on the Pampers wipes coupons is correct. Both barcodes scan fine and are coded correctly.
-
general mills $2.50 cereal coupon came up as "expired" today.
I'm not sure if it is from the coupon or from my local wally worlds

i would happily invest in an OC2, just going off the success i have
had with the NF and OC collections i have easily made my money back just
in gas savings with the GC's and easily triple if not more of the money
i invested on food savings, i couldnt provide you with enough thanks to
show my appreciation

Yeah! I should start rock&rolling in the next few weeks once

-

Yes
you are right bud, except at Target they have banned certain items at
certain prices. If the price is shifted slightly either way it works
again. It's pretty rare, but it happens and in this case I believe
that's all it is.
Gotta look into it thought and test it out, just a hunch, but I think it's correct.

Have you downloaded the most recent pack? The coupon has an expiration date encoded for Nov 30, 2013.
Once you've confirmed it's not the coupon I'd try at another WM.
If
you have an Android or iOS device there are a few apps that will scan
the coupon and check if there's an expiration date encoded.

Ok, yes it was an older one that said it was supposed to expire 10-31-13, sorry.

is the Android app that does the coupon scanning? Somebody
suggested the iphone app in the past, but ya, I have an android.
One
tip I'm thinking is a good one is only print what you are going to use,
that way they don't go out of date, and they aren't sitting around your
house.

I'll give the Pamper wipes another go today.
I was using self
checkout with the wipes, so I'm not sure if the type of code the machine
scans on the coupon is a factor. Anyway to tell? I know both codes
ultimately contain the same discount and data.
!!! Had success with my first $49.99 off MC GC yesterday !!!
Couldn't help but smile all the way back to the car :D :D :D
Question:
Are there any guidelines when using these Debit GCs? I already used it
on gas that I needed, but I'm skeptical on using it for goods that can
trace back to me. Say --Macys, swiping your PERSONAL card then paying
with a GC -- or -- Using the GC to purchase something on Amazon shipped
to your house. I don't know the extent someone would go trying to catch
someone purchasing these cards with coupons.
Many thanks for all the great information and people in this thread! :)
-
@Zapdosss - The general consensus around here is, when i doubt,
don't do it. If you think using a coupon'd gift card can be traced back
to you by an item, don't buy it.. But then again, all gas stations have
cameras because of drive-offs and gas station stick ups... So
technically your license plate could be captured when buying gas...
Personally
I have confidence that the agencies engaged in law enforcement have
bigger fish to fry and better use of their resources than to do the
investigative work required after the POS purchase of the GC to track
down the end user. Particularly considering the user could simply claim
they bought it from someone they met on craigslist or something similar.

using
a couponed gift card at a gas station is safer then using the coupon at
walmart. walmart uses all digital systems and keep logs for
years(ive actually had to have asset protection pull a video a year ago
for work and they save everything lol) gas stations normally dont
save logs for that long and couponed gift cards would take atleast 30
days if not longer to go thru the system and by then your clear.
ive been doing this long enough that a lot of my paranoia has gone
away. Using them is safer than getting them, and getting them isnt
dangerous. ive never had any issues with any of the gift cards
ive gotten and ive kept some for months and they still worked without
issues

assessments of how customers had paid for gift cards...
If
Sony can't keep up with how a customer paid for a $5,000 Sony gift

To not exploit the retail machine, Wraithe, is tantamount to helping
the evil pig capitalists, to continue to rape the People and demolish
American individualism and personal liberty.
And I loves me some free stuff, too!
Speaking of Am and MC, I picked up five of those between only three Wallies this weekend.
I
also managed to turn about $250 worth of couponed goods into ca$h and
picked up nearly $300 worth of couponed groceries (between about a
half-dozen Wallies and a Pubx.) The obligatory McArtery Clogger (Thank
You, T4B!) completed the weekend of pillaging.
Thank You, GoldenLotus!

Just tallied up savings from 5 weeks of grocery shopping. Saved over $450 so far.
Noticed
at two Tarjays that the MFID on the PF Chang's and Bertolli frozen
meals has changed. Was 36200 I think and it's now 31000 for
both. I assume the coups no longer work but I didn't try.
Also Wally's has rejected the Bluebell coup on me twice at different
stores. It scans fine w/ the scanner app but no joy at the
register. CSM pushed it through at one store. I left it
sitting at the register at the other when the cashier just gave me a
dumb look over it.
I am definitely down for an OC2 if the Lotus decides to put one up.
-
Good call on the clueless cashier, ilikenyquil. There are plenty of
other Wallies (and bullseyes and CV$ and Wallgreeds, etc.) that WILL
take the coupon.
Wally has been a bitch lately about coupons in
general, especially anything printed "off the Internet." They still push
nearly all of them through, but it takes twice as long as it used to
and often requires a CSM's approval.
Fortunately, everywhere else
is as smooth as glass. Even Krog has treated me right, when I've tried
them. I had a greenhorn Pubx employee take a dozen coupons from me this
weekend, w/ only one little hiccup which he still was able to push
through quickly.
I had gone to the Pubx just to kill time, giving
a squad car a chance to vacate a nearby Wally. Sure enough, he was gone
when I came out, so I swung by there and picked up a couple of GC and
was out of town in mere minutes. Fuck the groceries, I have no major
problem getting GC at many or most Wally SC, so that's my focus there.

Hello, I have been around for a very long time but just
recently decided to update my forum account by spamming to 50 so I could
participate in your discussion. I absolutely love the coupons. They
have made my life much more simple. I have a quick question for you
veterans though. I've been reading this thread for about a week now and I
remember someone saying that they got 10 MCs at once at the WM SC. I
believe it was GL himself. Today, hypothetically I may have had a friend
with me and got ten of them, all separate transactions paid for with
cash and the friend got 10 as well. We do not plan on going back to this
WM again in the foreseeable future. We are a little bit alarmed though
about when they do collect the coupons and see that they are all the
same pin number (on the coupon) what kind of heat we could expect. We
realize we were a bit greedy doing $1,000 in one run, but we didn't
figure we would actually get arrested for it. My intent is not to spoil
this for anyone else. Normally I would just get one or two at a time in
various locations around a large metropolitan area. Do you think we will
be caught for what happened today and prosecuted? We already
anonymously unloaded all of the gift cards. Any feedback would be
appreciated. Thanks, and long live GL!
This is fuckin sweet!

believe it was GL himself. Today, hypothetically I may have had a friend
with me and got ten of them, all separate transactions paid for with
cash and the friend got 10 as well. We do not plan on going back to this
WM again in the foreseeable future. We are a little bit alarmed though
about when they do collect the coupons and see that they are all the
same pin number (on the coupon) what kind of heat we could expect. We
realize we were a bit greedy doing $1,000 in one run, but we didn't
figure we would actually get arrested for it. My intent is not to spoil
this for anyone else. Normally I would just get one or two at a time in
various locations around a large metropolitan area. Do you think we will
be caught for what happened today and prosecuted? We already
anonymously unloaded all of the gift cards. Any feedback would be
appreciated. Thanks, and long live GL!
This is fuckin sweet!
Is
common sense really this lost on some people? Who cares if you
plan on going back to that WM again? How much heat do you think
you have created at that place now? Now what if some unsuspecting
fellow couponer decides NOT to be a greedy [explitive] and try to get
just one or two GCs from this same location, a location that they are
now watching heavily? Your girl may like 30 seconds of hard and
fast, but try to spread things out a little with the GC so that you
don't mess it up for everyone. wtf..
-
Been getting good luck with the MC GC :)
Anyone else with the
NFF collection, do you have any particular luck with any specific
stores(WM, bullseye) with the other NFF coupons for place like subway,
amc, etc..?
Know which codes respond to which stores?

general
mills $2.50 cereal coupon came up as "expired" today. I'm not
sure if it is from the coupon or from my local wally worlds computer.
hmm
I had an issue with the milk coupon as well as the cereal one coming up
expired, going to try them at a different WM today and hopefully they
haven't been flagged system wide since those are the two coupons I use
more than any!
-
@Abagnale69- I've used Yelp reviews of specific Wally's to verify if they have SC's.
@GoldenLotus- Definitely down for an OC2.
Update
on my most recent shopping experience- Wally had lines up the wazoo so I
decided to pay for my small amount of OC shopping at SC...mistake. Many
of the coupons required the attendant to come over to approve which she
usually did no problem, it was very busy after all and she wanted to
keep the area moving and I was slowing it down. My error was not
checking the coupons with the iPhone app and I was working with some
prints I had made when some of the updates were first released with
errors that were subsequently fixed. Nothing like regular checkout with
OC shopping for sure.
Hitting up everyone with a plus...definitely the best community here on the SR forum.
-
Everything on the Pampers wipes coupons is correct. Both barcodes scan fine and are coded correctly.
Yes
you are right bud, except at Target they have banned certain items at
certain prices. If the price is shifted slightly either way it works
again. It's pretty rare, but it happens and in this case I believe
that's all it is.
Gotta look into it thought and test it out, just a hunch, but I think it's correct.
Lotus
I
may be wrong, but I think they are blocking known gs1 datbars. When you
have encountered this and made changes were the offer codes changed
out? Reason I ask is during my homework I noticed that some of the cpns
posted on cic have the offer codes written on them and circled. Maybe
test one that is known to be blocked with just the offer code switched.
I'll give it a shot if you know one that is blocked for sure.
-
The coding on general mills and milk are good. Make sure you have
the most up to date General Mills coupon if it is coming up expired that
should solve it. As for the milk, my "Old Sparky" is blocking them as
well, they usually push it through manually anyway, but I will change
the offer code out and see if that fixes the problem.
I will post again once it is ready to download.
-
It seems like there are always updates on the coupons.
How often should we re-download them? Whenever a notice is posted?
My Bestest
-
OC2 has a slightly modified version of the Horizon Milk and is ready for download.
@Zapdosss
- Typically updates happen all at once before the expiration dates hit.
When problems are found we are proactive with fixes and outline them
here on the forum. We want everyone to have the most up to date
information and the most functional product they can at all times. So,
no there is no set time frame to re-download the collections, but if you
follow the forums you will know when things get fixed or changed.

I would like to add my vote for the Blu eCig starter pack and
refills. I used a MC to purchase my first starter pack but coupons would
be great too!

Pretty good success for the most part so far.
Great success with the OC besides the wipes which I plan on trying again soon.
I've
mostly been(trying to at least) messing with the 49.99 MC GC from the
NFF collection. I've hit up a total of 6 WM(4 regular, 2 neighborhood)
with SC's and had success only at 2. A couple I didn't have success at
were completely out of these cards. I'm not sure if its just others just
stocking up on these cards and leaving others dry or the stores are
pulling them.
Anyone else using these NFF coupons have any insight on this or anyone at all? Any recent success?
My Bestest :D

Unmotivated
employees and inept managers keep the cards out of stock, like the
out-of-stock groceries and the clothing that is never in my size. Don't
let your doubts keep you from trying anywhere you safely can.
I've
thought about VH's suggestion about boosting some 'blank' cards from
one store and using them at another. Unfortunately, that's part of the
MO, too, of a scam involving neatly cutting open a blank, unactivated
card pack, and substituting the fresh card w/ one that's already spent.
The scammers then return the neatly resealed package to the store shelf,
wait for a stooge to buy and activate the card, which the scammers, of
course, have kept and can now spend anywhere.
Anyway, LP may be looking for people to swipe these otherwise worthless blanks.
I
keep a Steak & Shake coupon or another giftcard coupon for
something that they'll probably have, so I can claim some victory. Or a
pocket w/ about $50 worth of coupons for stuff you need, could also save
you from a totally dry run.
I wouldn't want to have a pocket
full of high-value coupons, but a $20 off a $25 GC NFF coupon could net
you $16 or so for your effort, if a $25 GC is all they have.

I know this is the coup thread but such it's such a similar scam I
was wondering if anyone here has any experience with bar coding?
It's
very simple. Find to similar items say 2 flash drives one for $10
one for $50. Copy the bar code from the 10 dollar one and use a
sticker to put it over the barcode for the 50 dollar one than checkout.
There is basically infinite variations of this and can work at literally any store.
I've
yet to do it but It seems simple enough. I know loads of people
have been busted for it but that's because they are running rings making
100k a month and shit.

This has been brought up before in the thread. I'll repeat (paraphrasing of course) what was previously said...
You
have no deniability when you are "barcoding" with the coupons you have
the multitudes of deniability. You just downloaded it off the internet.
When it comes to "barcoding" they will have you on camera doing this and
you run a huge risk of getting caught. When you get caught you can't
say "I didn't do it" when they have you on camera doing it.
Better to get a coupon for $40 off that $50 flash drive and pay $10 than risk getting caught "barcoding."
Now, if we can get back to the point of this thread... Reviewing GL's coupons... A+++++ :P

Abbie,
Love the quote in your sig.

[old man ramble]
About a million years ago, I hung w/ some people
who did this, for example picking up 10 lbs of whole beef tenderloin,
with an 8 oz. chicken gizzards price sticker on it. The friend who
introduced me to price-swapping later got fired from (and arrested at)
his own retail job, for giving friends sweetheart deals for (free)
merchandise. His girlfriend hitchhiked all the time, so God only knows
whatever happened to her. God, she had a sweet pair of tits.
A guy
who stayed w/ them for a while was a sweetheart cashier at a grocery
store. Once, we paid pocket change for about $150 worth of groceries (a
whole fucking lot of grub, way back then), including some boxed Blue Nun
we were able to get around the blue laws with.
[/old man ramble]
What, huh, where am I. Oh, yeah, bar coding is lacking the kind of plausible deniability we mere 'extreme couponers' maintain.
Again,
doing anything blatantly illegal in the store, like boosting stuff or
slapping on fraudulent barcodes, just ramps up the risk by an order of
magnitude or two. I'd actually be less uncomfortable going the other
way, replacing a lower-value code with a higher-value code, then making a
receiptless return.
I have no experience w/ receipt-less
returns, though I understand Bessie Bi will do these. And BBB is
supposed to be like taking candy from a baby, or at least had that rep a
year or two ago.
It sounds like the LP Depts of many national
hardware chains take barcoding as a serious threat. Compared to even HC
couponing, I would want to do even more traveling and give my victim
stores even more time to cool down, if I were perpetrating bar code
fraud.
Yeah, the potential payoff is larger and can be gotten
quicker, but why take such a substantial risk of getting busted? Why,
when you could easily exploit high-value coupons for years and years,
with no legal problems to fuck up your life.
Just my $.02.
Oh, thanks, jacob. Yeah, shits much better now, and all thanks to a little coupon.
-
I agree coups are a way better long term scam/safe but you guys are
not being creative enough with it. I'll leave it at that because
I'm not trying too step on any toes.
-
Thinking about barcode-swapping further, your increased risk with
that extends to your car and house, as well as in the store. Anywhere
you might have barcode stickers or merchandise, you have, again, no
plausible deniability.
You would be hard-pressed to come up with a
legitimate excuse for the barcodes, and cops would very possibly be
able to trace bar-coded equipment by serial number. LE is well-aware of
this expensive type of fraud and will have a keen interest in doing
whatever they legally can to fuck with you.
Hardcore couponing,
of the GL variety, on the other hand, isn't really on LE's radar screen.
News stories are not plentiful and those you do find almost always
involve egregious use - tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of coupons at each store, schemes involving a dozen or more people,
overage refunds of hundreds of dollars per transaction. And the
punishments for these cases can be as paltry as a dozen or so hours of
community service and the DA drops the charges after a year.
Wrist-slaps.
You basically have to be unbelievably greedy,
careless and just plain stupid to get into trouble using coupons and the
'trouble' isn't really much to worry about. I'd have no concern about a
cop finding my folder of GL OC coupons, even if I had just
pillaged/shopped at a store.
Anyway, don't mean to belabor the subject, but I just wouldn't do it, not when there are safer exploits around.
-
Obviously, whether you're couponing & returning or boosting & returning or barcoding & returning,
***never return at the same store where you got the goods.***

Everytime I walk into a walys I get fucking sick these days.
Corporate America is disgusting. I like to walk around the isles
and think of all the mom and pop stores that can't exist because Walys
needs to sell fucking knitting supplies or whatever. It seems even
in the past 5 years their stores have been adding new sections. I
feel like in 25 years everyone will just work at a Walmart and get paid
in store credit. I mean I saw a fucking karate studio in a walys
today. I REALLY hope that is privately owned. Though even if
it is now I'm sure it won't be long til Karate Studios come standard at
all Walys courtesy of the waly family.

Hello, I have been around for a very long time but just recently
decided to update my forum account by spamming to 50 so I could
participate in your discussion. I absolutely love the coupons. They have
made my life much more simple. I have a quick question for you veterans
though. I've been reading this thread for about a week now and I
remember someone saying that they got 10 MCs at once at the WM SC. I
believe it was GL himself. Today, hypothetically I may have had a friend

Look,
I know I messed up. Seriously, I am scared to death that we will be
prosecuted. We will never do it again, believe me. I just came on here
to ask if you guys think that there is any way for it to come back on us
after the fact. The gift cards were unloaded in an untraceable way. I
just need to be able to sleep at night and not think that this Walmart
several miles away is going to try and identify and prosecute us. I am
just asking for multiple people's opinions. We messed up, we know and we
are sorry. I just need to know what the probability is that I will end
up in jail for it man. I don't do anything else illegal, but I have a
lot to lose like I'm sure most of us do.

Should I take as many as I'm comfortable with?
I'm not sure if
they'd consider it stealing since it has no worth but is still an item
you plan on leaving the store with without paying.
My Bestest!
-
I have had this happen by accident with small items, but it could
earn you some plausible deniability. Take your cards and put them in a
cart, down under the child seat and standing up so they blend with the
wire frame kind of. Then do a regular shopping trip. When you check out
neglect to put them on the conveyor or up to be scanned. If they get
noticed, say you decided not to get them.. If they go unnoticed, which
they should, push your cart out and toss them in your car...

Heyyyyy, smoove move T4B. I'll have to try it out later today on an OC run.
Thanks everyone here for being so helpful, and thank you Abbie for the great tale :)
Back
when I was younger and underage with a thirst, a friend of mine decided
to grab a 24 case of coke and empty out all the cokes. I didn't figure
out what he was doing until later when he grabbed a case of Coronas and
placed it neatly inside the case of Coke. He walked over to SC and 15m
later, we were enjoying some drinks at the pool. I wonder what the
employee thought when they found 24 cans of cokes randomly scattered in
the garden section...

Just downloaded a number of Coupons.com coupons to look at their layout. Noticed two major things;
1) Seems like they're trying to get rid of the UPC barcode because about 75% of the coupons I downloaded have only GS1 barcodes.
2)
There is a PDF417 barcode in the top right-hand corner of the coupon. I
scanned this barcode and each coupon came up with a weird sequence of
letters. 19 characters, combination of upper and lower case (I'm sure
it's encrypted). I'm not sure if this is unique to the coupon itself or
if it's different for each computer printed.
Below the PDF417 is a
string of numbers, 4 sets of 4. On all of the coupons it says:
"RETAILER: Authenticate at www.veri-fi.com. Do not accept without a
dot-scan barcode below the expiration date."
I checked out this
veri-fi.com... It's a company run by coupons.com called the Coupon
Resource Center. On the right side of the page is an option to "veri-fi"
a coupon. You take the string of numbers below the PDF417 and it will
verify the coupon (item, price, expiration date, etc.).
I've seen the same kind of verification on other coupons from different sites.
I
started thinking and wondering if it would be possible to set up such a
verification site for the counterfeit coupons. It would really only be
needed for the higher priced coupons.
The biggest problems I can see
is traceability due to the need to register a domain name, and the
stores catching on that the site is real. I wonder how long it'd take
for the retailer to realize not to trust that site.
Just a
thought because I know there was talk of a 1-800 verify number in the
past, thought I'd throw this idea into the pot as well.

I
just grab a handful and walk around. I casually slip them in my

my story was going to be some BS about shooting a video for school and
wanting the character to look like they had stacks of credit and explain
that I know they have no value until activated so I didn't think anyone
would mind, blah blah blah. Not sure the details as I was just
going to play it by ear, but nobody has seemed to notice/care so far and
I've done it about a half dozen times for those Neighborhood Markets
that always have SC, yet often don't have MC in stock. =o)

@Jacob: The new collection (with a working title of OC2 at the
moment) will not use UPCs at all, just like the new coupons.com ones and
most of the new ones in the paper, etc... you are right, they have left
UPC which is great news for us, UPC is too limited and GS1 gives us
less issues and more flexibility.
I have wanted to make a fake
veri-fi website, blah blah blah... you can imagine where my brain takes
it... I have discussed it several times, and think it would be easy to
do just an exact rip of veri-fi.com but use something like
couponverification.info or whatever legit URL I could get and set it up
to whwere my coupons would have codes that matched the product and
coupon and showed it as authentic. It would work 100% like their site
but I could control the database where it links and shows "Yes this $200
off a playstation 3 is valid!" We could go on and on about how awesome
it would be, the security challenges, etc... I'm not a web design pro so
we just haven't seen it come out of me yet.
The new OC2 we are
implementing some new templates, and looks.... sticking to the basics,
but with new styles, no UPC, fresh material.. etc. I would type more but
I'm literally doing the new work now so I'm keeping it brief.

What are the benefits of taking blanks GCs and activating them at other stores ?
-
Some stores you cant find the cards you are looking for... they are
out of stock or whatever... by stealing blanks, you could then walk in
with the blanks to any store and activate them. It would fix an issue if
you had a Walmart with no stock of giftcards... which does happen. I've
had to leave because they simply didn't have them.

Is the Glade candle coupon an OC item or a Lottery item? I don't
remember and I haven't seen it in the updates, much to my wife's
chagrin.
-
If you have any requests for the upcoming OC2, now would be the
time, and soon the latest time to submit them to me. I am really happy
with this new collection. It will allow us to do some really advanced
things. It is in no way meant for first time beginners and wont be
available to them until they experience OC1. OC1 was foolproof, while
OC2 is for those of us who know how things work and allows us to take
some serious advantages which would not be suitable for inexperienced
users.
You'll see soon...
Lotus
UPDATE: As far as
my timeline... my ultimate goal is to have a full collection done by
this Sunday or possibly Monday, but as we all know, shit happens and
deadlines are often needed extensions. If I make the release next
weekend, it will be very solid, but also it will be receiving some free
additions shortly after to show some love. I feel this will be one that
is highly in demand for those of you who love the OC. It's not one of
those FREE Giftcard, etc listings, and no knock on them as many of you
know the power there, but this one is geared for experienced OC users
who always wanted different options, very new and I think innovative
content, and even some resurrected and improved coupons from the now
retired collections of the good old days, which I'm sure those of you
who had those will be very excited for.

@Jacob:
The new collection (with a working title of OC2 at the moment) will not
use UPCs at all, just like the new coupons.com ones and most of the new
ones in the paper, etc... you are right, they have left UPC which is
great news for us, UPC is too limited and GS1 gives us less issues and
more flexibility.
The
transition was supposed to happen some number of years back was it not?
I'm glad the switch is finally being made, and it is really good news
for us.
In regards to the coupons I (and many others) make for the
lotto, should we start transitioning some to GS1 only, or should we wait
a while?
I
have wanted to make a fake veri-fi website, blah blah blah... you can
imagine where my brain takes it... I have discussed it several times,
and think it would be easy to do just an exact rip of veri-fi.com but
use something like couponverification.info or whatever legit URL I could
get and set it up to whwere my coupons would have codes that matched
the product and coupon and showed it as authentic. It would work 100%
like their site but I could control the database where it links and
shows "Yes this $200 off a playstation 3 is valid!" We could go on and
on about how awesome it would be, the security challenges, etc... I'm
not a web design pro so we just haven't seen it come out of me yet.
A
site would be interesting to see and would benefit us in a huge way,
but it would be interesting to see how quickly retailers would catch on
that it is a site verifying counterfeits. I'm sure retailers would
listen to the CIC on this matter, and they would catch on probably the
second it's created. Would definitely be an interesting experiment.
The
new OC2 we are implementing some new templates, and looks.... sticking
to the basics, but with new styles, no UPC, fresh material.. etc. I
would type more but I'm literally doing the new work now so I'm keeping
it brief.
If
you have any requests for the upcoming OC2, now would be the time, and
soon the latest time to submit them to me. I am really happy with this
new collection. It will allow us to do some really advanced things. It
is in no way meant for first time beginners and wont be available to
them until they experience OC1. OC1 was foolproof, while OC2 is for
those of us who know how things work and allows us to take some serious
advantages which would not be suitable for inexperienced users.
You'll see soon...
Lotus
UPDATE:
As far as my timeline... my ultimate goal is to have a full collection
done by this Sunday or possibly Monday, but as we all know, shit happens
and deadlines are often needed extensions. If I make the release next
weekend, it will be very solid, but also it will be receiving some free
additions shortly after to show some love. I feel this will be one that
is highly in demand for those of you who love the OC. It's not one of

Shut up and take my money.

Hello, I have been around for a very long time but just recently
decided to update my forum account by spamming to 50 so I could
participate in your discussion. I absolutely love the coupons. They have
made my life much more simple. I have a quick question for you veterans
though. I've been reading this thread for about a week now and I
remember someone saying that they got 10 MCs at once at the WM SC. I
believe it was GL himself. Today, hypothetically I may have had a friend
with me and got ten of them, all separate transactions paid for with
cash and the friend got 10 as well. We do not plan on going back to this
WM again in the foreseeable future. We are a little bit alarmed though
about when they do collect the coupons and see that they are all the
same pin number (on the coupon) what kind of heat we could expect. We
realize we were a bit greedy doing $1,000 in one run, but we didn't
figure we would actually get arrested for it. My intent is not to spoil
this for anyone else. Normally I would just get one or two at a time in
various locations around a large metropolitan area. Do you think we will
be caught for what happened today and prosecuted? We already
anonymously unloaded all of the gift cards. Any feedback would be
appreciated. Thanks, and long live GL!
This is fuckin sweet!
Is
common sense really this lost on some people? Who cares if you
plan on going back to that WM again? How much heat do you think
you have created at that place now? Now what if some unsuspecting
fellow couponer decides NOT to be a greedy [explitive] and try to get
just one or two GCs from this same location, a location that they are
now watching heavily? Your girl may like 30 seconds of hard and
fast, but try to spread things out a little with the GC so that you
don't mess it up for everyone. wtf..
Look,
I know I messed up. Seriously, I am scared to death that we will be
prosecuted. We will never do it again, believe me. I just came on here
to ask if you guys think that there is any way for it to come back on us
after the fact. The gift cards were unloaded in an untraceable way. I
just need to be able to sleep at night and not think that this Walmart
several miles away is going to try and identify and prosecute us. I am
just asking for multiple people's opinions. We messed up, we know and we
are sorry. I just need to know what the probability is that I will end
up in jail for it man. I don't do anything else illegal, but I have a
lot to lose like I'm sure most of us do.
Regards,
minerals
20 runs, 1 coupon, 1 trip?
Maybe GL can hook you up with some commissary coupons for the county jail.....

request for OC2: wholly guac :)

Things have continued to work flawlessly with the OC. I have
given away a diaper or similac coupon on just about every visit.
It’s a nice feeling and I don’t think I have to worry about being ‘that
diaper coupon guy’ since I won’t be back to the same store for at least
three weeks (lotta options!). I can see that I need to figure out a
system to get the most out of my visits.
I think I am
going to finally give a $25 GC a try at either a Lws or Stpls. For
some reason these two stores feel more ‘low key’ for this type of
purchase. What have you guys experienced? Do I have this
wrong and these are actually the two stores a first-timer should never,
ever try?
As for OC2, my bitcoin is ready and waiting.
Requests for OC2:
Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt/Aaron Brands Epsom Salt
Salanpas Pain Relieving Patches
(Special Note: coupons for the above two items will save my family approximately $2,390,865,739,475/year….seriously.)
Mitchum Deodorant
Vaseline Lotion
Aquaphor (by Eucerin)
Hall’s Cough Drops
Zola Coconut Water
Lever liquid soap/bathwash
Starbuck’s Whole Bean Coffee
Cerave Moisturizing Cream/Cleanser
Spectrum Naturals Coconut Oil
Blue Diamond Almond Milk
Phillips Colon Health Probiotic Capsules (wgrns)
-
OC2 request:
- Hot Pockets, a buck off. I requested this over in the lottery thread but my wish did not come true.
Suggestions:
- Kellogg's Fruit Flavored Snacks (gummies)
- Stove Top Stuffing
- CountryTime or KoolAid drink mix
- Tostitos chips
Cant think of much else as my whole pantry is pretty much full w OC1 items. Looking forward to OC2 though.

Day 3 of reading all of these forum posts.
Water supplies running low.
Bought
the OC at page 75 because i knew that it would be worth it. Finally
finished all 174 pages of this post after hours of reading. Going on my
first run at Shit-Mart with just a few coups to get the feel for it.
Will hopefully buy the HC or NFF in the upcoming weeks. Thanks GL!!! I'm
glad to become part of this awesome community!
-
this OC version 2.0 has got my big fat green ogre cock all hard and shit.......In a good way, :)
Work that shit LOTUS you're the man! TFB I didn't forget about you brother!
I karma banged everyone btw,NOT with my erection.....with my mouse finger(that doesn't sound much better huh?)
PEACE GUYS!
-
No discouragement here! Still going strong and hungry. :)
As
for boosting blanks which I planned on doing from WMs where they don't
work(good stock there),any advice how to successfully do this? Well of
course just take them and walk about. Any clever ways to go about it?
Should I take as many as I'm comfortable with?
I'm not sure if
they'd consider it stealing since it has no worth but is still an item
you plan on leaving the store with without paying.
My Bestest!
I
just grab a handful and walk around. I casually slip them in my
pocket while "browsing". If I were to get stopped on the way out,
my story was going to be some BS about shooting a video for school and
wanting the character to look like they had stacks of credit and explain
that I know they have no value until activated so I didn't think anyone
would mind, blah blah blah. Not sure the details as I was just
going to play it by ear, but nobody has seemed to notice/care so far and
I've done it about a half dozen times for those Neighborhood Markets
that always have SC, yet often don't have MC in stock. =o)
If
you take note of the width of the GC while in it's cardboard package,
it is very similar to the width of a 12-pack of soda, specifically that
little slit they call a handle. Another cool thing are the existence of
those little blue hand-carts by the entrance. Not only do they hold
shit, but they have these neat little walls around them. ;)
-
Went on a re-con run to Lws and HD. Gotta jump in feet first with
the GC's have been holding off.... Realized that the HD we went to
didnt carrier any but their own not sure if thats all around. LWS
on the other hand had all but M/C and Visa - so here is my question -
maybe someone can help seems like most of the non-MC / VS cards ( store
GC's ) pretty much all have the same Bar Code. Would any of the
coupons work for any of the GC's being that the first numbers are the
same? Are the GC's automatically activated once scanned? Do I
need to scan the large bar code? I am sure this has been
discussed time and time again but I sure am hoping to get the cliff
notes.... :)

- CountryTime or KoolAid drink mix
Kool-Aid (and many others) coming in my next submission to the lottery.
Lotus, take the others. :P

Most
of the gift cards are sold through a company called InComm and their
MFID is 99366, so that is why they are all the same. Since Lotus uses
the family code 000 on most (if not all) of his coupons, they will work
for any item that has the same MFID. The problem you run into is when
you give it to a cashier they will see that the coupon is for an iTunes
GC when you're buying a Home Depot GC and won't accept the coupon. The
computer would take it, but the cashier knows better.
I assume
you're referring to the "large barcode" on the card itself? I've only
seen GCs with one barcode. Either a UPC or a long barcode at the bottom
with a long string of numbers (somewhere inside is the MFID). Either
should work.
If you're referring to the two barcodes on the coupon (I
think most GC coupons have only GS1) then either will do unless the
savings amount is over $10, in which case you should use the GS1 (long
barcode on right) since anything >$10 can't be encoded on the UPC and
is set to have the cashier manually enter the amount off.
And
yes the GCs should be activated as soon as the transaction has been
completed. At WM the activation confirmation is at the top of the
receipt it has the GC amount and the GC serial (I guess it's a serial
#). I'm not sure how other stores do this as I've only gotten GCs at WM.
Have yet to try out any other stores.
Hope I answered your questions, VISA.

So I bought only 5 things at Wallys toady for a total of $18. But
with using 3 coupons I only paid $5. Woooooooo!! Now I definitely see
why you make people use the OC first, its definitely a rush when using
the coupons and it will take some getting used too.
Is there a coupon that I can use to buy cream cheese in the OC? That shits pretty expensive (and tasty).
thanks guys

I've
had success in the past buying MC GC through self checkout as well as
other GCs( Chilis, Darden, AMC, etc..) So, since the GCs are sold mostly
under one MFID, wouldn't any of the GC coupons work on any of the
GCs that fall under InComm? I wonder how the NFF selfcheckout $49.99
coupon would come into play...or if it would even work at all on any
other GCs besides the MC, VISA, or AMEX........Any thoughts on this?
Still
going strong, and the MC GC is my GO TO card now. Always a breeze
getting those basically for free now. ANDD I successfully boosted some
blanks from a store that had an overstock by placing them under the flap
in the child seat in the cart before shopping. No more scavenging the
store for the last MC!! :)
Good luck everyone with your shopping!

How excited is everyone for the new collection? It has been quite a

forward to trying new products for sure.

OC2 spoiler for the day:
While purchase of the OC is required
to purchase any other collection for many reasons, I have never held
that to any kind of limit on how long between purchase. When someone
wants to buy the OC plus other packages at once, I simply write out a
strong advising on proper use and the importance of using the OC to gain
knowledge, experience, and confidence first.
This will not be
the case with the OC2. I will enforce a 7 day waiting period before the
new collection can be purchased after purchasing the OC. This is out of
concern for the buyer's best interest and the communities best interest,
among other reasons... like my time answering messages from people
saying "I didn't listen to you, and this is what happened... what advice
do you have now?" Those really get under my skin, because how do I tell
someone what I suggest when they already aren't listening to my
suggestions?
While one of the themes of SR is to give adults the
freedom to choose what they can do, I'm one of the very few vendors who
feels it necessary to place responsible limits on what can be done. I'm
not trying to dictate, I'm trying to protect.
Can you imagine a
vendor on SR who required you to purchase at least 10 5mg Vicodin before
you could graduate to buying his 30mg Roxie because he gives a fuck
about your safety? No, but then again drugs are something that people
should already have that knowledge, experience, and confidence in before
making any purchase, so drug dealers don't need to worry about that.
They simply sell and let the buyer be responsible. In this sense, I'm in
a very different and unique situation and I could write a 5 page paper
on all the reasons I take this stance, but I'll spare you that read and
devote that time to a better FAQ for beginners, and if it were ever time
feasible, I'd love to do some advanced articles from time to time on my
personal experience and all of what I have learned from everyone
involved in the community through over 1,000 pages of reviews and
countless private conversations. And present it all in a nice organized
manner.
More to come... just felt like dropping some thoughts for the day,
Lotus

I have yet to try to use multiples of the same coupon in one
shopping trip, ie buy 2 Morning Star products with two Morning Star
Coupons. I really want to do this as its a bitch to use only one
and hit three stores because of it.
Do you guys put the same coupons together in your stack or split them up?
Thanks!
-
We shuffle the coupons up. Up to 4 of the same items at a time with
no issues.. While driving around hitting different locations; i use "the
magic insulated bag" KEEPS FOOD HOT OR COLD, FROZEN up to 3 hours. I
don't play around with my HORIZON milk.. 8)

What's up, everyone? First and foremost, I want to say that I love
this community, and thanks to GL and TFB for helping to provide for my
family. I want to share my recent experience couponing:
I've been
couponing with you guys for several months. Whenever I go to WM, I only
get a few items. Every month or so I'll clip coupoons for a large run
to the Bullseye. I shop a few different Bullseye locations, making sure
to spread out my trips between locations, and I usually get between $250
and $350 in goods.
On my last visit to the Bullseye, I was
chatting it up with my cashier as he happily scanned my coupons. I had a
fucking stack, like I always do. The cashier supervisor came over and
stood next to the register, said something fairly quietly to the
cashier, while looking at some sort of handheld barcode scanner/computer
thing, and bouncing his head between looking at the register screen and
his little computer. Then, their assets protection team member came
about ten feet away and watched what we were doing. The assets
protection then proceeded to post up by the door and mean mug me until I
left. Everything scanned, but the cashier was an idiot. Everytime the
register prompted for verification of an item, he'd pause and be like
did you get xxxxx item? I don't remember seeing it. YES LOOK IN THE CART
THERE IT IS BLAH BLAH BLAH. Also there was conflict because whenever it
would ask to select the specific item for a coupon, he'd F1 or whatever
his way through it and have it pick whatever was first item
highlighted, instead of picking the specific item. Then later on it
would come up again, and he'd be like uhhhh I don't see that item on
here, and I had to explain (with the supervisor there hounding the
entire transaction) that he had already accepted it on a different item.
Everything rang up, I paid and was on my way, but this was the
sketchiest experience I've ever had at a Bullseye. I was trying not to
sound too experienced on the inner workings of their POS with the
cashier supervisor standing right there, but I kinda had no choice. I
kept my cool as always, but on the inside I was a bit spooked. I know
that they can't do anything to me, but I would hate to have my face
posted on a wall in the AP offices of the local Bullseye locations.
What
do you guys think about this? By no means am I a rookie with these
coupons, I seriously felt that the cashier supervisor wasn't comfortable
with my transaction.
On another note, the GS1 for the Ziploc bags pulls up a big red screen saying the coup is not valid. The UPC works fine.
Also,
does anyone have a 100% tried and true method for using the GC coupons
at an SC at WM with the updated POS where it asks you to set the coupons
to the side?
Thanks to everyone for being such a great community.
-
Every now and then the Bulleyes will actually block something in
their system. Sounds probably they might have done it on the ziplock
coupon. It will still work at other stores, and we can make edits that
then make it work at Target again. It's rare but it's likely what you
are experiencing. We keep up with those and it's no trouble really for
us to change it back into a working coupon and it's so rare to see those
blocks at Bulleye that it probably would never happen again.
Now
I have had all kinds of different and interesting experiences. I'm glad
to hear the large majority of your experience has been great, and that
even this time you walked out on 100% success. It's funny, I've had to
"train" cashiers too.
What do I think about it? It happens to the
best of us... it's all part of the game we play. Never in my 3+ years
have I had my entire OC order denied, just a coupon here or there where I
then say I no longer want the item like any prudent couponer would. The
fact that you walked out with all your goods, means it was a success
and I'm willing to bet that the uncomfortableness you felt in that
moment was well worth the savings you made in that stop alone, much less
the rest of your haul for the day.
I have had 100% success with
my gift cards at self checkout. With the exception that 1:10 Walmart's
have this different system where you can't just scan the coupon after
the item. You have to hit "Finish and pay" and then select coupon. I
found this one time experience was completely different software than
the other Walmart's I went to. I managed to actually travel and hit 10
different Walmart's before releasing those coupons. I wanted to know
exactly how it performed at different locations. Other's who have shared
my 1:10 experience have confirmed to me when going to more Walmart's,
they find it's just bad luck if you find one of those that the coupon
does not work at. I simply slip the coupon in my pocket, call the
attendant and cancel the order.

+1 tr0gd0r, for sticking to your story and keeping calm w/ difficult
grocery goofs. Try, try, again, but you probably want to give that
location a month or two to cool down. It may be that a different time of
day with a different group of employees would be a lot easier.
Especially w/o the douche manager and the cashier who requires frequent
cattle prod jolts. Better luck next time.
And not to criticize,
but passing over $200 worth of coupons at a time may be more likely to
draw attention. I've done over $100 a few times at bullseye and was kind
of surprised that I got through check-out so easily.
Bullseyes
are about 9/10 all smiles and good vibes, but the ones w/ reserved
parking for cops and in the poor parts of town are bound to be more
suspicious of everyone. I think that, at least, when I've attracted AP
attention it isn't really the coupons, so much as spending more than 10
minutes in the store. Some AP goons are so dense, that they'll shadow
and borderline harass people that don't fit their average shopper
profile (female) or who shop for more than one item at a time.
I
still think I encountered more shit from AP thugs, when I was doing
completely legitimate shopping and paying with my own money. Since
converting to the GoldenLotus couponing paradigm this year, I've found
that I'm largely invisible to AP thugs, especially if I use only
$50-$100 worth of coupons, don't shop for much more than 15 minutes and
stay away from the electronics section.
If you're looking for new stores, yelp.com has some helpful reviews, especially about the nightmare places you want to avoid.
And
I definitely wouldn't sweat that one bad experience. Just stay away
from that store and maybe see if some Krogs or regional stores can stock
some of your pantry. I've been pleased with how easily I've been able
to pass $50 worth of coupons at a time at a Pubx AND how much I can save
by exploiting their BOGOF sales.

Ok so first time wasn't a charm :( went to Lowes to try
out a 25GC for Kohls - matched up numbers etc. went up to SC with
that and something we needed for the house anyway. Figured it
would be simple in simple out. Wrong!!!! GC didn't
scan! So CS rep says ohhhh I know you can't ring that up
here at the SC out...... Ill finish you up front. Now in all
honesty she was a nice older Spanish Lady who I was not intimidated by
at all. So I followed her up to the front and figured fuck
it..... gave her the CP for the 20 off. She scanned it - however
she wasn't very determined and finally said I dont think I can
take this but maybe you can go to Kohl's and do it....... sure I
am on my wayyyyy....lol - told her no problem but I was picking it up
for a friend and didn't really need it. So walked out with
just my household item..... NP - but dammmnnnn itttt. Not sure if
it was her store, my area or what but she basically said those SC didnt
scan GC!!!!!
UGGGGGGG guess its WM or bust....... for GC's
so
can someone settle a pretty heated argument that my girl and I have
been having for several months now?????? I say if we are
going to drive more then 10 mins to a store we should make it worth our
while and bang them for at least 100.00 per store!!!! Now she says I am
being unreasonable and believes that travel is part of the work
necessary to spread out the risk and be successful just at a much slower
pace. So the question is how far do you or would you typically
travel??????
Well after the GC experience this morning
went back to our old faithful the OC and the Big Red BullsEye!!! Walked
with 182.00 of items.... milk, soap, cereal, soda, KCups, Olive Oil,
Regular Coffee, V8 for about $30.00. :) :) :)

So whats in the OC2? Will I need to purchase that if i already have the OC?

If
you are talking about OC, I see no problem hitting them for over
$100. GC on the other hand, I would say hit for exactly $100, no
more. MC is perfect for this. I can do two transactions at SC and
it takes less than 2 minutes from the time I walk up to the SC to the
time I walk away from the SC. And I smile all the way to the
car. Of course, you only want to do this at the same WM once or
twice a month, so I spread the love around different stores.
On
that note, I did have a bit of a disappointing experience today. I
was at a WM that I had previous success with the MC the one time I went
last month. I was at SC and I scanned the GC, then I scanned the
coupon, it asked me to insert the coupon and I did, then I clicked
finish and pay. Before I could pay though, it came on the screen
and verbally announced "Approval needed." The SC clerk came over
from helping someone else and signed in. He saw the amount of the
coupon and says, "the coupon is for how much?" I say $49.99. He
tells me to hold on and he goes and gets a nearby manager. They
come over, look at the screen, and go get another manager. I hear
the first clerk saying that they need approval now for anything over
$5. What?!? I don't say that of course, just think it.
So manager #2 comes over, looks at the screen, gets the key for the
coupon collector and pulls the coupon out. She tells me to hold on
and goes over to customer service. After a few minutes she comes
back by and says "do you just have one of these coupons"? Now the
first clerk had already seen that I had 2, so I told her I had 2.
She then went in the back for about 5 minutes. She finally comes
back out and asks to see the other coupon. I give it to her and
she said "So you filled out a survey and they sent you a link to print
these out?" I said yes, that was right. She asked why the
pins were the same on both coupons. I told her that I did not
know, that I just do what the site says. She said that she could
not take them. I asked why not. She said because they have a
way of checking them in the back and they are not in their
system. I said they were not WM coupons, they were manufacture
coupons and so they would not be in their system. She said that
she realized they were manufacture coupons and then said that if it
scanned fine that she could take one of the coupons, but not both.
I said, ok fine. She rang up the GC, rang up the coupon (and of
course it scanned haha). She had a surprised look on her face and
said, "$3.95". I swiped my MC GC, put it back in my pocket, and
saw it said "waiting for cashier" so I said "it's going to be
credit". She pushes the button on her end, hands me my receipt,
and I walk out with the GC and my unused coupon.
So, this WM has
been crossed off my list of stores to use for GC. Sucks that they
have a $5 limit at that store now. I hope that this does not
spread to all the WM stores. ::fingers crossed:: But, I went
to all the other WMs in the area that have SC and everything worked
flawlessly at the rest of the stores, just this one store so far that is
doing this.

Abagnale69. Awesome report. Stick to your story and be prepared to wait
a few minutes...and let the coupon - and your calm demeanor and
upstanding appearance - do the work.
And don't be intimidated by one store. Your performance was flawless.
I've
been having great results at nearly all of the new, out-of-the-way
Wallies that I've tried and none have changed their POS. But, I'm
limiting my exploitation to one or two cards per store and only going to
each once or twice a month.
And, VISAHATE, I love to drive
(picture John Goodman's escaped convict character in "Raising Arizona"),
and I'll cover at least a couple hundred and as much as 500 miles in a
day's exploitation. I have a super-reliable vehicle and a seemingly
inexhaustible supply of gas cards. :] (Oh, and my limited understanding
of promoting happiness in a relationship is to always let the lady have
her way.)
And I'm thinking maybe Los registers don't scan the GS1
databar? Try a GC w/ a UPC, if there are some. Or maybe a cashier at
another Los will use a scanner gun or other scanner that works.
+1 for trying
-
First off, thanks for the detailed report/review. The unique part of
Abagnale69's story is that it previously had worked at that Walmart. I
have seen about 1 in 10 Walmart's have older systems where they simply
won't work, but I have never heard of an experience like this where it
did work fine and then suddenly it did not in regards to GCs at
Walmart's S.C.
However, many of us have experienced this exact
thing at random Walmart's with some OC coupons. It turns out there was
some sort of deal they changed the system and not even to target us, but
in the process messed up coupons in general so not only were we getting
dicked over, but so were a lot of people who were cutting coupons out
the newspaper and such. The thing about that is I have personal
experienced and heard from many others that this occurrence was fixed
and everything went back to normal relatively quickly. I imagine we all
dodged those certain Walmart's for awhile, but eventually discovered
they returned back to normal. This is just a hypothesis on what might
have occurred or something similar. Of course, worst case scenario would
be that Walmart starts adopting this as a policy and our MasterCard
gravy train gets slowed down and sent back into the lines for live
cashiers.
Let's be honest, we all understand that the day will
come when Walmart does something to prevent the $49.99 coupon from
working in self checkout with no approval needed. Anyone on the fence
about purchasing the Not Free collection needs to just pull the trigger
while it is still ripe for the pickings.

I would like to request some Plan B and abortion coupons please.
-
So whats in the OC2? Will I need to purchase that if i already have the OC?
Yes, everyone will need to purchase the OC2 separately, unless of course you have a coupon for a free OC2.
OC2 is really just my working title, I likely won't stick with it when it's live so I don't confuse too many people.
Don't
be too concerned about having to purchase the OC2. You know how much
money the OC saved you, and this new OC2 is being designed to enhance
those savings and increase them for advanced users who know exactly what
works where and how to use them. There will be no one disappointed in
this purchase, I can promise you that. Also for me to be able to
maintain my ability to constantly improve upon the products and maintain
the level of customer service I provide for a constantly growing group
of people, I deserve to be compensated for what literally is a full time
job for me.
Also, BruceCampbell... There already is a Plan B coupon in the OC2. I finished it already my brother... Seriously.
And
I also mentioned a $23 off coupon for Pampers coupon where I was able
to go through Walmart selfcheckout and buy 200 diapers for $4 in cash.
So that's pretty much all of the spoilers so far... more to come.

By duplicating their point of sale system, scanning an in-active gift

Exactly!
Buy them now! Use them sparingly to slow down the inevitable, but
they will not last forever. These things are a goldmine and
anybody wondering if they should do it or not, do it! Even if you
only get 4 GCs (which you can do in a matter of hours), you have already
more than doubled your investment!
And to clarify, these are
still scanning fine. It's just that this particular WM has changed
the discount level before needing approval from an associate from $50
to $5. But there are over 10 other WMs around this one where the
limit is still $50 and these work flawlessly without any interaction
from a live person!

I
believe the problem here is that it is not just simply some code that
activates the card. The WM SCs are, I'm sure, networked into the
rest of the WM system and the cards must be activated online in the card
issuer's database. Nothing actually changes on the card that gets
scanned. The information from that card is transmitted to the
server to let it know that it has been paid for and to go ahead and
activate it. This is just a very simplified explanation as I do
not know all the particulars.
And virtual +1's all around.
Edit: Apparently T4B had already said this and was able to in fewer words. =o)

So I've had some peculiar experiences at WM and thought I should share.
S.O.
and I went to WM the other day to pick up a few non coupon items as
well as coupon items. Usually when we go to WM we both pick up items and
pay separately so we can pick up more than just one of a certain item
as well as avoiding issues with their $50 limit. So on this particular
trip, the store had SC which S.O. used and I paid with a live cashier.
All of my items scanned fine and I was on my way. S.O. gets back to the
car and two of the coupons wouldn't take at SC- the same exact ones I
used with the live cashier without a problem. Same thing happened today
at a different WM. Only issue happened on the SC.
I do
understand that sometimes some coupons don't work at some stores, just
the luck of the draw. Just have to keep it moving and try at a different
store. I'm just curious if anyone else has encountered this issue.
-
ForTehLulz, did you notice if the cashier was scanning just one of
the barcodes, by covering up the other? Did the cashier use the handheld
scanner?
Would they just not scan at all on the SC? Maybe a flaky scanner on the SC?
This is where it would be great to have an insider chiming in.
+1 for an interesting experiment, ForTehLulz.

Thanks for the tips guys, and a special thanks to jacob for leading

I had a strange thing happen at a bullseye recently. The Gatorade
coupon wouldn't scan after 4 or 5 passes so the cashier put it aside and
keeps going. When the supervisor walks nearby he calls her over just as
she's walking over he tries scanning it again and it goes through so he
says "never mind" but she's already there and intrigued by my stack of
coupons. She starts going through the ones that have already scanned she
stops at the Tropicana coupon and looks at me and says "You got this
from the website right? I can't take this one, this one has been copied.
This website scanned this coupon from a magazine and uploaded to share
with it's users and that's illegal." I didn't argue because it was only
one of two that didn't work- I don't remember which other one at
the moment- and of course I saved around $100. Just thought her comments
were strange.

Several
really nice printer options in this "OC2". Even though a printer would
not be considered OC, this collection will have several high dollar
coupons with important stuff in there. Then we can focus on a fully
Christmas/present themed pack starting very soon to give everyone the
chance to go wild for Black Friday.

In
the new template used for the OC2, there are more watermarks than ever
before. Managers say all kinds of shit like that when it's really just
them being d-holes. Pro tip: If you ever have an issue with a coupon,
simply hand the item back and tell them to cancel it. Some people think
this is suspicious to do, but think about what a person who uses real
coupons and takes it seriously enough to get our kind of savings
(impossible, but you know what I am saying), if one of their coupons
don't work, I bet they cancel the item everytime. By giving the items
back on anything the coupon might not work on, I think that is a more
realistic behavior.
@Lulz: Through my testing, around 1 out of 10
Walmarts will give this issue. Yep it works great with a live cashier,
but the POS system is just old it appears in a small number of Walmarts
and it simply won't work. The one time this ever happened to me (I
tested 10+ Walmart's on a trip before releasing this coupon officially
and let some other trusted beta testers test it so I could get a good
idea of how it worked for nme at different stores and also stores across
the country) I simply pocketed the coupon, called the attendant and
canceled the order.
Is there anything that makes the 49.99 off mc giftcard coupons different from coupons in, for example, the oc?
Well
there are a few differences. OC coupons don't go over $10 by design.
They are designed to make it almost seamless for the user so that they
can become familiar and comfortable and don't go mistakenly make a fool
out of themselves. Also, most OC coupons have a UPC and GS1 databar,
while most of the newer, harder coupons have GS1 only because it leads
to a smoother transaction in cases over $10. Probably several other
differences, but I need to get back to my other responsibilities for
now.

Hi everybody! Has anyone been using the $50.00/$25.00 GCs on
anything but gas? I am hesitant to walk into a store and use a GC
to pay for something or to make an online purchase. I noticed that
there are anonymous debit cards for sale
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/fc61daac42/10
Is there any way that money from a giftcard can be transferred to one of these and be used to buy bitcoins?
-
@ caib - i wouldn't be to worried about using it else where, if your
using it for gas, then more than just one piece of identifying
information is on camera ( face and license plate) i don't think "the
man" is going to go through that much effort when these are rampant all
across the country, hope this helps
-c21
**edit
make sure
your read the forums about plausible deniability, there is no reason to
act any different than normal after you already purchased your gift card
-
Hey guys, been awhile.
As always, the coupons are working great. (I'm actually cutting some right now to make a big Saturday run 8) )
A
separate issue I'm having is getting Bitcoins... Since bitinstant went
down months ago, I've tried a few other places, but don't like
them/don't trust the "security." What do you guys use to get bitcoin?
Any good ways without having to give bank account information? That was
the best thing about bitinstant is you could use moneygrams and keep it
completely anonymous.
Thanks.
-
https://localbitcoins.com/
Look for 100% rep and >100 transactions. Plenty of sellers use MoneyGram.
I
would be leary, caib, of getting any type of card from a seller other
than a legit retailer. Unless you can reset your PIN AND any online
account management password, you'd always have to be wary of the seller
cleaning out your account.

regarding plausible deniability--I'm just a bit hypervigilant. On a
side note, I remember a story on my local news where a person purchased
a video game using a fake gift card at Gamestop--the police wanted to
talk to this person. The news showed video footage of the
person. I will spread my risk out by not using the cards in the
same area in which I reside. I purchase the GCs in a different
region of the state, too.

I have
used coinmama in the past, but if I recall they no longer accept
moneygram. They also charge quite a bit extra to purchase a
bitcoin. Then there is the commission fee that you have to pay to
Western Union or Moneygram. I've heard good reviews of VirWox and
LocalBitcoins.com.
Went to a Wally today, where I had
previously purchased a $50.00 GC using the SC--they now require approval
before purchasing at $50.00 GC. However, they did not require
approval for the $25.00 GCs. Exploit the $50.00 GCs while you can.
@AbbieHoffman
Yes, I probably will not try buying a anonymous debit card--looks sketchy.
-
thanks for the heads up caib, sounds like the man was quite
determined to get that guy, do you know any more details about the card
that guy was using or what got him caught? i think you just made my
operation a little more secure with that help
-
@cortex021
Sorry, I don't remember the details. I don't
know if the guy was using a card that he figured out to load himself
(with nonexistent money) or if he used forged coupons to purchase a
Gamestop gift card. The story definitely stuck in my mind
though. I hope the guy didn't get caught, but the very fact that
he used the Gamestop card landed footage of him purchasing a game, using
a Gamestop giftcard obtained by questionable means, on the 5 o'clock
news asking people to contact police if they knew this person.
-
Do you hear that? It's the Silence of the Lotus. Hard at
work.. oh and it's Saturday night so maybe a little play too.
But, don't worry it will be worth the wait. I'm sure OC2 is going
to be amazing! Also, I wasn't here last holiday season, but I
cannot wait for this one! ;D

Great! So this means that i can buy bit coins using VirWox and dump at silkroad?

You can, but indirectly. You can purchase SLL (Second Life Lindens) on VirWox and then trade SLL for bitcoins.
BTW,
Lotus, could you give us an idea on price for the OC2 when you have the
chance? That way we can all make sure to have our SR banks at the
necessary levels. ;D
-
I have soooooooooo many questions. Is the OC going to be replaced by
the OC2? Meaning should I hold off as a new buyer until the OC2 comes
out?
What about using a MVP or a store card, is it advisable to
create one using fake info? What is a good way to find out everything I
need to know before jumping into this as it seems like a large and
ominous undertaking and I am not taking it lightly

trying to pass forged coupons would not look good on my resume lol. Any

From
what GL has written, I think that the Original Collection is still
going to stand on its own as a collection of hundreds of useful coupons
that will save you 50-100% on your grocery bill. And the Original
Collection is still the natural, logical, organic way to ease into
'extreme couponing' of the GL variety.
Really, you're costing
yourself money by not buying the OC now and gaining the experience from
using it. I kick myself for not getting out and using GL coupons as much
as possible, especially on weekends. Really, you will want to pay GL
and T4B repeatedly for all of the money they will be saving you.
And
LP/AP is NOT looking for this type of coupon abuse and you have next to
no chance of getting questioned by the police, let alone arrested.
Seriously, do a search for 'coupon fraud' and read the unbelievable
stories of the clueless few who have any real legal problems. They are
always incredibly greedy (>$500 fraud per transaction), have large
numbers of co-conspirators (who they do not communicate with only
anonymously via TOR), involve an insider co-conspirator, use crude
photocopied fakes and yet the scams still go on for months at a very few
number of stores before anyone notices.
I'm going to shut up, because I'm afraid I sound like a high-pressure sales pitch, and the coupons really sell themselves.
tl;dr Just BUY THE OC NOW, TRY USING IT AND YOU'LL SEE.
-
Def leaning towards it, pragmatically it sounds very
lucrative. I just want to see what GL says about the OC vs OC2 and which
one a noob should get.

GL
has already stated that you must purchase the OC first. He
further stated that you will not be able to purchase the OC2 until at
least 7 days after you purchase the OC. So the sooner you purchase
OC and start using it, the sooner you will be able to purchase the
OC2. ;)

What
you heard is true, OC not only stays, it is a condition for OC2. a good
source of info? this thread is as good as it gets. but the basic advice
is start off slow, gain confidence and DO NOT walk into WM with a
friend and walk out with 10 GC.. that's just idiotic. From what it looks
like you shuold be fine as long as you have common sense
-
howdy!
just wanted to say thanks again to goldenlotus and
crew for the incredible coupons, I have all packs and suggest everyone
else to do the same!!
Secondly, I'm not sure if this is the
correct place to ask this question but hopefully it is.. what is the
best/easiest way to resize these badboys.. what format/method do you
guys usually use? (I'm lazy! lol)
Another question I'd like to
ask.. other than contributing to this awesome thread you guys got
go'in.. is there any other way I can contribute to the community? I
guess not until I actually buy the coupon making lessons which I plan to
do very soon.. just wondering if there was anything else I could do?
Lastly!
(you knew it was comin.. haha) Is there any possible way any of you
generous souls would feel compelled to make me 2 coupons? I think we
could def use a snapple tea coupon.. my family loves the diet peach
snapple that comes in glass bottles.. I think they come in different
sizes. And secondly.. how bout a coupon for a SLINGBOX.. this second one
may or may not work? again if this is the wrong place I apologize..
THanks brahs! golden lotus.. you know you're the man.. riiight? haha
-
You can resize the coupons by copying and pasting them onto a .doc
or .docx file. Change the settings to black and white--if you
don't want to waste colored ink. I have read that some people have
used GIMP--which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. But,
if you have windows copying and pasting into a Microsoft Word file is a
straightforward approach--you can fit three coupons per page usually.
-
I print mine off open office. You can resize, duplicate and anything else you need to do on them in this program.
Banged everyone on this page with +1.
Ive been MIA for a while but Im excited to get back into the groove.

Shoot! I missed out on the karma points!

Banged everyone with good +KARMA from 2640 to 2663. ;)

thanks for the responses guys I'm tryin to figure out how to give
karma out but I've been unsuccessful so far haha.. how do you do that?
Today
I got about 60 dollars worth of groceries for about 20 bucks. Also got
one credit card to scan the other one did not for some reason and the
lady came over and helped me.. should have only done one at atime lol..
anyway she just said this is a fraudulent coupon you cant use it I just
said oh ok, I knew it was too good to be true! and left.. kinda scarey..
so is that the general consensus.. 3 coupons per page? I tried
to cut the page in half so to speak and have 2 columns of 4 or 5 coupons
today and they didn't scan well at all.. this was before I read the
replies and she just keyed them in for me.. she even said I'm not
supposed to be doing this lol.. I said my bad next time I'll print I"m
bigger.. you guys reckon that was my problem?

Could you please give me the MFID and amount you want off of each product.
Snapple will work, but in regards to the Slingbox I'd wait until GL releases the Chromecast coupon.

3 coupons per page. I usually make them 5.75" in width.

No.
You need to buy the OC. Then after 7 days you will be eligible to
purchase the OC2. According to GL, the OC2 will cost less than the OC,
and will be for people that have experience.
You must purchase the OC
before making ANY other purchases from GL. This is for your best
interest as well as the good of the group.

On an somewhat random note, I read somewhere that Sony does not
issue coupons and that any Sony coupon must therefore be inauthentic.
Anyone have any experience with this? Also what is a good jumpoff point
for first timer? using 10-20-50-100$ worth of coupons? Any tips or
tricks for newbs? (I know its probably listed somewhere in this thread
but I dont want to spend the next 12 hours reading 1cm high text)

Don't think I've heard about that Sony thing.
As a first timer I'd go with 3-6 from the OC pack. Work your way up as you feel comfortable.

Find
a Walmart (or any place for that matter) that carries $50 MasterCard
(Green Ribbon) GCs with 99366 in the long string of numbers and stuff a
few in your pocket and walk on out. They're pointless like this, so I
don't see much harm in it. Then take one with a coupon to a WM with the
SC that will work.

my plan. sucks that the visa ones won't let me check out. gay. i would
just stick to AMEX but i wanna use Virowex and they don't accept amex

Fun fact: With AMEX you can log onto their website and create a pin
for the GCs, then take them to a free ATM, like the CASHPOINTS ATMs and
pull out the cash..

Hey Guys!
Haven't been on in a while because of school and
all, but just wanted to chime in on my latest raid at big blue. Saved
$69 on a $102.32 grocery bill! I was very pleased and happy because that
was my first very big run! Just want to give my thanks to GoldenLotus
and to everyone on here for your dedication and hard work toward these
coupons! Thank you all!
Just a quick couple of questions also...
1. When is OC2 coming out?
2. When was the latest update on the OC?
3. When I tried to use my $49.99/$50.00 SC coup, it wouldn't accept my coupon.
Thanks,
Mr.Black

1. Don't know yet. Lotus hasn't released that information yet.
2.
Latest update to the OC should have end of November expiration dates.
Not sure when it was updated. If you scan the GS1 and the expiration
date is not November you have an old update and need to download again.
(Don't go by the expiration date in the top right corner. Check the GS1
to be sure of the latest update)
3. We need a little more information than that.
*Were you at a WM with the lane style SCs?
*Did the coupon make the scanner beep?
*What size did you print the coupon?
-
Thanks for the help jacob1234
The WM I was at had the square configurations of the SC
When I scanned the coupon, the SC did beep like it was going to take the coupon, but no $$$ off actual item
Just normal sized like all the OC coupons I use
*Also....I do remember the GC having 77 in front and then the actual MFID so I don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Mr.Black

I
don't want to be judgemental but as someone just starting to research
into this amazing thing called couponing I can't help but think that
this a lil bit greedy and uncouth. Not only are you being sloppy with
your own safety, you are putting everyone else invested into this who is
taking the proper precautions and safety measures in danger as well.
Seems like a thing a kid would do. Am I being too harsh or something on
this? I don't know how this all works just yet so I am kinda left to
speculate...Anybody know if its bad to use these alot?
-
I don't have any codes, or maybe I just don't know how to get them. I
just filled out the form on the riseup.net website requesting an email
address and they got back to me within a little over a week or so.

The Wally by me that I hit up regularly for a couple of cards a
month finally had one of the Visas with the 302xx number but when I took
it to the SC it said set card aside for CSR or something like that. she
told me that I needed to do that at the regular register so I just
asked her to cancel the entire transaction while I meet up with my wife
to finish the rest of our shopping. I walked out with the un-activated
card. I'll have to try it at another Wally later on. Never did that with
the Amex cards but they rarerly have those in that Wally any more.

Been reading the past few pages to try and catch up.
Any one
recently use the Mobile Oil coupon in the Lottery Collection? I read a
while back that it wasn't working, so just wanted to make sure before I
made the run. (I saw it posted a long time by the way) Need to do an oil
change, so going go for that run soon.
Or better question would
be, does anyone know of any coupons that haven't been working at WM
lately. Specifically from the Advanced, OC, and lottery collection?
Thanks.
-
Wal-Mart at this point is hit or miss with almost anything. Some
stores are fine, others are a mess. If you assert your knowledge of
Wal-Mart's corporate coupon policy they should manually put it through. I
never heard any complaints about the Mobil Oil coupons and they have
always worked for me. Verify your Manufacturer ID's like you always
should and you will have no issues.

Turkey! Much appreciated advice. I've heard of issues with Wal-Mart
going around recently. Luckily my local one hasn't had this issue. I
feel more confident now going for that run.

Is it just me or are some OC coupons that expired at the end of July abd havent been replaced?
Such as cheeseItz and Horizon milk.
Both have November expiration dates for me.
-
The Horizon Milk Coupon did not work for me last night at Wallys. How are you guys getting milk?

Coupons of all sorts (legit and counterfeit) have been messing up at Walmarts. It's very hit-or-miss.
Best bet is to try at Target or another Walmart. Perhaps even a more local chain of grocery stores.
If
it is carried in your area, I just finished a requested coupon for
Upstate Farms Milk which will be included in the lotto after everything
settles down. Also I've created a Almond Breeze coupon that will be
included in the lotto if this is an option for you.
I personally use Almond Breeze and love it. Many reasons to switch over.
If
either of these coupons sounds like something you want but you can't
wait for them to come out in the lotto, I will gladly send them to you
as long as you verify you have purchased the lotto. You can verify by
sending the 1st, 5th, and 9th character in the URL after the main domain
(http://purpltx7wizybwaj.onion/). [EXAMPLE: if the URL is
http://purpltx7wizybwaj.onion/GoldenRocks/ You'd send me "G, e, c" for
verification.]

Can someone please PM me 2 rise up invite code?
Thank you!

yeah that horizon milk coupon has been ringing up as expired for a
couple weeks, I posted about it a while back...I know all the WMs in my
area nixed it, haven't tried Target lately so I don't know if it's just
them blacklisting it or if there's a problem with the actual coup since
it's been updated
-
horizon milk coupon at tarjays = no problem.

make the switch to almond juice or go back to the shitty BGH/antibiotic
stuff

Horizon still works at two local chains here, not wal-mart though.
And
has the Lottery collection been updated? I'm guessing the updates have a
different link now. I noticed they expired a few weeks (months) ago.
I'm going to message GL on his return. Seems he's been absent lately, so
I'll wait until he's active on the thread again.

I have been reading slot on this lately in preparation for 1st shot.
I noticed many if not 95% of these are listed on CIC.com's list as
fraudulent. Can anyone assuage me because it makes me nervous..And also
where are some places that should be avoided? Places that are the best?
you can use one or two letters so u dont name the place.

The
CIC is a joke. Many stores SAY they go by the CIC's list, but the
cashier's almost never do. If you stick with The Big Three (Kmart,
Walmart, Target) you're going to be safe. We're all using these coupons.
If
it makes you feel any better the worst they can tell you is "no we
can't accept this" and you can be on your way. You always have the
ability to say "I just downloaded it from the internet" (which you
wouldn't be lying... okay... well lying be omission, but still they
cannot prove you purchased these coupons).
Do not worry about the
CIC, nor should you worry about getting in any kind of trouble for
using these. I've been using these for over 6 months now and all I
usually get with the OC is "Holy crap. Where can I get me some of
these?"
-
LOL sweet. I am going to be extremely diligent and respectful of the
power engratied (sp?) to me with this gift. GL you are a real blessing
to those who are in need of providing to our families in tough times. I
would love any advice on which collection is a good next step. Goal is
the SC GCs but want to get a good grasp on all info before so..(although
I may want to hurry before harder and harder to use as time passes

APOLOGIES IF THIS IS HAS HORRIBLE GRAMMAR AND SPELLING AND WHATNOT BECAUSE I'M SUPER TIRED.
I
have a quick announcement before I head off to bed. I figure it's close
enough to being finished and safe to let you all know what I've been
working on the past few days.
As many of you know, there has been
talk of an official FAQs and guide to these coupons. The only thing
we've had is the forum, and while it's great and all it's cumbersome,
allows for questions to be asked and answered multiple times, and is
just not the format a new user wants to have to go through when starting
out. I still highly recommend going through the forum topic, but this
should make it a lot easier to get new users on their feet.
Okay
first off, my original plan was to make a wiki just for our little
group/family. I was even compiling one on my local machine. I had been
surfing on Evil Wiki for a couple weeks now. All of a sudden a thought
popped into my head "why not make it on Evil Wiki" it doesn't have a
WHOLE lot of users at the moment so we won't be bogging it down and for
the users that go on there looking for sites they will be exposed to
GL's stuff.
First thing I did was add GL to the Marketplace list.
This will help to get views for anybody surfing or specifically in the
market for something.
Second thing I decided was to just go ahead
and make GL his own wiki page. It is complete with links (protected
against phishing) to his vendor profile as well as brief descriptions
(and links) of each of his listings (not including the coupon making
lessons... will be added later). This page can be found here:
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus
Then I thought hell I'll just make pages for the listings. So I ended up adding OC, AC, NF, and HC with their own pages...
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Original_Collection
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Advanced_Collection
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Not_Free_Collection
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Hardcore_Collection
I
added him to the list of reviewed vendors/sites (but haven't gotten
around to writing my review and it'll have to wait until I've had some
sleep) so feel free to write a review and your experiences.
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/Reviews#GoldenLotus
I
also started work on a complete guide to using GL's coupons. Feel free
to add to it if you feel something should be there. IF YOU FEEL
SOMETHING SHOULD BE REMOVED PUT IT IN THE TALK PAGE SO THE COMMUNITY CAN
DISCUSS IT.
I need people to add tutorials for printing coupons on
different Operating Systems and programs. I added a few (without
instructions), and will gladly take the Mac>iWork Pages tutorial. If
you have good insight on how to print off multiple coupons using Word on
Windows (or Mac) or any other program you may use go ahead and add
instructions.
Guide can be found here: http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Using_Your_Coupons
I'm
also working on getting all the store coupon acceptance policies
transferred from my local machine to the wiki, but I just cannot
complete it tonight. DO NOT ADD POLICIES FOR THE STORES LISTED. YOU WILL
ONLY BE DOING WORK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. If you want to add
stores that are not listed please go ahead as only the ones listed have
been converted to Wiki format. The store policies can be found here:
http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/GoldenLotus/Store_Policies
As you can see only the big three have been added, but this time tomorrow all those red links will be blue.
EDIT: Store policies have been updated. If you know of more, please feel free to add them to the list (alphabetically).
Please
feel free to add anything you feel should be added, if you want to
discuss something do so in the related page's talk page. This is a
community project, so don't hesitate to chip in.
Take care everybody.
See you once I'm rested.

Wow, thanks so much jacob! You are a true SR hero. After this week I
will be compiling that information and adding some things of my own and
getting it all posted to the front page of this forum and potentially
the vendor profile.
I apologize to the community for not only
missing the Sunday projected deadline for a completed OC2 but also for
not explaining the situation earlier. It feels like the calm waters are
getting few and far between. When SR isn't slapping me in the face, real
life is. This particular week real life came out of left field on me
and for the first time ever you could see an entire day where I wasn't
able to log in and the days I did, I could only go as far as filling
orders. I have backlogged messages, etc... but I'm back and real life is
back to calm and SR is presenting no issues for me either.
We
plan to draw the long await Lottery winners before the end of the week,
prior to the weekend, and then the OC2 is projected for this Sunday now.
Thank
you to everyone for being calm and patient with me. And special thanks
to jacob, T4B, and everyone who goes out of their way to help improve
our community. We truly have turned this into a special thing over the
last 18 months. Transcending SR and coupons, we built a family. If that
sounds too corny for you, then welcome to the club... you won't find
better people around who do more for each other than right here.

Good news on the Lottery drawing, thanks for that update.
Sorry
to hear you keep getting slammed, but I guess that's just the nature of
things. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say you already do so
much, and there is no need to apologize for such things. We all
understand how life can just come at you sometimes.
No problem on
the wiki pages. I have been working on this (in my head) for weeks now.
When something comes to me it doesn't stop working its way out of me.
By
all means add your own information, change things up, etc. And that
goes for everybody. Feel free to add things based on your own
experiences. Most of the guide is what I've compiled (both from personal
experience and from this forum) over the past 6 months of using these
coupons. If you feel I wasn't detailed enough, or didn't properly relay
some type of information please help out by changing it up.
-
Here! Here! +1 for our fearless leader. We are working through the
lottery drawing issues and will have them done no matter what. I need to
hear back from at least 2 more people, but if we don't hear anything
before Friday, we may just go ahead with the drawing based on the
information we have and leave those entries out for this round.
On
a lighter note, I hope everyone is doing well. We have some fun things
happening with the OC2 and all of you will be very pleased! If you plan
on buying candy to give out on Halloween, hold off until the packs are
released. I expect the Lotus family will be the houses that every kid in
the neighborhood is talking about because they are the ones giving out
full sized candy bars!

Thanks SOO much for that guide. Quick ?, my BigBox (blue) has a SC
that is configured like a square with one opening on the corner of both
sides and an attendant in the right corner. Does this tell anything?
Also, what lane should I go through with OC? what about when getting
GCs?

The
SC you described does NOT work with the GCs in the NF collection. You
should have no problem with using the OC at this SC though. If you DO
have any problems with the OC just cover up the GS1 databar with your
finger so that the scanner just picks up the UPC barcode.
When it
comes to the OC just use them as you would any coupons you printed
online. Pretty much any cashier will do. It's good to go for somebody
who doesn't look like they really want to be there. Younger people are
always better. Older people tend to be more into the rules than the
younger ones. Just try to stay away from cashiers that look like they're
just starting out. You want to find the happy middle.
You'll get the hang of it and scoping out a good lane will be natural after a few times.

If he is describing the set of 8's, which I believe he is those do
in fact work more often than not in my experience. A while back I
made a post detailing every type of self checkout and which ones work
with the 49.99 and which don't. I had put some "styles" on the
list that didn't work. I'd like to revise that to some work more
often than others but I've seen every one work now.
Something I haven't seen work is a neighborhood market. I must of been to 20 by now and they haven't worked.
Does
anyone know what the threshold is that makes the self checkouts say
"Please set coupon aside.....". Can you get 20s or 25s from
those? What about 15s?

The
SCs set up in a box formation with entrance in one corner and exit in
the corner diagnal to the entrance I've found will not take the $49.99.
I've tried many times. It *beeps* as if it is going to take the coupon,
but amount is never deducted.

I'm not so up to date with this thread, but here was my experience
today with the OC coupons. some bad luck. I've used them here and there
ever since PL was around, and theyve always been awesome. today was my
first time denied. If I had been more persistent, maybe they would have
gone through, or scanned the other barcode? I was in a rush and didn't
care too much at the moment. oh well.
it was a big blue store, it
looks like they may had been hit, because a few of the items that I
tried to get were completely empty off the shelf, while a comparable
product next to it was full.
anyway.
Didnt work:
-Save $4 Clean and Clear 0081370 (expired/invalid)
-Save $5 Brita replacement filter 0060258 (expired/invalid)
-Save $4 on any Ziploc product 0025700 (expired/invalid)
-Save $5 Axe product (did not try, different barcode)
-Save $6.50 on Emergen-C (expired/invalid)
Did work:
-Save $5 on any 1 oral-B Tooth Brush 0300416
-Save $10 on 1 4ct pack of Fusion pro Glide Razors 0047400
Should I have asked them to scan the other barcode? I thought of that as soon as I paid for my items. Forgot about that.
(edit: added emergen-c as not working)

Yup! Ziploc coupon has been having issues for a while according to a
few members.. GL will fix asap with the rest of the coupons..
I will try out the Ziploc this upcoming weekend and report back..

Hello all, I want to introduce myself and say thanks to all of you
for your contributions that I've been digesting here in this thread. I
recently tuned into the GL community and so far it's been as exciting as
discovering SR all over again. The satisfaction derived from success
with these coupons has been as intoxicatingly pleasureable as anything
I've picked up elsewhere here on the Road. From the most benign OC to
the NF, it's been amazing. That excitement alone has been worth it,
never mind the actual savings. As someone close to me said while
enjoying some resulting items last evening "[said items] taste so much
better." I couldn't agree more.
Thank you once again
GoldenLotus! I hope personal life relaxes a bit for you this week. You
couldn't have chosen a better vendor name to represent you or your
services among the many here on SR.
Fantastic guide jacob, thank
you for creating these guides. Part of me feels that the specific guide
urls should be exclusive to customers similar to data files, but I say
that very humbly as a I'm very new to this and my coupon balls have yet
to fully drop. :) I dunno. I'm still learning. Publicity and the
seemingly reckless behavior in recent posts concerns me a bit in terms
of longetivity of use. Not sure if those concerns are valid or not, but
the guide is much appreciated and, lucky for me, in excellent time!

Whenever multiple coupons don't work at Walmart, I always get the
gut feeling that it's one of those random system changes that seems to
temporarily effect many of us at big blue. What I would recomend,
assuming you got it in you, would be to take one or two of those same
coupons to KMart or Target and see if you don't find success. Then if
that is the case I would stop going to that one Walmart for about a
month, since most of us found it to be only a temporary issue and it
seems to have hit us in waves, eachperson at a different time so it's
hard to predict. If this is your issue, then I would not use that
Walmart for the time being as you won't ever know what to expect will
work and what won't. This will pass... I still use those coupons with
success, but honestly I only use Walmart for my Not Free - self checkout
adventures now a days and save my OC shopping for other spots.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I have secured and am finalizing the setup of an off-SR forum that we
will be using to discuss more advanced topics that we want to keep in a
tighter circle and so we can leave this thread open for reviews and help
people out who need assistance. I have always wanted our own forum
where we could discuss things without the entire world, LE, SR mods, etc
being able to chime in or quietly observe. As far as the details of how
I handle it, I am still planning it out, but I would like to see it go
live this weekend along with the OC2. Knowing that's a lot of work, I'll
be keeping OC2 my #1 focus but I'm really excited for a private forum
for us.

Too
cool! +1 The OC2 is no longer the thing I've been the most excited
about since the HC. A private forum is a tremendous enhancement for this
community.
Please, please, please let me join. :)
Yeah,
some Wallies are unfriendlier than they used to be. Target, KMart,
Publix and even Kroger, as well as at least three regional chains just
in my area are fine w/ the OC, without much of a hiccup even.
Come to think of it, WalMart is the ONLY place that has outright refused to take some coupons, with very few exceptions.
-
So excited for OC2!!
Can't wait to see what amazing things Golden Lotus has in store for all of us!
This
may have already been answered in an earlier page, so I apologize if I
am asking again, but was there a fix made to the Horizon Milk coupon
since the beginning of Aug? It wouldn't go through at Wallies, not
that the cashier didn't put it through anyways lol but the bar code
would not scan.

The OC has been working flawlessly for me. I will definitely be checking in on Sunday for OC2.
So
I tried my first GC coupon. I went with a $20 off of a $25 [a
store] GC. I selected a CV$ and as I walked in all I saw was a 17
year old overweight kid at the register. ‘Perfect!’ I’m thinking
to myself, “I’ve got this.” I find the cards, find the right
digits and go to the register confidently and ready to talk about online
surveys.
Turns out the kid was fricking
Johnny-On-The-Spot! He looks at the coupon and says “coupons for
GC aren’t real, I can’t take this.” I responded with, “what? Of
course it’s real, you didn’t even scan it.” He refused to scan it
and said “you should take it to [the store].” Oh yeah, I forgot to
mention that the CV$ I went to was right across from [the store]!
Doh! Kind of hard to continue arguing at that point.
I never planned to bat .1000, and as first time rejection goes, I thought it was pretty funny.
T4B: I just replied to your message, sorry it took so long, thank you for your help.

Wanna check in and let you guys know what I've run into.
From the Not Free collection:
$49.99 off Visa at SC required attendant, called it off because I think a free giftcard coupon looks sketchy
$49.99 of Amex SC works flawlessly every time at walmart, problem is they aren't always there.
havent
tried the $49.99 off MC but the reason I've been going for Amex is
because it has a bar code and Visa didnt which is why it required
attendant.
I tried the $40 of MC and Visa at Walgreens, and 2
local grocery stores. Walgreens tried but even though the first 5 UPC
matched it didn't go through. All good I thought, on to the next one.
Next grocery store wont even scan it, tell me they don't take these
coupons. Next grocery store took it to the manager and she tried to put
it through, but it didn't go through.
Do these coupons for GCs
only work at certain places? I don't want to use the $40 off at WM so I
don't get too recognized while doing the $49.99 ones. And do the $49.99
ones work at other self checkouts, like target?
Last question,
can you use multiple GC coupons at once? Would love to go into WM and
grab 2 or 3 AMEX's and ring them up before the employee with too few
chromosomes notices.
Sorry for so many questions, just found this thread. Thanks!

tighter circle and so we can leave this thread open for reviews and help
people out who need assistance. I have always wanted our own forum
where we could discuss things without the entire world, LE, SR mods, etc
being able to chime in or quietly observe. As far as the details of how
I handle it, I am still planning it out, but I would like to see it go
live this weekend along with the OC2. Knowing that's a lot of work, I'll
be keeping OC2 my #1 focus but I'm really excited for a private forum
for us.
Lotus
I'm loving this announcement!
For anyone who has not yet drank the GL kool-aid, still on the fence, or new to SR... it's all been said before. Do it.
Sex, Drugs, and Coupons...
Know
that today was another *beaming* GOOD day made possible by GoldenLotus.
Know he was referred to as a "really good person", "hero", and "fucking
badass" by an associate this afternoon while simply browsing the OC
collection for the first time.
And that session turned into an
exciting 2 hour discussion of the awesome merits of each and every item
before eventually heading out. 2 hours. Discussing coupons. 2 hours.
Two.
That's a miracle I never would have conceived. Just like the collections themselves.
Also,
the OC and NF collections have already paid for themselves in only 5,
no, 4 days (!) and it feels like my life has changed. Boredom and budget
no longer beset me. Nothing but success. This isn't hyperbole, it's
honesty.
No doubt a tip is in order the next time coins hit my wallet and the OC2 will be a priority.
And do the $49.99 ones work at other self checkouts, like target?
I've read that they do, but not at the SC. You'll have to interact with the cashier. Doesn't sound fun.
Last
question, can you use multiple GC coupons at once? Would love to go
into WM and grab 2 or 3 AMEX's and ring them up before the employee with
too few chromosomes notices.
According
to store policy, doing so would prompt for supervisor verification (see
last line of guidelines and limitations). Doesn't sound fun or
advisable.

Sorry for so many questions, just found this thread. Thanks!
Just
using common sense, what I'd think if i was cashier was that you had
fake coupons. That would be my gut reaction if you came to me with them.
That raises alotta red flags.
-
Hey i found that OC coupons work much better in the 24 hour Walmarts
than in the regular Walmarts that close by 10 or 11 pm.. Has anybody
else noticed this?
-
Wal-mart is acting strange from store to store. Some 24 hour
locations are being problematic, some normal hour stores are being
problematic. Some stores are working just fine. It just depends on your
individual locations. We have not seen any correlation to 24 hours
stores vs. one which close.
-
3 Walmarts near me, 2 with Self checkout, and the one with the box
shaped self checkout the $49.99 off coupons weren't working. Other one
it works fine.
Should I be worried about going in to one walmart
once or twice a day to get a giftcard? I know it sounds like a lot, but I
figured different shifts I have nothing to worry about, unless they
figure out they're fake coupons.
Speaking of which, is there a
certain period where I should discontinue a store because eventually
they'll realize the coupons are fake or can I pretty much do it til the
machine won't take it?
Also, do these coupons (Not Free ones in
particular) work in most stores, or is mainly just the big 3, Target,
WM, and KMart? Some wouldn't scan at the walgreens I went to which sucks
because even the manager was down to let it go through.
Sorry but I just have sooo many questions :P

SPECIAL LIMITED AVAILABILITY LIFETIME LISTINGS NOW LIVE!!! 8) 8) 8)
$125 Option #1: Lifetime Membership only.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/fa93768fa3
$175
Option #2: Lifetime Membership plus one free copy of any of my
currently listed advanced collections that you may not already own.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/087f7f1bd1
For
the low starting price of $125, starting today, you can purchase a
lifetime membership to the Lotus store. This price includes every
collection I ever make in the future free of charge for you after paying
this one time fee. For those of you who know and trust me, you know
this is not some kind of FE scam. This is legitimate and in my opinion a
great deal with a very low risk and high reward value.
Your
first free collection would be the OC2 which immediately gives you 50%~
of your Return on Investment (R.O.I.) right away. You also will receive a
sneak preview of your copy of the OC2 on Saturday instead of Sunday. It
will not be 100% completed but will include all of our progress so far
and on Sunday when I finalize the OC2, you won't need to redownload any
files, I'll simply add the newest ones into new files.
This
coveted listing entitles you to all future collection releases free too.
After the OC2 release we immediately begin work on our 2013 Christmas
collection and nothing in the world is going to stop me from making
Christmas 2013 better than the amazing Christmas 2012 we all enjoyed. So
by the time you own the OC2 and the Christmas collection you will have
made a complete R.O.I. and still be entitles to all future collections I
then move on to completely free of any charge. The only risk you take
would be in the event that a serious issue were to take me completely
out of S.R., but as many of you know, it would have to be dramatically
serious since I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep my promises
and have a long track record of doing so.
*This listing does not
entitle you to any current existing collections such as HC, AC, or NF
for free if you do not already own those (you don't have to own any of
those except the OC to be eligible to purchase this exclusive listing*
**In
the event I have a credit/subscription based project like my retired
.onion coupon generator, it is likely I won't allow anyone ever to have
unlimited access as I feel that's dangerous, but those of you who
purchase entry into this exclusive group now will certainly get their
generous free share of credits/duration of subscription.**
As a
second option, for those of you who do not own every current collection I
have available, for a price of $175 you will get the exact same offer
and benefits as the $125 listing but you can also make a pick for a free
copy of any advanced collection I currently offer which is a $10
savings on the Advanced and Hardcore collections or a $30 savings off
the Not Free collection. This $175 offer only entitles you to one free
pick of any advanced collection you do not already own.
If you
have any questions feel free to ask them on the forum, or PM me on
SilkRoad. This will have a limited quantity and duration for sales, but
it is that I modify it if I want to continue to offer it. I SERIOUSLY
doubt it will ever get better than this though.
1. You must have previously owned the OC for at least 10 days or more to fully qualify to purchase this listing.
2.
If you have less than 10 days, but already own the OC and want to
secure this listing before it's gone you may buy it, and I will mark it
in transit, but will not deliver anything until your 10 day wait from
the purchase of the OC has hit.
3. You will not be required to
ask or remind me every time something new comes out... since this is a
limited quantity listing it will be easy for me to hand out collections
you are entitled to right away, but always feel free to message me for
any reason.
I will adjust these rules if needed, but will not
change or take back any promises I have made at your time of purchase.
You are locked in as a lifetime member who may receive even more than
what he/she bargained for if I make changes in your favor, but will
never lose any privileges promised in these statement.
At your service,
Lotus

Transfer, you damn coins! Transfer! Dammit, I'm going to have
to wait until I get back from work to secure my spot. ;D
-
holy sweet jesus! i feel like i just woke up and won the lottery,
thats an awesome listing for 125$ now if only the coin transfers fast
enough!

Okay. Quick update for everybody. On Wednesday I was in the middle
of updating my OS and the installation failed. I'm left with a corrupt
hard drive that is encrypted so I have no access to any files on it at
the moment (including my PGP key). I'm hoping to get this fixed by
Monday though, but until then if you need to contact me please do so
without encrypting the message.
I'm currently using Tails on a liveDVD, which is what I will do until I can get my main OS up and running.
According
to store policy, doing so would prompt for supervisor verification (see
last line of guidelines and limitations). Doesn't sound fun or
advisable.

I
actually used to be an extreme couponer(Now I'm an
oc/advanced/hardcore/notfree). Living on a fixed income forced us
to try to find ways to stretch our budget. Its still difficult for
me to believe I used to clip a hundred sunday papers a week with my
wife and younger brother. I've come a hell of a long way from
where I was. Now, instead of waiting for good deals, I already
have them regardless of whether or not the product is on sale. If
your on the fence, allow me to set it on fire.
THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT ON SR PERIOD
To
the person asking for tips, I was a couponer before I found this so
people already knew me as a shrewd bastard. Start with the OC.(I did
nothing but OC for a month and put myself in different scenarios with
the OC on purpose so I knew how to handle any eventuality.(It also
allowed me to meet CSM's over petty problems so that when I came back
with HC/AC, they just tell the cashier to let me through.)
Once you have that "couponers confidence" and learned stores
policies, its all a walk in the park. If my wife can do it, anyone
can. :o Dress for success. By that I mean, don't look
like a dropout and don't wear a tux. Business casual has always worked
for me, but its different strokes....
Where did this fucker go? Haven't seen him for months!

Hit me up for the link, looking forward to Sunday!

my roommates friend actually has the program though which i'm pretty sure you're using to make these things.
so
i get all of what you offer...and MORE.....for free :)))). well....i
was just extremely lucky in who i chose to live with this year.
TAKE
UP THIS OFFER. i've pretty much came into thousands of dollars this
semester because of these things (all the GC ones...not to mention
coupons for literally everything and the kitchen sink...)...and it's
only a month into the semester! someone needs to find out a good way to
turn these GC's into cash. that's what i want. i think the target AMEX
giftcard is one option but...that's kinda iffy.

It is nice to see you again, limitlesshorizon420.
Did you see limitlesshorizon420? He hasn't posted since July 12!
-
No I was fooled by your quote, thought he must be back and I somehow
missed it. Now I see the date. He is a good dude so I hope he gets back
soon. A lot of guys I really miss.
Glad to see the private forum
with some veteran support so quickly. Wasting no time having such a
large arena to discuss anything we want. If you are a previous customer
who likes to be active on the forum (no customer will be turned down)
then ask me for the link to our brand new private forum for discussing
more advanced topics and general posts we want to keep outside of the
public eye.
This thread will still remain very active for
reviews, questions and answers for new users, etc... but on the private
forum we can speak freely without fear of unwanted eyes.
If
someone were to share their method of turning GCs into cash, it would
most likely take place in the private forum. We shall see. I have had a
couple guys share secrets with me but asked me not to repeat them
publicly on this thread. Hopefully the new private thread makes that
info more accessible to all of us. I have kept my promises to those who
trusted me.
Lotus
**Also for all my fellow stoners,
SativaSally is back in business. Their operation has always shown
special favor to fellow coupon customers so make sure you say hello and
mention where you heard this from when ordering. You won't find higher
quality buds on SR and at a great price considering. This is by far not
commercial weed, but an incredible value for the price. Very friendly
and highly trusted people.

I'm
sure lotus appreciates the (possibly fake) gratude and endorsement, but
coming on here and telling everybody you get what GL offers for free

If you can't read the topic title it says

I would like to invite everybody again (in a shorter post) to review GoldenLotus' coupons on the EvilWiki.
I
feel that if we can give the EvilWiki traffic and have more users
contributing (not just to GL's pages) that we can make the EvilWiki more
popular than the Hidden Wiki (which it needs to be).
You can find GoldenLotus on the Review page... http://wvk32thojln4gpp4.onion/wiki/index.php/Reviews#GoldenLotus

I think he was clear he is happy with all my coupons and uses
friends to supplement, but I could be wrong. Nothing wrong with sharing
your experience if that's what it is, but just don't try to do
transactions if you aren't a vendor (which will get you banned) and I
certainly don't think that's what he meant but it was a good spot for me
to say that.
going add the wiki to the front page of this forum and my vendor page.

you're
right. it's lotus's thread. just thought i'd mention it. and i
mean..these coupons work. yours work. I don't think one could
potentially be better than another.
i was pretty much just adding
to the conversation that these coupons ARE legit and that i've, nor he,
have had any problems using them.
sorry if it came across
like i was trying to impede on Lotus' ground. I certainly was not trying
to do any transactions. that's more work than i would want and Lotus
seems to have a (resonably so) monopoly on these products so why try and
compete? plus...if it's not obvious enough...i can just make money
through these coupons alone? why come on here and try and sell them? if i
were to that i'd just sell them to friends and stuff IRL who aren't on
SR.
but yeah. anyway. i would really be interested in hearing
how other people turn these GC into cash. I have a few ways which have
worked for me but they are all kind of...a hassle. to say the least. I
talked to Lotus about this this past week and he seemed to know of a few
but nothing that wasn't....well...a hassle.
Sorry Jacob.

Nope,
it's all good. I've just learned to promote friendliness around here
and good things happen. Many people have seen me go through stages where
I was rather wicked to anyone who faced me (in my defense they were
fucking over Silkroad customers badly, so I had reason to be passionate
beyond just a competitive nature)... and that was just something I had
to go through. A learning experience that I grew from. Now competition
just fears me, so it's not a concern and I can just smile and be happy
:-)
Lol, I'm just in a playful mood because I think these new coupons I'm making are coming out very, very nicely.
Here
is a repeat of what I posted on the last page... This is a very limited

and on Sunday when I finalize the OC2, you won't need to redownload any
files, I'll simply add the newest ones into new files.
This
coveted listing entitles you to all future collection releases free too.
After the OC2 release we immediately begin work on our 2013 Christmas
collection and nothing in the world is going to stop me from making
Christmas 2013 better than the amazing Christmas 2012 we all enjoyed. So
by the time you own the OC2 and the Christmas collection you will have
made a complete R.O.I. and still be entitles to all future collections I
then move on to completely free of any charge. The only risk you take
would be in the event that a serious issue were to take me completely
out of S.R., but as many of you know, it would have to be dramatically
serious since I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep my promises
and have a long track record of doing so.
*This listing does not
entitle you to any current existing collections such as HC, AC, or NF
for free if you do not already own those (you don't have to own any of
those except the OC to be eligible to purchase this exclusive listing*
**In
the event I have a credit/subscription based project like my retired
.onion coupon generator, it is likely I won't allow anyone ever to have
unlimited access as I feel that's dangerous, but those of you who
purchase entry into this exclusive group now will certainly get their
generous free share of credits/duration of subscription.**
As a
second option, for those of you who do not own every current collection I
have available, for a price of $175 you will get the exact same offer
and benefits as the $125 listing but you can also make a pick for a free
copy of any advanced collection I currently offer which is a $10
savings on the Advanced and Hardcore collections or a $30 savings off
the Not Free collection. This $175 offer only entitles you to one free
pick of any advanced collection you do not already own.
If you
have any questions feel free to ask them on the forum, or PM me on
SilkRoad. This will have a limited quantity and duration for sales, but
it is that I modify it if I want to continue to offer it. I SERIOUSLY
doubt it will ever get better than this though.
1. You must have previously owned the OC for at least 10 days or more to fully qualify to purchase this listing.
2.
If you have less than 10 days, but already own the OC and want to
secure this listing before it's gone you may buy it, and I will mark it
in transit, but will not deliver anything until your 10 day wait from
the purchase of the OC has hit.
3. You will not be required to
ask or remind me every time something new comes out... since this is a
limited quantity listing it will be easy for me to hand out collections
you are entitled to right away, but always feel free to message me for
any reason.
I will adjust these rules if needed, but will not
change or take back any promises I have made at your time of purchase.
You are locked in as a lifetime member who may receive even more than
what he/she bargained for if I make changes in your favor, but will
never lose any privileges promised in these statement.
At your service,
Lotus"

my roommates friend actually has the program though which i'm pretty sure you're using to make these things.
I cannot believe you guys have not picked up on the obvious...the roommates friend IS pl/gl!!!
Needless
to say, I am up early d/l OC2. I have been a customer of GL for
about a month now and it took me about .03 seconds to make my decision
to buy the Lifetime subscription.
Is anyone else having
trouble getting into the private forum? I was in yesterday but I
haven't been able to get back in since then.
-
It has been down for me as well..
-
Forum is down, however it was purchased at a month rate through
escrow on SR from a highly reputable vendor so I believe he will work it
out ASAP for sure.
Also the Lifetime Membership listing is now
gone... it is possible for some of you to still request it as a stealth
listing, but it is no longer public and won't be offered unless you
either asked me ahead of time, or are a loyal customer who asks me in PM
now.
Enjoy some football! OC2 tonight. It may not be 100%, but
it contains 150 coupons and I am pushing to get more of what I planned
done before release, either way it would then roll over to free
additions this week if not, promised.

LOL smoked, your cool as hell man. Ok so the private forum had

it.
finalizing the OC2 now, it will be up for sale an hour or so from now.

Back from my little couponing break. Thank you to GL for trusting me
and giving me access to the new pack while I await the painstakingly
long process of transferring btc from mt gox to blockchain to SR to him.
This guy really provides a customer service unknown to SR.

Is the $49.99 off $50 AMEX GC from the not free collection the only GC coupon that works on SCs?
-
Any coupon(s) under $50 will work at self checkout at Walmart. Do
not exceed $50 with one or multiple coupons or it will alert for
assistance.
You do not have to purchase the lifetime membership
to buy the OC2. The Lifetime Membership was just a small listing for
people willing to trust me enough to pay and invest in all of my work
which they will now get free for my SR duration. And they get added
bonus's like being beta testers, etc..
I sold 10 Lifetime
Memberships before taking the listing down, and I reserved a spot for 3
who asked while it was still up. So that's how exclusive it is.

-
So Walmart is like target where you can't get away with more than $50 in savings? Or is that just for SCs at Walmart?
Would a full-page 40 off 50 visa work at a SC?
Also
just have to say these coupons are worth their file size in gold!
Really great stuff this is a must-have for any silk-roader.
-
All Packs in the OC have all been updated with searchable file
names. No new content was added, but using the new file names coupons
should be instantly searchable using your Operating System's search
function. I will be working through the rest of the packs and the rest
of the collections to make everyone's life easier.

Already stocked up on 162 full sized candy bars and paid for nothing

full size candy to all the kiddies!

You
can get away with more than $50 in savings at Wal-Mart, but it requires
a CSM turning a key. So the best practice is to keep it to $49.99 so
you can walk out without being noticed. If you have a huge stack of OC
coupons and you go over $50, it is no big deal, but a Manager has to
come approve it. Target never requires a manger unless a single coupon
is over $60, then they will call a manager and probably reject it
because that is their policy. But, you can have an unlimited amount of
savings.
$40 off a $50 visa will work at most Wal-Mart SCs.

Ok.
So in the past month since buying the Not Free Collection
I have gotten about 10 gift cards from 5 walmarts. I saw
somewhere where somebody got the American Express cards to create a pin
to get cash back. Has anybody done that? I know the MC
doesn't have it, and I just tried the American Express but it doesn't
have a pin either. Have any of you been able to get cash out of
these?
-
My trip to Bullseye went well tonight. Had a small list of stuff to
get and used about 8 or 9 coupons. They all went through except for
Simply OJ. It was on sale at the store for $3.50 and the coupon was for
$3.00 off. Did Target block this coupon?
I also thought of an
idea that seems relatively easy to implement. On the Evil Wiki store
policies page there could be a sub page where anyone could post about
the coupons that did and didn't work there for them. Anyone would be
able to post as GL has better uses of his time.

The

work at mine but visa requires an employee to come over and assist you

very interested in hearing the answer to this.
As far as I know there is no way to cash out, not lose any value, and be anon.
Some
ideas though. Some gas stations or convenience stores will give
you cash back but in my experience it is essentially random. Though
looking for small ones is your best bet. Usually you can only get 20 per
trip too and a lot of owners would feel uneasy with you doing it from a
gift card multiple times.
Another option would be to go
to walmart or best buy and buy something. Wait a few days and
return it and get a walmart/best buy giftcard. They fetch 92% and
90% on giftcard sites respectively. This sucks though because it
is such a time consuming process between buying, returning, sending gift
card in, and waiting for a check. I'll admit I've never done this
because of this reason.
The best/fastest way if you don't give a
shit about anonymity is buy a square reader or some similar product and
run them through it. Now you'll only lose ~2% and have the money
in your bank account the next day. Though I've read square may
shut your account down for only using gift cards as people abuse it with
credit cards to earn their spending bonus'.
A spin on
this would be to have someone you know do it for you. Pay them a
premium and if anyone ever came a knocking they could say they bought
them on craigslist. This covers all basis but there is still the
problem of square shutting down your account eventually. I did do
this method with this spin on it for a while but once I read that I
promptly stopped. I should probably look into other payment
options like square to see if any wont shut you down.
Though
perhaps the best option you'll stumble across is just buying things for
people. I have taken to telling my friends if they are ever going
to buy something for over 100 bucks contact me and I'll give them 10%
off(or whatever) and I'll deliver it to them. This way you are
staying anon (except being on camera), not losing too much value, and of
course getting cash fast.
Hope this helped.

Absolute
idiot. He recommends that if they can people take 1k worth of cards
from ONE store? Expect these card coupons to last one more month. Kids
like this are why coupons end up on the CIC list so fast.
Hate to say it but there should be some kind of screening process before GL allows new customers. Just my $.02

My first post!
I just got GL's product last week and have been having a blast.
They
work awesome! I know everyone is obsessed with the GC's. I
am mostly excited for the other things you can get, like FOOD.
Having a big family, GL's product is fantastic. How
fantastic? Last night, we tag teamed it at two Big Reds. I
brought cash, dressed nice and always made friendly chit chat with the
cashier.
How did I do? Take a look below. We
bought over $135 worth of food for about $11! What!!!!
That's like having a $125 GC!!! The receipt is below (it has been

Who is this vendor who sold us the Lotus Forums? I would like to get
in touch with them and ask what the deal is. At this point, reputation
be damned, this is a scam.

Everyone calm down. I had contacted him last night... it's no big
deal, just an over zealous fan who made a foolish mistake on the
clearnet. No more and no less... if the day ever came where the line was
crossed (or was continued to be crossed) then I'll let it be
known there is an issue. For now consider it resolved and that thread as
being dead.
The day might come when I do need people in an
uproar. I appreciate the fuck out of how you guys would even if I said
nothing... You are an amazing group, but I'm trying to handle this on
the back in so it goes away quietly and we don't see repeats of the past
(Oh shit Team Lotus undefeated!!! Just saying....)
I am dealing
with this issue privately... Turkey, our community has one of the very
best reputations on SR with no doubt, that reputation also was built in
times of crisis when we stuck together and completely over ran any
obstacle we faced. One thing that is correct, ain't nobody fucking with
us.

So I got a funny story that happened a few days ago.
My buddy
and I were at Walmart doing some shopping, he gets hungry and we have
some of the Free McDonald's coupons, so he goes to the one they have
inside Walmart and orders his meal and gives the coupon, the cashier
right away says we do not take those. My friend gets pissed and asks for
the manager, there is no manager. He asks to talk to someone, so the
cashier gives him the phone number of the owner. He calls right there
and then and talks to the owner telling her that he owns McD stock and
this is the worst service ever. The owner asks to talk to the cashier
and tells him to take the coupon. LOL. Here is the crazy part, about 3
hours later my friend gets a voice mail from the owner saying that they
received an email that there are fake coupons going around and this was
one of them and to give her a call back and tell her where he got
it because they are trying to prevent this from happening etc etc. We
were LOL all day. Of course this was a burner phone we got with a coupon
as well ;)

On
another note, I remember reading but couldn't find the coupons caps at
specific stores( if any at all) before approvals are needed. Looking to
rip into OC2 this weekend and some more info would be helpful. All I

Any insight would be great about coupons caps if any at any store
Big savings this weekend everyone! Even more when paid with gift cards :D

Nice haul!
So
when you go in for a big savings run like you did here, do you just
hand over all your coupons and the attendant scans them all with no kind
of approval intervention from a supervisor? Looking to make a big haul
and want to know if those kind of savings go unmolested. Wasn't sure if
there was any kind of coupon savings cap.
-
@Zapdosss - Ole' Sparky requires intervention for any amount of
savings over $50. (Hence the $49.99 game we play) Bullseye has no limit.

If anyone knows the method that guy was using to change gc to btc it would be greatly appreciated. PM if you like!

can you clarify?

Looks like I've missed out on quite a bit. Life calling has kept me quite busy.

My first GC success story! (except it isn’t even my story!!)
My
wife has become much more interested in these coupons since I’ve come
home with all kinds of wonderful gifts for her. Plus, she likes to
hear about how I pass out diaper/similac coupons (it’s a win-win,
everyone feels good and I get to see mommy boobs). Anyway, today
she was going to make a quick run to the pharmacy with 4 or 5 OC coupons
just to get her feet wet.
2 hours later she returns with a
trunk full of bags from WM. As we are unpacking she says “oh
yeah, I got this” and she hands me a $50 MC! She goes on to say
that I had left an envelope with a bunch of coupons in the car and one
of them was a MC coupon so she thought, why not? That’s right, on
her FIRST trip out, she scores a GC! The cashier was a much older
gentleman, didn’t give ANY of the coupons a second glance. All of the
stores in my region seem to carry the same type of card so she
“accidently” had the right coupon.
At first I was
jealous because I did all this research and planning and she goes out
and effortlessly executes a flawless performance. But then she
gave me the card and wants me to go buy myself something pretty. I
feel much better now.

totally FU blood sugar levels. I know I'll take a karma hit for this,
but American kids eat too much candy, IMNSHO.

Greetings
fellow coupon warriors. Quick trip to Wallie World $280 nah
$50 Quick question anyone know where the shredded cheese and
simply juice coupons went to, I'm sure they're in one of
these folders just can't find them hehe. Lotus I'm in for the OC2
as soon as I can change some rupees into pesos and then into
bitcoins. ;)
Buy them all, buy them right now. NO now, what are you waiting for? This is life changing shit people.
Long LIVE the LOTUS!!!!
peace,

Busted out some +1's to the usual suspects on the last page
Nice haul!
So
when you go in for a big savings run like you did here, do you just
hand over all your coupons and the attendant scans them all with no kind
of approval intervention from a supervisor? Looking to make a big haul
and want to know if those kind of savings go unmolested. Wasn't sure if
there was any kind of coupon savings cap.
Yeah Zapdosss,
As
Turkey said $50 is the cap so you have to get CSM to turn the
key. But yeah hand the stack of coupons to the cashier they scan
them all, having to override quite a few and then at the end the CSM
turns the magic key. No muss no fuss no problems. Only
problem I had was the cashier really wanted to know the websites I'm
using to get the coupons, just said I can't remember lol.

@TFB your candy count is much, much higher than mine, but the little
kiddies are going to love my house this year when they come by! and
Gidyean, couldnt agree with you more on the mommy boobs, i help out some
people i work with that have youngn's and they appreciate it quite a
bit

hours later she returns with a trunk full of bags from WM. As we
are unpacking she says “oh yeah, I got this” and she hands me a $50
MC! She goes on to say that I had left an envelope with a bunch of
coupons in the car and one of them was a MC coupon so she thought, why
not? That’s right, on her FIRST trip out, she scores a GC!
The cashier was a much older gentleman, didn’t give ANY of the coupons a
second glance. All of the stores in my region seem to carry the same
type of card so she “accidently” had the right coupon.
That's
awesome! I am super curious about what kind of MC it was.
Was it a Vanilla? Would you be so kind as to PM or post the UPC on
package? Thanks in advance!
-
The
count is up to 374. That is 374 full size candy bars stocked for the
kiddies on Halloween. Is anyone else on board with this project? I
thought it was a great idea, but I haven't seen much support around
here.
I'm about to do a Willy Wonka haul this weekend..do not worry!
Hey
Turkey, when I was using the Pillsbury Cinnamon roll coupon from OC1, I
had to get it approved(using SC)..idk if I picked up the wrong Cinnamon
roll but I could not find one that matched the coupons MFID...Most if
not ALL had 181590. Not sure if it was a limited stock at the store.
This applies to some HP Paper from OC2..purchased the only HP Paper I
could find which is just multipurpose paper(the one actually pictured in
the coupon, 7 64025 93000 0)..does this coupon work on all HP Papers
including photo paper?(which it of course says on the coupon, jw).
My Bestest
-
I always check the UPC. If we find an incorrect UPC, where should we submit the correct code for the next update?
-
You are always welcome to message me about anything you feel would
enhance the collections. However keep in mind that some manufacturer's
will use different UPC #s for things like different sizes, different
brands, etc... Like Heinz ketchup for example uses a different UPC for
each size bottle.
I do make mistakes and when I find out about
them, I fix them, but I can't possibly handle every message that
requests a special UPC code for something. I keep up with the most
common UPCs used and sometimes offer multiple UPCs for the same product
in order to have working coupons for everyone but I don't spend any
special time making a change that will only effect one person. If
someone has a special item that they must have in their lineup and for
whatever reason the UPC released is not the same you found for a
particular item, or if you want items not covered then you should
consider buying my Lessons package where I'm paid to answer questions
geared towards the individual. Otherwise my work is geared towards what
works for the most people and what is most commonly found across the US.

lotus ur awrsome, thanks for saving our family thousands
will be picking up oc2 soon
-
IIRC the HP paper is set up to work no matter what the Manufacturer
ID says. I just double checked it. It should work regardless of the
Manufacturer ID.
-
Thanks Lotus,
I definitely will be getting the lessons
soon. I plan on getting most if not all your collection
first. Then I will move on to the big leagues.

Damn..
way to set the bar ;) I want to put out a box at a time with no
supervision but a hidden CC camera and just watch it and reload
and watch them go nuts
is the HP paper in OC2 is also set to be accepted regardless?
-
Anyone have any tips when it comes to the tedious and long task of
looking thru all the different sets of coupons to find what I want for
that day and then formatting them & printing? This is easily the
hardest aspect of this whole thing we got here lol.

Right on the money, purchased some HP High Glossy Photo Paper with the coupon.(Expensive shit! Almost $20)
I'm
looking to print out higher priced coupons on this glossy paper to
bring more legitimacy to them, but I'm bummed out that the papers have
the HP watermark all over the back...
Any other paper coupons I'm looking over? Already have enough ink :)

What's
up guys. I haven't been on recently due to my computer problems, and
well.. let's face it GTA5 is the shit and I can't get enough of it. :P
Anyways I have access back to my computer which means I have full access to my PGP keys again.
I'm also working on my next batch of submissions to the lotto. So everybody be ready for that.
And T4B hope the above answers your question. :P
It
worked, but I ran into a few problems at three or so Walmarts, but I
didn't see an actual pattern. Just randomly didn't work. I did however
go to Walmart fairly late (8PM) and electronics was closing their
register so they gave it to me to go up front, so I used the self
checkout. Was much easier using it at the SC than at the regular
register.
I am currently in the process of downloading the rest of the OC2 zips, so I can't wait to see what's inside these damn things.
-
I
have had this happen by accident with small items, but it could earn
you some plausible deniability. Take your cards and put them in a cart,
down under the child seat and standing up so they blend with the wire
frame kind of. Then do a regular shopping trip. When you check out
neglect to put them on the conveyor or up to be scanned. If they get
noticed, say you decided not to get them.. If they go unnoticed, which
they should, push your cart out and toss them in your car...
Just did this the other day. Works great.

GTA V is most definitely the shit, and I wouldn't mind some more copies for my amigos :)
Went
through smoothly for the most part? Didn't get any assistance needed
when using the game at SC? ($40 off right) I don't think I'll be as
lucky to get the chance to take it to SC, so it's good to hear it went
well for you.

If
all your files are organized in folders in one main "coupon" folder,
the operating system search feature should be able to help you. If you
saw what I did earlier this week, the entire OC collection has been
fixed for formatting on all the file names. If you download the most
current collection. Simply typing in the brand name or the item you are
looking for into the search bar should pop up your item or a very short
list of items for you to look at. I hope this helps. If you or anyone
else has any good suggestions like this let me know so I can consider
them and possibly implement them!

@T4B #200

@Jacob - Welcome back! I feared the worst.
@Kaleb - Thank you! I didn't even see it coming.

Me too, luckily he just had his ass kicked on GTA V not RL ;)
Now where are all the other M.I.As?

It
was a man in his twenties. He came over when I was scanning the game
(and another item) and told me to come pick it up after I was done
paying because it was in one of those security boxes. I scanned the
coupon and paid before he even got back to his computer, so maybe I got
lucky.
-
@Jacob - Welcome back! I feared the worst.
Just
been a bit sidetracked with the game and computer problems. I'm back
now. That is until I start playing again. Shit I can down a pack of
monster while playing before realizing I haven't gotten off my ass for
12 hours.

Completely
agree. Take full advantage of the search function. On Mac I have my
coupons in folders related to each pack (OC, NF, AC, HC, etc.) all in
one folder (coupons). Mac will search all subfolders, so if I'm looking
for the cliff bar coupon and I don't remember if it's in the lotto or OC
I can find it easily.
I'm not sure about Winblows and Linux on this one, but if you've got a Mac take FULL advantage of the search function.
Also
in the guide (look in my signature) I put that you should organize your
coupons this way. I did this based on my experiences, but if it's
easier for somebody else you can add a note (example: NOTE; on windows
it's easier if you...). Also I just installed Microsoft Office on my
Windows and Mac machine so tutorials to come on printing with this
program on both OSes.
Damn and I gotta get to work on this long
ass (ever expanding) list of coupons to make. Fuck not having a computer
for a week really slows me down.

thru all the different sets of coupons to find what I want for that day
and then formatting them & printing? This is easily the hardest
aspect of this whole thing we got here lol.
Since
I print all of these coupon through MS word, I simply catogorize
my coupons according to their use and save them in the appropriate word
doc.
For example, I have separate docs for:
*Food coupons
*Household coupons
*Staples
(milk, bread, eggs etc) Things I have to buy often. I will
even copy/paste 4 of the same coupon to a page, like milk, so that I
have a stack of them always on hand.
*GC's 7 series
*GC's 9 series
etc etc.... come up with your own catagories
From
there I just scroll through each doc, remove the ones I don't need and
print. Close document WITHOUT saving so you can repeat this the
next time when you go shopping. So I use them as a visual shopping list
checklist. I never have to search for anything. Just delete,
print, and DON'T save doc.
I find it easier to see and scroll through them before I go shopping.

Really
good idea, but the only problem I have with it is I'm very conservative
(and possibly OCD) and if there's less than 3 coupons on a page I freak
out (...okay definitely OCD), so this wouldn't work for me.
But I like the initiative to find your own way of categorizing and organizing.

the fact that windows is infinitely more functional and a pc costs less

Well let's not go all Mac vs. Windows on GL's topic.
I've got two macs, one Windows box, two linux boxes. I just PREFER my Macs to the other two.

any word about the other forum, or was that declared a dead venture?
finally passed the 100 candy bar mark, Halloween is going to be great

The other forum did not work out. For now it is a dead issue. Keep
up with the candy bar counts. I want to hear from as many people as
possible that the Lotus team has done something good for the kids this
holiday!

So decided to make a quick run yesterday to well basically waste
some time and get a head start on the weekend. Also have a new
Wally Mart that just installed some shiny new SC's and figured I would
take a run........ so here I am a grown man pushing a grocery cart on a
Friday night mind you with a stack of coupons....... :o -
picked up, EAS, Bustello, Atkins, SoftSoap, K-Cups and was heading to
the frozen food isle when I see two gentlemen giving me the once over -
now ask anyone and they will tell you I over think everything ..... so
immediately flashes of orange jump suites and Conjugal visits flood my
already speeding brain.... lol - Come to find out these nice
gentlemen "thought they knew me from someone" haha - still thinking this
is a set up... but apparently Jehovahs Witnesses are taking to the
isles of WallyMart as well - Hey times are tough for all I guess..... ( I
shit you not they want me to visit their local establishment - no
thanks gentlemen unless you take coupons Ill be busy on Sunday......)
Anyway
the SC worked great as usual..... then headed to my other
favorite location and basically did the same.....with the addition of
cereal, milk and a few self generated ones... cutting coupons now from
the OC 2 for tomorrow and Sunday and organizing a route .......... luv
you guys..... :'(

But I like the initiative to find your own way of categorizing and organizing.
This can work for you....
I'm cheap, so I like to get 4 coupons per page.
This is how I do it.
1.
Adjust the top and bottom margins so that you maximize the printer
capability. Set side margins to 1.25 inches (coupons will resize
auto to 6 inches)
2. Use the "insert" picture function. Do not
drag and paste to document, it cause weird things to happen. Just
use the insert function. Coupons will auto resize to 6 inches
wide.
3. Rotate coupons that are vertically shaped so that
they lay horizontally. You will have to manually resize them to
2.5 inches high. Do not adjust width! They will look
distorted and may not scan.
2. Adjust the paragraph spacing around 5pts so that you only have to make one cut between coupons.
3.
Adjust the height of the coupon so that 4 will fit to a page.
Somewhere around 2.5inches (adjust up or down according to your printer.
Width should be about 6". {I admit, some lower end inkjets may only be
able to print 3 to a page due to margin restriction}
4. Get a good rotary paper trimmer.
5. Cut away.
6. Save money.

Thanks for the tips on printing dimensions! That should make the process a bit smoother in the future.
@Zapdosss:
From what I've seen, Canon's photo paper is blank on the back (in case
you or anyone else want to pursue the glossy look). I have a pack of
'Photo Paper Plus Glossy II' and it's definitely blank.
I think I might experiment with this a bit for some of the non-internet based NF's.
I'm looking forward to picking up the OC2 soon before Halloween so I can help spread the diabetis.

I noticed some mention of riseup.net invites a few pages back. If any
of you'd be so kind to hook me up with an couple invites I'd appreciate
it. :)

I finally made it the big boy forum!! A huge thank you to
Lotus and T4B for all the hard work you have put into saving family's a
shit ton of money. We learned a lot from this forum and I hope to
contribute my share as well. The best advice was to start out
small and learn the system. I now feel comfortable enough to walk
in there and go over the $50 WM limit... Just turn the key Mr.
Manager!! The biggest rush is getting the 49.99 MC GC and walking
out like you own the place.

Call
me paranoid... but I'm not sure that riseup.net is the safest thing
going. Number one thing I can think of is that riseup.net is a
registered Non-Profit with the US gov. It's spelled out on
their site. Call me paranoid, but anything registered with the US
government does not sound safe to me. I could be wrong or maybe
just paranoid. With all the recent revelations, that Our
Beloved Government, has it's fingers in everything, I'd stick with
something offshore, like bitmessage. Bitmessage has an .onion
domain. I'd post it here but I'm not sure what the rules are
regarding posting links (I know, no clearnet links for sure.) and
use PGP, always for uber-secure communications.
I find it fishy
that they need "Invite" codes to get an account. Why? So that
accounts can be ultimately linked? Better to write some BS
about what your mission in life is, like "Promoting the consumption of
Vegetarians as an alternate protein source to save Mother Earth"
Then just wait for your account be approved. Call me
paranoid. Get two accounts like this and you can invite yourself
over and over again.
I think bitmessage is simpler. Nothing
is out of the grasp of our Beloved Government. Just try and stay a
little beyond Her Loving Grasp for a little while longer. Call me
paranoid.
I have to go, the coupons are calling me, "Take Me Shopping>>>"

Heyyy
good looking out. I'll have to pick some of that Canon Glossy for sure.
I already took a stab and used the HP Glossy Paper to print out a
pretty high value coupon yesterday and I don't get any second
looks...all I got was the turn of the key... :)
There isn't a coupon for Canon paper right?..or am I wrong? I have all the packs right now except the Lottery.

ones without SC carry the MC 50. I found that odd. So I just
borrow them for one store and take to another. Works every time. I
like others have had issues with the visa and amex. All the visa i
have tried require CSR intervention, and the amex scan, the coupon
scans and beeps but doesn't take off the amount. But i have
learned to never give it. Its a number game.

only thing is that the one walmart that does carry MC's never restocks
em...so it's just a waiting period. we can get AMEX all day everyday but
AMEX kinda...well it does suck. I can't use it through Virwox nor at
Western Union so....
what I would really wanna do is turn these
GC's into BTC, which is damn near impossible with amex cards. They do
save me mad money. About to go hit the record store again and grab a
hundred bucks worth of albums! My friend made a good point the other
day...that by doing this we are sneaking money away from big
corporations like american express and refunneling it into business's
that deserve it, like independantly run record stores!

Yes. Yes!

I had an odd situation at Trget today. The coupons for Viva
and Tide rang up on the cashier’s screen as “not a valid coupon” or
something close to that, and “contact manufacturer” and the screen was
all lit up all in red. The cashier said he had never seen anything
like it, the coupons scanned, but they came up as invalid. I just
had him pull the items and moved on. Paid $40 on a $90
trip.
I have used the Viva and Tide coupons multiple times. Hopefully this was just an aberration…those coupons are huge for me.

Anyone interested in the Halloween mission will want to get the
latest version of the OC2 Pack#3. I put a nice addition to that mission
in there for us.

-
@Gidyean - Verify you have the most current versions of those
coupons and always ask the cashier to scan the "big" bar code if
anything like that happens. If there is an issue with those we will
modify them to work again.

@ThwoosEwyi: I appreciate your advice and will take it. :)
Heyyy
good looking out. I'll have to pick some of that Canon Glossy for sure.
I already took a stab and used the HP Glossy Paper to print out a
pretty high value coupon yesterday and I don't get any second
looks...all I got was the turn of the key... :)
There isn't a coupon for Canon paper right?..or am I wrong? I have all the packs right now except the Lottery.
If there is one I'm not aware of it, but I don't own the lottery yet either.

Whats the consensus on how long to hold the GCs? A friend of mine
has been going a lil overboard and is losing track of them and
where/when they got them; how much is left on them etc.. and I was
getting alarmed. Basically told them I am putting a stop to it lol. No
more unl access to these coupons for them.

I
finally made it the big boy forum!! A huge thank you to Lotus and
T4B for all the hard work you have put into saving family's a shit ton
of money. We learned a lot from this forum and I hope to
contribute my share as well. The best advice was to start out
small and learn the system. I now feel comfortable enough to walk
in there and go over the $50 WM limit... Just turn the key Mr.
Manager!! The biggest rush is getting the 49.99 MC GC and walking
out like you own the place.
yeah. it's almost like the rush of snagging the GC's is just as awesome as the actual GC's themselves.....
ALMOST.
My
WM doesn't carry MC's nor do the Visa one's work so I am stuck using
AMEX ones....every now and again I'll find a MC GC at another WM but
they are few and far between....
kinda stinks considering I can't really turn AMEX ones into BTC
Can anybody please tell me how to convert gc into btc?
I would love you forever.

Sell them on Craigslist, use somebody on localbits to buy bitcoins for cash.
Don't take this as what you should do, research the risk.

Question to you veterans who have been doing gc. I have gotten
about 12 gc in the past month from 3 wm. I ventured out and tried
2 new ones today and they both didn't work. I tried the mc at
both but the coupon wouldn't scan. No error. No
message. I just kep scanning and it just kept saying "scan your
coupon." Everytime I would scan the coupon I would hear a beep but
it wouldn't scan. No message at all. I then took the same
coupon that wouldn't scan at the new walmarts and it worked at one of my
normal walmarts.
My question is have any of you experienced
this? I have heard of some of you having errors and such but
haven't heard of anybody get no error while trying to scan.
-
Today i tried with a boosted MC $50 gf 76750 at walmart box SC. (new
systems) I received a message "This item is not recognized" I
will try on Sunday at another location 30 minutes away.

Have been having mixed results with sc gc. Went to one WM that it
had worked at, went again with same GC same coupon and it didn't work.
It was in the same bank of self checkout machines. Anyone experience
this? Anyone try funding Virwox with gcs?
Also on an another
note, how have you all gotten along with any of the newer electronics
and stuff on the NF and OC2. I know I wana get that GTA 5, Xbox, Wii,
and Sound Bar (Whatever that is). But they are all in the cages. Any
notes?
-
Alright I better get some damn +1's from this.(how am I
negative?) I have devised a way to get 100% cash back from
gc. Well I didn't devise it I just discovered it.
If you want other ways please see my previous post.
Anyways,
it's very simple. When you go to buy something simply choose
debit and enter a pin. You can literally enter any pin. Then
get cash back of 40 bucks.
Seems simple right? Well it's
fucking not. See the problem is you are not supposed to be able to
do this. Visa/Amex/MC make big bucks off people not spending
these things. In fact they make it very hard to turn them into
cash because they want them to sit in your drawer for eternity. So
how can you make it work?
Well first off it's never going to
work at a big store. In fact it won't work nearly anywhere except
some gas stations and convenience stores. But you only need one
store right? So how can you tell if it's going to work.
First, look at the pay terminal. You need the veriphone pay
terminal. It looks like this
***********CLEARNET***********
http://www.datamaxsys.com/images/Verifone_PINpad-1000-SE.jpg
***********Clearnet**************
Notice,
it only has the keypad not the place to swipe the card. I believe
this to be the only POS that will allow cash back from a gift
card. You will find one though.
Now here is an interesting
thing. While he are driving around looking for gas stations I
would recommend always trying to get cash back even if you don't see
that system. I'm not the end all be all of information and I'm
sure this varies from region. Also take into account I'm working
with an extremely small sample size. Anyways, the reason I say try
is because when it gets rejected I always ask a simple question.
"Excuse
me sir/mam I'm really in a pinch I need cash to pay XXXXX and all I
have is this gift card(s) my grandma gave me. Would you mind
charging me 50 bucks and then refunding me $50 cash, it would help me
out a lot"
More often than not they will do it. This is the real moneymaker.
Remember
people knowledge is fucking power. If you only lurk these forums
please post. Share experiences negative or positive. I'm
sure we would love to hear them. We all have been given a lot from
this community and it's only right to try to give back something.
Thanks to the elite who came before me.
Remember people, stay smart, and free.

I've
had that error before at a store. I just stay away from that one
specific terminal now. So no you are not alone. I can't
imagine what causes this but it does happen.
I looked into
virwox and what immediately turned me away was the fact that the fee's
will get you. By the time you convert 50 into btc you will have 33
dollars worth of btc only on top of that you still have to turn the btc
into cash. Well I guess not if that isn't your end goal. I
talked to another member and he says he can't even get it to accept his
payment. Plus you can't do it from TOR so there is that hassle.

Today
i tried with a boosted MC $50 gf 76750 at walmart box SC. (new
systems) I received a message "This item is not recognized" I will
try on Sunday at another location 30 minutes away.
Well this brings up an interesting topic.
I've
been doing some GC stalking in my area and on the web. There are
many stores other than WM and T that carry GC's. But since
everyone agrees that WM SC is the best way to go, what series does WM
use for GC's in your area?
In my area (I've checked out a
bunch) they are exclusively 9 series. Now it's interesting that pretty
much all of the WM's in my area have very few GC's on the racks and
almost no MC,V or AMX. Not that they are missing, or that
you guys have used them all up, there just isn't a spot for them on the
rack. Sometimes, I find one WM store in 10 that has some prepaid
GC's.
The GC's that are on the rack at WM, pretty much suck, unless you like pedicures or Starbucks.
Now
if you go stalking WM on their website, you'll see that they offer tons
of CG's that they will deliver to you, or you can search to find a
store nearby that has one. What is interesting about this is that
on some GC's like V, MC or AMX, if you click on the link, it will give
you a UPC code to bring to the store, so that the WM folks can find the
card for you. These web UPC's are exclusively 7 series.
T is
the same...9 series, very few choices....but alas they do have 9 series V
and AMX CG's, store branded with a Christmas theme. But no SC's
at T. I may just try and push one through on my next run.
I have scoured my area for other stores that carry the coveted 9 series GC's that can be used at SC at WM.
I
can't reveal what I have found. Why? I have noticed that some
people rape and pillage GC's (and coupons too) and ruin it for other's,
but most importantly they ruin it for their own future. Remember
the story of the "Goose that laid the Golden Eggs." What did the
farmer do when he just wasn't satisfied with one golden egg per day?
That's why our benefactor's name is GOLDENLotus. He has given us the golden goose. Respect the goose.
Thanks Golden!

Hey
HEATFan, haven't seen you in a while. Glad to see you're getting back
into the couponing. Why in the world would you ever take a break?
-
Still not having much success with the GC's at our local WM's - have
yet to try the T's for the MC - really only have fairly good success
with the retail GC's at the smaller DS's - - but I like most of you
folks here are determined son's of bitches and will keep trying.... :)
Of
course with the OC2 and OC1 having no issue's! Checking the
Sunday paper to see what sales are on and then printing out the matching
one from the collections. Had pretty much all weekend to myself
so decided to go out alone - something to be said for playing dumb at
the register - everyone went out of their way to help me with these
coupons that "my wife gave me to use" lol - especially the 30
something man at T who obviously sympathized with my dilemma. LMAO
Ended up spending $24.00 cash for $271.38 in products......
gotta love the 95% savings..... no that's an extreme coupon-er.
Speaking of my girl actually had a couple of hours in between work
and a meeting to waste and what better way then to pick up a few items
at your local retailer.... of course no problems she isn't nearly as
organized as I am so all I got was she saved $58.00 - lol -
the story however comes from what happened just prior to her ringing
up. We all have some small habits that can easily be identified
even if we think we are slick.... and she said she could tell
immediately - the customer in front of her has a hand basket full
of OTC allergy medicine and razors exclusively! HAHA - large
dollar amount products and multiples of probably 10 to 15 of each
- as she is observing but still keeping a distance in order not to
give the appearance of spying "women are really good at this" lol
- he immediately upon stepping up to his turn to engage the CS rep in
conversation - how busy are you? who long have you worked here? hope you
get to enjoy the nice weather? etc etc. typical distraction
conversation - so she is paying extra attention now because she has
already detected "fraudulent activity ahead".
TOTAL
TRANSACTION: $175.00 - next out of his pocket comes a stack full
of coupons that he claims "his mom who is an extreme coupon-er gave him
to use" Ok no problem as she begins to scan each coupon and he is
steady engaging in the art of distraction conversation - comes to the
razor coupon - not a valid coupon - mind you everything already bagged
up.....and he nicely asks her to remove these since the coupon isn't
working he doesn't think his mom will want them... LOL
Anyway
she said he ended paying about $30.00 and saved well over the $120.00
mark..... she said she wished we had a special bird call or something of
the like to identify each other as a fellow GL follower...... LOL .....
she said they were all color and didn't appear to be home printed but
who knows..... :o
She did think about turning around but
figured her small in comparison stack would be a cake walk so proceeded
on..... she figured he had already warmed her up.

I
did the same thing in an area I know I won't go back. Sorry if anybody
lives in that area, but I burned out about 5 Walmarts that week.
-
I hit eight Wallies w/ SC this weekend and got $450 in GC. Yee-Ha!
The
MC coupon has worked flawlessly, with only balky scanners giving any
real problems. I didn't have to get a human's approval anywhere this
weekend.
I've started picking up an extra blank GC at the
well-stocked Wallies, to save myself from wasted dry runs at subsequent
stores. I just kind of palm the GC by the edges, making it hard to see
that I'm holding multiple cards. I just scan one, holding the other
against it while checking out, like I'm only holding one card.
An
important added benefit of always having a blank GC ready when I walk
in a store is that ***I don't have to check several GC displays to find
what I want.*** Now if there's nothing on the second GC display I check,
I just head for the SC and pull out a blank GC. I'm now basically
invisible to Asset Protection, as it takes me about 45-60 seconds to get
from the front door to the SC checkout line.
BTW, don't you LOVE
those @ssholes that go through SC w/ 30-50+ items? You KNOW AP is
watching them intently for every item they check out. Go through SC at
the same time as one of those loons, and you can easily do a couple of
quick transactions and never be noticed.
Rock On and Long Live the Lotus!

MC GC just keep rolling in..lost count..
I'm guessing the WM I went to had a whack POS that didn't want to take my pizza coupon...still bought it with a GC though!
And thanks Turkey! I'm sure the kiddies didn't just hand fulls of chocolate lol. Those coupons do work flawlessly!

I just remember when I was young. I never personally saw a home
giving out full size candies. Even in my adult life I have never seen
it. But I know I used to hear about it. It was always rumored that all
the 'rich' kids and the 'rich' neighborhoods have a few houses that give
out full size candy bars. This year, that is happening here. Thinking
about it rationally, those rumors were no doubt true. It just never
happened in my ghetto. This year that changes.

I wanted to give my first field report ;)
Went to Wallies and Target this Sunday with my girlfriend and best friend.
We brought a huge stack of coupons, and raped the shit out of both stores lol
My friend brought his $220 bill at Target to $36.
I ran into a few snags though that hopefully someone can answer for me.
1.
CSM approval was required for our Walmart purchase, the cashier said
the message was something along the lines of " Coupon $ exceeded
requires CSM approval" . She also said she had never seen the
message before. I know Walmart SC requires CSM approval over $50
does regular checkout as well? I was in the 20 items or less line,
maybe that had something to do with it. ( The CSM did approve all
three of our purchases without a second glance at the coupons)
2.
The Gatorade would not go through at Target and the Sun chips would not
go through at a local grocery store, has anyone else had any issues
with either of those?
Besides those minor snags we made off with a killing!
Another successful Sunday thanks to GL! ;D
-
The Sun Chips wouldn't work for me yesterday at Tarjay. The
message said Invalid Coupon, Contact Manufacturer. I've used that
coupon quite a few times already, maybe it's burned.
-
@bready - Yes, Walmart requires CSM approval on any savings over $50 on any register at any time.
@ilikenyquil & bready - Yes it sounds like SunChips and Gatorade might be flagged. We will look into getting them fixed.
@everyone - I love you all.
-
i think some wally policy has changed, policy in our area now is csm
approval required on any coupon 20 or above. Also i think they have
started some type of cross reference because certain coupons will not
work at any wally worlds in my region, they will show up as "expired"
and some give fits even when they try to hand enter them in. Also new
message coming up coupon threshold limit exceeded, this is now showing
up around 30 dollars. i am to the point i don't want to social engineer
so when a coupon is burned, i don't use it any more. Kroger and some of
the others have started cross checking with a 3 ltr site and a specific
coupon after being listed on that site will indicate as "fraud" at
krogey on the clerks register. Keep up the good work lotus
-
I may have gotten lucky on the Sun Chips and Gatorade. I
went to big blue and had no problems with them on Saturday.
Also i have found the SC is the way to go if you have 1-10 coupon items
your looking to get. As long as the coupon value is under the
product price it should scan with no problems and need no CS
intervention....At least that has been my experience.
It seems that at big blue if the coupon value is over the product price
it requires the cashier to confirm that that is the correct coupon
value. But that's just a small inconvenience for the awesome
savings!
p.s. I love when the cashier is done scanning my coups
and they look at you and say "WOW, those are some really good
coupons"!!!!
Thanks GL. Keep up the good work. We can never really tell you how grateful we are.

Hey
HEATFan! The family here is doing great and it's awesome to hear from
you! I understand coupon breaks... I get to the point that I'm so well
stocked on all the items that I use that I can go months at a time
without making a trip, except small ones for food that won't store well.
I
also see you haven't been letting off the pedal any in your other
affairs. I don't follow closely but I still see you are on point and
fighting the good fight for the better good of all of SilkRoad. You're
an asset to this entire place and we love to see you dropping in here.
Hopefully you get sucked back in and come join us with some of the new
things we have going on. Just come talk to me in private.
Coupons:
The
coupon limits at Walmart are the same in Self Checkout and in the
line... so yes, you need to be prepared for that in your regular
trips... it's still a none issue with OC stuff, the CSM usually just
lets it slide and only one approval is needed, but it's something to be
aware of and maybe consider your HUGE trips for Target and KMart and the
likes, and use Walmart as a weapon to exploit the under $50 game in a
major way. It's all personal preference, but great to go in with all the
knowledge you can have. One local store I have won't accept an internet
printed coupon over $4.00 without a manager, so what I do is stack up
heavy on all my coupons that are $4.00 and less and just go rape them
with that. I modify my strategy based on what store I am going to and
how well I know their policies. Knowledge is power... and this is one of
the reasons we don't go around selling any collections openly without
people being a part of the OC experience first.

Has anyone had a problem with the Spring Valley coupons? I tried them at Walmart and they were rejected.
The
5-HTP worked NP, but the Spring valley did not match up, it could be
just Walley's but im not sure, anyone had a similar experience?
-
Another successful GC trip to WM. I've become a little too automated
in my routine and I must have dropped the coupon in the SC slot
prematurely because the system didn't sense it. It kept telling me to
insert coupon when I already had. Eventually the cashier came over to
sort it out. A moment later one of the attendants returned to their
kiosk and took a double take at their screen apparently and became a bit
alarmed. They started asking questions as I was waiting for the
receipt. "I've never seen such a coupon before, where did you get it?". I
responded politely by feeding them a line. They just stared with no
response before I smiled and continued on my way.
What concerns
me a bit is that it wasn't the friendly "damn! how do i get me one of
these?" tone I frequently get with other coupons. It was very much an
interogative tone. I thought for a second they were about to make scene.
It made me uncomfortable, although it was clear that they'd never seen
or heard of such a coupon before.
I hope I didn't burn that location for myself through that encounter...
I
think there was some underlying concern that I may not have genuinely
inserted the coupon to begin with, before being shocked by the nature of
the coupon itself. I dunno. Made me nervous and i guess I'm hoping
somebody can say "I've had encounters like that, don't sweat it. It'll
be fine."
On the other hand, it's refreshing to know that the coupon caught the SC attendant off guard the way it did.
I'm hoping they let the matter go after I left.
Moral of Story: chill out, don't get ahead of the SC's instructions or you might have a bad time.
BTW-
if anyone ever has the same problem where the GC doesn't sense the
coupon when you insterted it... just stick something like a dollar or
credit card into the coupon slot and then pull it back out (so that it
senses motion). That's what one of the attendants did. That entire
situation could have been averted if I'd known that.

So just browsed through the new OC2....Nice, very nice!!!
I
like where GL was heading with this one. Get you some
rubbers and lube and have a good time. If the unexpected occurs,
go get you some that Plan-B. And if all else fails, eat a candy
bar then go change those damn diapers!!
There is a lot of
good products in this collection. With the full size candy bar
packs, i have never seen these before. Are these stocked at your
local Big Blue or Bullseye? Or are these a Sam's or Costco
deal? Never seen them before, but it could have been I was never
looking. Man the looks on the kids faces when you hand those bad
boys out at Halloween will be priceless.

Has anyone had a problem with the Spring Valley coupons? I tried them at Walmart and they were rejected.
The
5-HTP worked NP, but the Spring valley did not match up, it could be
just Walley's but im not sure, anyone had a similar experience?
Spring
Valley changes the UPCs from product to product a good bit to where the
only way that works is if you are matching your Manufacture ID, which
is 37000 on many P&G products and 99366 on the majoroty of the gift
cards just for an example of which numbers those people know to match.
The 5-HTP works because it always has the same UPC everytime, but if you
grab a Spring Valley Fish Poil, you might find a different UPC all
together. This is just my first thought, but if this is the case then
it's one of those situations that adds value to the Lessons offered. A
lot of windows open when you can just custom make your coupons and then
cover all the stuff you normally depend on in your life and make them
for the exact amount off you want on the exact thing you want in a very
personally convincing way. The more precise the product you like is, the
better coupon you can make while I might make a coupon that says "$9.00
off any box of pampers" someone else could make a personal coupon that
said "$13.45 off Pampers Size 4, 96 Count" with the exact picture of
that product on the coupon...

Another
successful GC trip to WM. I've become a little too automated in my
routine and I must have dropped the coupon in the SC slot prematurely
because the system didn't sense it. It kept telling me to insert coupon
when I already had. Eventually the cashier came over to sort it out. A
moment later one of the attendants returned to their kiosk and took a
double take at their screen apparently and became a bit alarmed. They
started asking questions as I was waiting for the receipt. "I've never

by feeding them a line. They just stared with no response before I
smiled and continued on my way.

wasn't the friendly "damn! how do i get me one of these?" tone I
frequently get with other coupons. It was very much an interogative
tone. I thought for a second they were about to make scene. It made me
uncomfortable, although it was clear that they'd never seen or heard of
such a coupon before.

situation could have been averted if I'd known that.
Before
the self checkout thing became common I once had a cashier tell me it
was a fake coupon and she had to keep it. I just walked out but
nothing ever came of it. Just remember you got it from a survey
site or some guy handed it to you in the parking lot or your friend gave
it to you. Another thing you can say that helps when you are in
that weird limbo between them seeing you used a coupon and them oking it
or getting a manager is say "oh I just went through this last week they
called over the customer service lady and she said it was ok" I
would avoid that location for at least a month though. I always
wonder what happens or how far it goes when they scrutinize a
coupon. Do they just go on with their day? Tell a
manager? Does the manager tell anyone to lookout for them?
The
thing about the coupon slot is funny. I remember one time It
didn't read my coupon either and I reached in the trash and through a
receipt in there and it took it. This led me to think what if I
printed off decoy coupons so to speak. Like real manufacturers
coupons and threw them in there instead. Then there would never be
any suspicion aroused by whoever empties out the coupon trays seeing a
49.99 coupon. Though I don't know how closely they analyze the
total coupons scanned based on what they send in or whatever. Then
that may be a lot more alarming. I don't know which is worse
honestly, but at the same time I doubt it matters really.

Fuck
that noise!!! Keep the coupon, never ever give it to them, it's yours.
Another store might accept it. Would you hand over a $50 and let them
get away with the same shit?!?
Always be sure to watch the
coupon fall all the way into the slot. Make it a habit. I almost shit my
pants the first time it happened to me. Even thought about making a run
for it, but kept cool, kicked and cursed the machine, and watched as
the screen asked for the next coupon.

Is this the end for us? Everyone knows I'm the last person to call
it quits and throw in the towel. Everyone knows how important Christmas
2013 is to me and how much I wasn't going to let anything stop me... but
this might be it guys. Our era might be done.

Lotus is there any way we can contact you? Also can you post your pgp key please.

Why not move operations to BMR (address: 5onwnspjvuk7cwvk.onion )?
On
to better news! My wife continues to pillage WM for GCs! I
always thought I would be the GC-breadwinner in the family, but she's a
natural. The other day she had the wrong coupon (7 instead of 9)
and the cashier and manager were trying their best to get that coupon to
go through! Being a milf with these coupons just makes it to
easy!
-
i agree lotus move things over to bmr. its either there or sheep which i dont trust for some reason.
-
We will figure this out. Hold off on moving operations. Continue all communications encrypted.
-
What's wrong? Did I miss something
-
Please let me know where and if you move GL, I was really looking forward to the Christmas collection! :'(

Where
would you plan on moving to then? Personally, I'm surprised that
the forums are up still. How much longer do you suppose they stay
up? Until his forum bill isn't paid or is it on the same server as
Silk Road?
Any information is appreciated, thanks.
I
think we should take this time to figure out where this community is
going. Does Black Market Reloaded have a forum? If so, then
somebody should start a thread over there so we can regroup when/if?
this forum goes down.
-
What's wrong? Did I miss something
Oh
just found out... Bummer I just got the lifetime special too.. I hope
we can still keep going on I don't want to be a dick but I just was
getting started and to have it stop so soon would be shitty.
-
I am still here
-
What are we going to do now? Any idea on how we can all stay in touch?
-
wow, this sux hard
-
How long is "here" going to last? I would think this forum is
on shaky ground, no? One day we are going to come "here" and
"here" isn't going to be "here". I wouldn't mind having somewhere
else as a place we could bookmark in case that day comes.
Black Market Reloaded does have a Vendor discussion and feedback section.
-
Wow.... what a kick in the teeth. Had some crappy things happen in
my everyday life which required for me to work way more which in turn
cut into my free time and time I would spend here. That's why I haven't
been too active lately but as soon as I heard about this I came running
to see if it was true for myself. I am kind of heart broken.
I
have been with Lotus for over a year and a half and could not be more
satisfied. It is of course my wish to have SR back up and running with
GL back in business as usual. If for whatever reason SR has seen it's
final day, I hope that GL would find another venue to continue his
fantastic service. I would follow in a heartbeat. I do recall though,
the outage of last year and when the whole PL issue came about, that it
was said he would not take his services to BMR. It is his choice and we
could do nothing but respect it and thank him for everything he has so
generously shared with us while it lasted. So if a different site is out
of the question, I just want to give Lotus my sincerest thank you for
everything as well as everyone who has contributed to this amazing
community to really make it the awesomeness it has become.
I
understand it is a bit early in the game and it is never wise to make
assumptions, but we also don't know how much longer the forums will be
running for. So let's just sit tight and hope that there is a plan B in
place.
-
I have only been here for a short period of time and I am saddened
to hear the news about SR. Lets face it, most of us knew this day
would come. I would like to thank everybody for the fantastic
tips. Most of all, thank you Lotus for sharing the coupon
collections with us. I hope there will be a way to continue
receiving coupon updates, and for GL to continue operations, but if not,
it has been a great run!
-
Are these coupons softcoded? If anything were to end, would I be able to photoshop the dates to keep them working?

No, the expiration date is coded into the barcode

Hey I started a thread over at Blackmarket reloaded forums just in case these forums fail:
http://fec33nz6mhzd54zj.onion/viewforum.php?id=9
subject: SR coupon harbour
Hopefully they won't take down the thread since it's SR related.
I
just put on there that this is a temporary thread until something
further is established....of course Jacob1234 could always post
something on GL's evil wiki page in case of a downage.
-
The End?? Never. They can set up road blocks. They can
intimidate us. They can.... THEY CAN GO FUK THEMSELVES!!!
The idea of SR is essential. It is a place where we can
come and be truly free. A place where we can come and the make
choices in our lives to be who we want to be.
We are
forever grateful for all the work GL and many others have contributed to
this community. I hope that we are able to keep this going.
Soooo, how many people are kicking themselves wishing
they had bought the lessons?!!! I know I am. Well when it gets
resurrected that's my first purchase.
Thanks again everyone. "IDEAS ARE BULLETPROOF"
-
@m3bimmer - I will not miss you.
-
But I get to keep my karma points, right?
/jk
I know. It is a godawful day and I'm a jackass for joking.
I
feel bad for all of the good people - and there are many - on SR who
lost so much money today. And the real tragedy is for DPR and any of the
vendors who will be facing significant legal problems.
I did not
notice the word 'coupon' mentioned at all in the criminal complaint.
Regardless, I know that GL is justifiably concerned about this
development and, basically, I may not get another chance to state this
in this forum:
Thank you, for the incredibly useful information
you have shared. Thank you, GL, and thank all of you who have done so
much here, to just help folks buy the essentials and make their lives
better. I am forever in your debt.
-
Holy hell I found out about SR news on PBS today, this is crazy. PL
if you do and I hope you do move to a different place I will follow. I
just hope to be able to get final answer from you and when and where.
FUCK I cant go back to paying full price

purplelotus@riseup.net is rumored to still be used by PurpleLotus.
I
will need some time to let things settle in my mind, let this heat die
down, and see where it stands, but in my mind this thing is a lot bigger
than I think some people are considering.
Every message you ever
sent on SilkRoad is logged and saved. When you delete it, or when it
expires... that doesn't mastter because SR kept ALL of it. I know this
to be a fact. So every word we ever said is now in the hands of the feds
most likely and I don't know if I can handle this kind of heat and keep
just pushing on where a case or attack against me could be much easier
to do. I never said anything too much. No addresses or names or
anything, but still I did A LOT of chatting, and if they ever
wanted to, I think they could find us (they found DPR, remember? Not to
say I would ever be that kind of target, but Target... and Walmart,
etc... all have lobbiests in Washington D.C., while using coupons is
harmless and we all feel what I do probably doesn't get any attention,
the risks are real and are there and all it would take would be for
someone to start giving a fuck that they are getting ripped off out of
millions and millions of dollars. Multi-Millions! Yes, the coupons are
hardcoded... this was done for our protection. Had it not been done, you
might not have gotten to see anything past the HC collection if someone
decided to rip me off and it was no longer worth me sticking around,
then it would have all died then. The hardcoding was to make sure I
could protect the coupons at least in some form. It created extra work
for me, but it was a price we paid.
Anyways, enough of that
talk, because I haven't officially said I quit... I'm just not rushing
to anything right this minute. I will try to establish us all a new way
to stay in touch, and worst case scenerio, maybe we do go over and chat
on BMR, but I'd prefer a different venue for now, even if we did end up
taking actual operations over there.
I had everything planned out
Heisenberg style to make sure all of my customers got exactly what they
paid for and that this thing kept rolling even if/when I had to
retire... Now this is a huge curve ball and I need to adjust. My
intentions always were to not only deliver on my promises, but go
further than anyone expected, but I think after awhile when people got
to know me, that's exactly what they expected.

Second
thoughts: I know this sounds crazy, but I had way more coins in my SR
accounts than I normally ever would. Between relocating and unexpected
life events leading to vacations, etc... I just let things fall behind
and couldn't keep up with everything and in that process let my coins
just stack around on SR.
I know probably most of us took a loss and I'm sure many, right here on this thread, more than I did...
But
I decided to setup an address for donations if anyone wants to help
fund whatever decision I make or what direction I go in. One thing
everyone knows is I'm not grabbing money and running with it. If
assistance is provided, it will be used for the purpose of restoring us
in some form. If enough is donated, I'll do one more round, pull out all
of the hardcoding and make everything good through 12/31/2014. If
enough funds are raised then I could even do versions all 4 months apart
to cover 2014. If I decide to stay in business, then that money will be
used to buy whatever vendor accounts, pay my server fees, get us some
kind of forum (which I did pay for and the vendor Walmart just feell
through on us... oh the irony... Walmart fucking us!)

Donation address: 1Ney4rP8HFDcHVQWz81KY3BLGGM8MngH43
I know
many of you lost a lot today too, but if anyone was being smarter than
me and has some coins they want to donate I will use this fund raiser as
a means of extending our operations. Whether it be to bond or pay into
another site, or whatever the case is. right now we just don't know
which direction we would take. I don't even know what a BMR vendor
account costs... but I do know I woke up with 0 BTC today, and that's my
fault for being so busy I wasn't even properly sending my money off SR.
Thanks,

Lotus
you are a legend to say the least. Though I have only been a fan
of yours for a short time it's because I've only known of you for a
short time. I was also a huge fan of the original "coupon guy" but
I guess that is extremely irrelevant. I love easy money at low
risk while sticking it to the corporations that destroyed this
country/website. I think we all would say we have that in
common. We'd be the first to steal from the greedy and the last to
steal from our fellow man.
But as far as business goes
you should consider updating the collections expiration dates and
reselling them through encrypted email only. I know it goes against the
original deal of a lifetime subscription or whatever but I think a lot
of people wouldn't mind repaying in these extenuating
circumstances. I know for one I wouldn't. This seems to
solve a lot of the problems you described above.
In any
manner it was an honor to stand by you guys on this little experiment we
had here called SR. Even more of an honor to stand by the coupon
community.
I read a post earlier that made me laugh and
put some perspective on the situation. It said something to the
effect of The day Napster went down I thought I wasn't going to be able
to download free music anymore. This will be my last post on these
forums hope everyone the best of luck especially lotus but I'm sure
you'll be fine, they have bigger fish to fry. If you think about
it logically as sloppy as dpr was and how long it took them to catch him
same with the "coupon guy" I have no doubt your freedom is no where
near at risk.
Also lotus could you post your pgp key.
Thanks for everything.

@GoldenLotus Please post your PGP public key.
On SR there was
a feature in the profile settings that you could enter a backup BC
wallet "Just in case something happens to SR". Did anybody notice
or make use of that feature?
I did. I set up a backup paperwallet. Just in case.
Unfortunately,
I checked the wallet and there was nothing in it. So SR got hit
super fast and nothing could be transfered out automatically.
Fortunately
I didn't loose much. I feel for everyone who did. Such a
sad day for all. I don't believe it's the end though. The
Phoenix will rise again.
@GoldenLotus I am so bummed, I
wanted to get the Lessons next. When you are ready, I'll be the
first in line! Please post your public key.

Checking in!
What the fuck.......... horrible news today.. :'(

Well I am out for the day I hope forums are up later if not Great
Love and will be sending +-.50000btc to that address. I will not expect
anything You My Friend Have Been Very Kind To ME. It was going to you
from the time I got it. Thanks again for all you have done I was looking
forward to the lessons
-
I will be logging in as often as time permits but at least daily to
stay abreast of the situation. However, as we do not know for how much
longer these forums will stay active, I will say my good byes now.
Thanks
go to you especially PL / GL for all your work, you have truly enriched
my life and that of my family. I will make note of your email address
but will not use it until you post your PGP key. I will send a decent
donation your way within the next couple of days. Looking forward to
your continued operations elsewhere or on a rejuvenated SR if that comes
to pass. My suggestion in the short term would be to read through the
pages of this thread and make note of all the people you care to keep in
contact with...I imagine that most people would have posted their PGP
key in the "Post your PGP keys here" thread
(http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=174.0;topicseen), I know I
did. Then you could add a new landing page on your current hosting
server to post an email address and a PGP key and do some business
direct. I'm sure your business will land on its feet...best of luck.
Much deserved thanks to T4B for handling the lottery and all the other good work you've done for this community.
Thanks
as well to jacob1234, Abbie and all the other users on this thread that
selflessly provide guidance and sound advice to those starting out and
provide good answers to the endless questions.

Not sure what to say about the horrible news.
GL, I really
hope you see this as an opportunity instead of the end. Is there
anything you would want to change or do differently with your sales
model or how you have things organized? Sounds like a perfect time
to implement it!
If/when this site goes down, I will look for you guys on the BMR forums.

Question.
I've been buying a few MC GC's from my local
Walmart SC. Thought I would give an OC coupon a go as well since Im such
a wuss and dont like using these coupons at the registers. Sure enough,
the coupon went through but asked for an attendant. She pushed it
through but I still hated that happening. Are the OC coupons supposed to
go right through on the WalMart SC's without intervention?

Excuse me guys and gals. But I am quite unsure about what is going
on in relation to the seizure of the silk road and where our coupon
adventures will stand come this Christmas.
Hence I just want to
update my collections now on the off chance that I can't later down the
line. Therein lies my problem that my http://purpltx7wizybwaj.onion/
link with the appropriate address gives me a 404 not found despite the
domain itself working just fine. If anyone could point me in the right
direction on how to access my purchase it would be greatly appreciated
despite the uselessness that a karma score now represent for us.
And
I would just like to give a huge thank you to Golden Lotus for
providing such a quality product for me and everybody else who posts or
just lurks these forums looking for tips on how to use them, they have
helped me get through a tough time in my life and saved me a heck of a
lot of money.
